I've just returned from 'work'...of a sort. I went to the office, up on the Coast and returned to Brisbane early to attend a function in the city. 'What a life', one might say. Well yes.
As I write, the radio people are talking about hobbies, what are they, what are yours? Funny that. I wonder how I would answer that? I have 'hobbies' as defined, as things I do away from work: photography, music, tai chi, movies...and yet, many times my work and leisure time overlap.
I might see a movie, for example, and find it relevant to something I'm teaching; I'll read a book and spot a paragraph or two that might work in a tutorial. An art exhibition similarly.
So tonight I was invited to the opening of an exhibition at QUT, how did architects respond to the earthquake/tsunami/nuclear reactor meltdown triple disaster of 2011. It is a thoughtful and diverse exhibition.

I work closely with colleagues who have been working on Fukushima for the past few years. It is a constant in my work, politically and emotionally. It will remain so for years to come.

Sometimes, it is quite OK to not worry about that blurring line.
