Today is ANZAC day. Watched the 11am march through the main drag of Hobart. Thankful for sacrifice of Australians. Thankful most of all for Jesus’ sacrifice (1 John 4:10).
Port Arthur. Expensive. Worth it. Tour was great. We’ve enjoyed checking out Heritage buildings, learning about Convicts and becoming better acquainted with 19th Century ‘Justice’. Moved by reflecting on the events of 28th April 1996.
I heart Hobart. Launceston was next on the itinerary. But… we are staying in Hobart one more night. Yes. We’ve taken a stack of Hobart building pics. Here’s a few. 300 was the movie of choice for Wednesday night. Dave: I liked that movie. Row: Why? Dave: The violence. Did you like the movie? Row: Yes. Dave: Why? Row: The violence.
Wow, two violence-loving people in the same family. We’ll be praying for you.
By the way, have you seen the trailer for Grindhouse? It’s the new one from Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. It looks fantastic… if you like violence.
Also, I would love to see Hot Fuzz, which is by the blokes who did Shaun of the Dead, one of my favourite movies of last year.
Also also, what about this crazy video of moving octopus legs on a dinner plate. Just thought I’d throw that one in for fun.
Ben you should definitely see hot fuzz it starts like any normal British movie then moves into an all action packed very funny but serious movie. 8/10. Hi Dave hope you enjoy your launceston leg of your trip theres a town near there and all the buildings have murals on the walls..
Jon,
I think you mean Sheffield? Also famous for Flo Bjelke Peterson’s (aka former Qld Premier Sir Joh Bjelke Peterson’s wife) pumpkin scones…mmm.
I was also a fan of the violence and detail of 300, tho some scenes weren’t great…
BTW Grindhouse looks awesome. Tarantino & Rodriguez fans get excited.
hey i missed these comments before.
didn’t make it to sheffield.
hot fuzz was funny. good black humour.
300 – dan godden wrote a good post on it.
that octopus is a cack… it looks like it would be nice to eat! ticklish!
