Still on holiday in Adelaide with my family and certainly enjoying the fine weather as its the height of summer here.
It seems I have been saying a lot that I am struggling with Faustus, and although I find it fascinating and quite brilliant, I have decided the stop / start / study approach is what is making it difficult. So have decided to listen to it all of the way through in one go, and also try and find a you tube version of the play. Now I have some sort of semblance of understanding I think it would be the right time....
One thing about being so far away from the UK is the lack of news from home, quite deliberate. Am I a worse person because of it? Doesn't feel that way, and the world keeps on turning, so makes me wonder why I take such an avid interest in the news and politics. Quite refreshing for it not to be all around me, and for the constant subliminal messages that the media surrounds us all with.
Great to be with my kids though, who I literally see once a year, since they have emigrated..but Oz seems an expensive place to me..
