The Dish

Because I haven't taken the camera out for a spin in ages, here's a photos taken on the trek down from Brisbane to Hobart.

Take two geeks, one road trip and some Space Science, put them together and what do you get? The Parkes Radio Telescope, of course!

Mmm, dishy. Somewhat disappointingly, there weren't any sheep.

There's not a whole lot going on around here at the moment; the boy is busy with uni work and I'm busy getting back on my feet again. There's a bunch of medical stuff going on in the near future, but in the mean time I'm enjoying feeling mostly well again while I can. Work's hitting the busy end of financial year period, meaning I should be in super-productive mode. I'm struggling, however: after so long sick my attention span has reduced to that of an impatient toddler. I'm going to have to work on that...

Like most Australians, I've got my Pennies from Kevin now. I was going to treat myself to a new lens, but thanks to the ridiculousness of the Medicare gap I'll be using my stimulus moneys to cover my medical expenses (or at least part thereof). Maybe if I manage a decent tax return then.

In other news, apparently Stephen Hawking is seriously ill. Please be directing all your get well vibes in his direction.
