This woman is cleverer, funnier and stronger than I am. So she can certainly kick YOUR ass...

I took my first full day in Sydney relatively easy and though I was up early (slight mistake in the time-zone difference when I used a 'wrong' clock as my reference) I decided to simply refamiliarise myself with the city layout.I took the train into Sydney mid-morning - it only takes about 10minutes from here to Circular Quay - and walked around parts of the sea-front, an obligatory return to the Sydney Opera House than back and into the city to walk around the shops (found major book outlets that...

I've arrived in Sydney safe and well and was in literal First Class all the way. Qantas staff are excellent and even noted the book I was reading 'Is that a relative?' (It was Steve's 50/50 Killer). Free champagne, lots of food, great seats. :) This ain't no poxy Premium Economy!Had a fairly easy transfer across in Singapore, though I discovered halfway to Sydney that the attendant hadn't given me back my full ticket so will have to sort with Carmel at some point, but needed to change the return date anyway.Only been here a few hours and will be having an early night. More news as it happ...

So....I did the Iron Man junket this weekend. The cast were in fine form, though with packing to do I couldn't stay down for any of the later festivities. The film does exactly what it says on the tin (see what I did there?)and is a gloriously fun romp with Robert Diwney Jnr having his best role in years. I'll definitely go see it again. Might even pay to do so. :)In a few short hours I'm off to London where I'll be a pod-person overnight at the Yotel facility (I was suppsoed to stay there on my...

In a week when I'm already all-over-the-place in my bid to get ready to be all-over-the-planet there were some hiccups and needless obstacles which really needn't have been there. For the last month or so I've been checking with one of the film distributors to ensure I got some of my agreed expenses back. Each step of the way I was assured it was all ok and when asked to submit all my bank details (again) I did so. After less and less direct contact I finally ran the distributors' accounts department only to find they had no record of my claim and had never had it. Given it's around 72 hrs before...

No rest for the wicked or apparently the 'vaguely naughty if only I had the energy or time'.The Australia holiday looks set for the end of April and for my birthday thereafter. I should be excited, but right now I have so much to get out of the way first that I'm channelling all my energy into getting most of my work out of the way and as much cash owed to me in before I go. Thanks to my friend I'll be flying Stand-By (hence the affordability) but that does mean that I may not get on the first flight I go for. Anyone who knows the Mosby luck will know I already have Plans B thru Z pencilled in...

It's snowing outside - nothing heavy or which will lay, but just enough to look chilly and damp, but I'm staying firmly inside getting some work out of the way. The list is shortending at one end, but there's always things to add at the other. Managed to get some design/business branding work done for an LA friend ealrier in the week and some last minute Impact additions finished. Over-all I'm in a reasonably okay postion time/work wise. Should be heading off tomorrow to London, with an early start on Tuesday doing press with ugly-boy, C-Lister George Clooney and co-star Renee Zellwegger for Leatherheads....
