I love food, especially fresh salad. And with the weather warming up salad makes a good light meal for dinner with some grilled chicken, fish, or a hard boiled egg.
To that end the veggie garden has an abundance of lettuce of different verieties growing this year. Along with onions (who’s leaves are great chopped and tossed in) and a range of herbs.
Lettuce has proven remarkably easy to grow and they also look rather pretty!
I have to say that since I launched my new site just over a week ago I have been delighted with the results. I have had lots of great feedback from friends, customers, and new visitors.
The question now is: what I can do to make it even better?
Is there a subject that you would like me to write an article about? Or would you like to see a particular kind of photo of me? I already have one request for more photos of my bottom!
So, if you have questions, ideas, or requests, make a comment below or send me an email and I will do my best to respond.

Just a quick post to let everyone know that I am now sending out my members emails using a new program called LAeMail. It’s quite a simple application, but it does exactly what I need (send email to my mailing list with no fuss).
LAeMail is free software, supported by donations. I haven’t donated yet, but I do intend to in the near future. It’s a nice example of the free and open source community providing value that the big corporate software houses can’t
Thanks LAeMail. Much appreciated!
John.
P.S. If you are not a member and would like to be, just go to my Photos page and complete the registration for at the top. You will get access to all of my photos, and notifications when I have specials on, or new articles and photo sets available.
I was staying at the Rydges hotel in Rose Hill on Friday. Rather than order room service, or go down to the restaurant I decided to go out for a walk to find some food (hotel dining gets old very quickly if you spend as much time in hotels as I do).
I was really surprised then to find that unlike Australian suburbs as I know them – where walking is easy and the built environment is pedestrian friendly – this one is like a little slice of Houston, Texas.
If you have never been to Houston, then heres a short description: limited footpaths (if any), massive parking lots, limited public transport, everything is focused on driving. Even (I kid you not) driving 100 meters up the road to get lunch which is considered normal.
Walking is liable to get you heckled or worse. Only poor people walk, or catch the bus, so pedestrians are considered fair game by many.
So walking around Rose Hill was a real shock. The fast food stores (extruded from their respective corporate motherships) all seemed to assume that the only way anyone would approach them was by car.
The average pedestrian was forced to walk far out of their way to reach a door, and often run the gauntlet of driveway crossings and car parks to get there. It was really quite startling and more than a little bit repulsive. Somewhere some council town planners need to be sent for “re-education”
At least the extra walking required was good for me!

Katsura Imperial Villa is a palace built in Japan in the 17th century by Prince Hachijo Toshihito. It is a truly beautiful complex of buildings that merges with their gardens and lake, the reflected sunlight from the water casting rippling paterns across the walls and ceiling. It is possibly one of my favourite pieces of architecture and landscaping (along with Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Waters).
I was reminded of Katsura recently as I lay on the deck of my hideaway enjoying the early morning sunlight with a good book and a cup of tea. The sunlight reflected off the pond below the deck danced on the wall and under the eves of the building bringing to mind Katsura’s design which combines the villa’s lake, buildings, and garden to great effect.
It’s easy to get carried away by the presure of life and work these days and forget to take some time out to enjoy the simple beauty to be found in nature, good architecture, or the form and feel of a lovers body beside you.

Ok, I just have to make a blog post about this. You know what CPR is right?
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure for people in cardiac arrest or, in some circumstances, respiratory arrest.
(thanks to wikipedia for that quote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPR)
Well, this just has to be the most engaging, fun, and sexy CPR advertisement I have ever seen. It is brilliant.

I know CPR, but this just makes me want to go out and do it all again.

Deciding to hire a male escort like me can be daunting. It’s a whole new world for most women. And once you have made the decision, how do you choose from all of us available guys?
Well, I discovered a rather neat blog today: http://ladyluck-thecompanionista.blogspot.com
Sadly, LadyLuck no-longer updates this blog, but it has at least been left in place as a resource for anyone interested in hiring a male companion, or escort.
I am delighted to see that Ladyluck is now posting to her blog again after a hiatus of a year or so.
Ladyluck lives in Las Vegas in the US and has taken the time to share her thoughts and experiences of hiring male companions. It’s an interesting blog with a lot of practical information. Some of the post titles include:
Keep in mind that Ladyluck is in the US where escort services are illegal in most places, so “companions” and their customers have to be careful to avoid any suggestion of exchanging sexual services for money. Thankfully that is not an issue here in New South Wales in Australia, so we are able to dispense with the circuitus.
So, if you are considering booking a date with me, but are not sure, then take a moment to read some of Ladyluck’s posts and get a woman’s perspective on male companions and escorts.
John.
