This is the song I'm currently listening to. Sung by two greats of the Australian music industry - Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham. I listen to John Farnham every time I get homesick. His greatest hits lives happily on my iPod (favourite songs include You're the Voice, Have a Little Faith, and That's Freedom. Look him up, it's worth it!).

Needless to say, I'm a little homesick right now.

On the bright side, I've passed the 100 000 word mark for book 3 of The Great Man series. There's still a fair amount to write, but I think I'll be finished the rough draft of the book by the end of this week. It all depends on how long the Prologue and Epilogue take.

I'm sore and tired from training last night. So, I'll keep this post short. Here's today's Forgotten English:

Sinkings:

Toothache and neuralgia. From Dutch zinkings, rheumatism.
