Two rather strange tailoring terms are “straight” and “crooked” to describe a coat. I’ll try to clarify. For what it’s worth I generally cut a “straight” coat. Which is how an Anderson & Sheppard coat was always described. Obviously there are lots of details that give a suit a certain … Continue reading

They quickly decay and provide nourishment to the microorganisms in the soil. Such microorganisms feed the tree and allow it to grow more healthy … Continue reading

The city of same name to a working town with none of the picturesque colonial stylings, enduring cultural practices, sunny beaches … Continue reading

Ectomorphs have long lean limbs with a limited amount of muscularity. Whilst this gives them great definition, the ectomorph has a limited capacity for stress.

Is it? I don’t know, and to some extent it will always be dependent on what variety you are referring to – preferences in men, women, or sex! They say ‘generic they’ that women tend to always navigate towards bad boys, look at Rihanna and Chris Brown – treat them … Continue reading

I’ve noticed something about the healthy food movement of which I am a part. It lacks MEN. Sure, some of the prominent figures are men, like Joel Salatin, Mark McAfee, Peter Kennedy, Esq., David Gumpert, Russell Blaylock, MD, and some others. But leaders alone don’t make a movement. A movement … Continue reading

Stark red earth, the dry gray-green of stunted plants, kangaroos and unending flat, disorienting planes; I doubt I am alone in these images of the Outback, culled from postcards, films and friends’ Facebook albums. But after a year of record rains, this is a land transformed. Blanked in thorny shrubs, … Continue reading
Some people tell me they don’t like soup. I say ‘what’s not to love?’ I call it a ‘miracle in a bowl’ for a host of very good reasons and spend copious hours endeavouring to convince non-believers! My closest friend (and soup supremo), Jean Barr and I have been on … Continue reading
