Pavlov Strikes Again!

Posted by pesky | July 14, 2008 .

As I am sure most of you know, Pavlov was a scientist who discovered that he could trigger a predictable response in a dog by associating feeding it and ringing a bell. Pavlov was able to condition his dog so that it salivated every time he rang a particular bell (because he had rung [...]

Sloth and ennui

Posted by pesky | July 10, 2008 .

Sadly, both Dina and Quirky must be suffering from these afflictions given their lack of updates.  Dina has no excuse since she now has a computer and an internet connection, but is yet to make her first appearance despite numerous false starts.  As for Quirky, it is a case of “all bum and no fluff”!  [...]

Bruny Beckons

Posted by pesky | May 29, 2008 .

What a trip! Dina, Churchill, Quirky and I have just returned from a magnificent walking trip on Bruny Island. This is the first installment of our report. Dina is still waiting to get her computer operating fully so she can commence contributions – she should be ready by next week. Quirky [...]

Mellow Melbourne Autumn Stroll

Posted by pesky | May 18, 2008 .

By far the best season in Melbourne is Autumn, in my opinion. Crisp cool mornings, warm sunny days with the light not as harsh and bright as the Summer season. Dina, Quirky and I made another foray along the Yarra River on Thursday, and I managed to sneak a picture of Dina and Quirky as [...]

Peking Duck & Beijing Dumplings

Posted by pesky | May 10, 2008 .

Or should that be Beijing Duck & Dumplings?  What, in any event does this have to do with walking?  Well Dina Quirky and I decided we’d treat ourselves to a Yum Cha after a traumatic week at work, however our favourite Yum Cha restaurant the West Lake, was full and Quirky had neglected to book [...]

Murdering the language

Posted by pesky | May 1, 2008 .

I can’t wait for Dina to get her damned computer.  Don’t know how much more of Quirky’s gawky “Dear Reader” mush I can stand!  If anybody out there is reading this – I am sure you agree!!!  Dina, Quirky and I met up with Hoppy, who is on the mend after a nasty motor bike [...]

Sunday Stroll aborted for a Dolt

Posted by pesky | April 23, 2008 .

It was a glorious Sunday morning, and my bush walk beckoned.  However, I decided instead to watch ABC1’s current affairs program Insiders, thinking it would exercise my mind.  What a huge mistake and a monumental waste of time.  Melbourne’s resident Village Idiot Andrew Bolt, whose bilious bilge can be found in the editorial columns of [...]

Dynamic Duo in Planning Mode

Posted by pesky | April 17, 2008 .

Quirky and I did a quick circuit today, whilst Dina went off for a long lunch with “the girls”.  Afterwards I volunteered to make the bookings for the Fat C’s Bruny Island adventure, to take place from 24th to 28th May.  Little did I realize what angst I was letting myself in for, as neither [...]

A Quick Circuit and an Interesting Plan

Posted by pesky | April 16, 2008 .

Dina and I completed a quick circuit along the Yarra River today, without Quirky, who was apparently home in bed [I'll say no more].  We didn’t see Churchill (our only graduate), but I did speak to him by phone to see if he is interested in accompanying Dina, Quirky and me next month on [...]

Global Warming and the Fat C’s

Posted by pesky | April 15, 2008 .

As an addendum to Quirky’s latest offering, I’d like to point out that the weather today was unseasonably warm, making the walk undoubtedly pleasant, but nevertheless bringing home the fact that not even simple pleasures are unconnected from one of the greatest challenges to face humankind. I just wanted to say this for I [...]
