The end of a mini-era
I’ve been doing a column in The Canberra Times for fifteen years. Today is the last one. The paper is now owned by Fairfax, a company which seems to be trying to tighten its belt, so from now on the … Continue reading

Cabasse in Sydney
Well I’ve just landed in Sydney to see what the latest goodies from French firm Cabasse are (see my last experience of La Sphere). I’m at T2 having flown here and they’ve arranged Uber transportation, which is apparently contracted hire … Continue reading

Another dozen reviews
I’ve been adding more of my reviews over on the appropriate page, a dozen in fact, including some damned fine movies. Just look for the bold ‘added’ items. koupit-pilulky.com
