I cat at work and at home. My desk at work faces a wall dominated by the Magritte painting "The Great Family" of a huge bright bird rising out of a dark sea. This building used to be horse stables in the 1940s, thus the cobbled courtyard. There are tunnels underneath the building which lead to other ex-army locations and which were used during the war to transport soldiers in large numbers through Sydney without alarming the public.

At home, my computer is in my bedroom/office/rehearsal room. It is by the window, which looks out across a valley of suburban rooves and then out to a vast sea. Some mornings, the sea and sky fuse so I have my own Turner painting outside my window! Unfortunately, I usually cat at night, or early in the morning post-rehearsing with Chicky and the Critter, so the view outside my window is just black. The only thing I see then are the lights from the Red Cross home next door.

Mbo: I normally trust and respect your musical opinions. HOWEVER, I draw the line at Kenny G. As a saxophone player and lover of jazz I feel that he's about as musical as a McDonalds burger is a wholesome meal. Whenever I'm out eating or drinking with my partner and we hear Kenny G, he asks the management to change the music - coz he knows how it makes my skin crawl.
