So I arrived here at midday today.
Feeling a bit lost. Everything is so ... strange.
Not sure what to do now.
Starting to get a bit anxious. A bit teary. Trying hard not to think, or to feel.
Wishing I had a bourbon or some chips or junk food. Something to keep me busy and not feeling.

Can I send a carrier pigeon to you laden with special treats? Your favourite chocolate, a novel or magazine? @utopia

Hey @utopia - lots of different things happening?? What star rating are you going to give the place? Hope the food's good at the very least.
Yeah - apparently they are saying his death was avoidable. Indigenous health is very much a problem in this country. I remember going on a holiday to NT some years back and the tour guide (An Aboriginal girl) telling us that the native population is not genetically capable of processing alcohol all that well.
Not that this was Dr G's problem; rather it was Hep B which is preventable via vaccination.
We are missing you. Take care.
