I have just received word that I have been blogging with WordPress for 6 years, although when I look at my archives I started this blog in March 2011. Even I can tell that doesn’t quite add up.

In reality I started my blog on a platform, Posterous, that subsequently became defunct after a company takeover. Such is the way of social media.

Anyway I have decided to honour my 6 years on this platform because at least I have maintained a reasonably regular presence here, which is something to celebrate.

I leave you with a random piece of vernacular architecture and it’s somewhat singular decorative adornment that I came cross over the weekend, in the central western town of Dunnedoo in New South Wales. For non-Australians the term ‘dunny’ is slang for toilet so this town has, and continues to be on the receiving end of much unwanted mirth.
