It was in a container next to the Equal. That's not how things used to be. I'm sure that miners from days gone by are turning in their tombs.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17571478253607723896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18544357.post-1156809170883222452006-08-29T09:52:00.000+10:002006-08-29T09:52:00.000+10:00The Wind-up Bird is one of my all-time favourites,...The Wind-up Bird is one of my all-time favourites, ever. I also really enjoyed A Wild Sheep Chase which I read with book group earlier in the year. I was very pleased to learn that Murakami does absolutely no planning before he just sits down and writes a novel.<BR/><BR/>Kookie: it's a pretty large site out here: about 500 on site at any one time, 120 of whom are the truck drivers and shovel operators it is my happy duty to look after. They are great guys on the whole, though the general levels of literacy and dentistry are low. The ratio of women to men is a bit higher than what you experienced - but still I hardly ever have to open a door for myself. Oh, and they always apologise if they say f**kn c**t in my presence. It's quaint.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17571478253607723896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18544357.post-1156779688868480612006-08-29T01:41:00.000+10:002006-08-29T01:41:00.000+10:00I love the photos- also I notice you are reading t...I love the photos- also I notice you are reading the The Wind Up Bird- I liked you- you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18544357.post-1156751731362499952006-08-28T17:55:00.000+10:002006-08-28T17:55:00.000+10:00Maaate...I've been in a donger (lurve that word)an...Maaate...I've been in a donger (lurve that word)and a wet and dry mess in Newman in WA.
