Hi. I am Chris Round. Thanks for joining me! Each choice we make moves us somewhere. Sometimes the outcome is as expected and sometimes equally unexpected. This writing journey is leading to both. Trust you all get a measure of enjoyment out of the following brain fed written meat and veg. Read the rest NOW … Continue reading READ THIS
A SPORTING CHANCE 4
ASHRAM Part 2 SOMETHING FOUND So much style and flow! Always seem to have the Butt stuck out! Not too sure about the colour choices though! The writer celebrating his 50th birthday with a fun surf at "Toms" in Perth. (Photo: Les Round) Moving to Perth in Western Australia, being no more than 5-10 minutes … Continue reading A SPORTING CHANCE 4
A Sporting Chance 4
ASHRAM Some people say it is not the destination that counts, but the Journey itself. In this case I respectfully disagree. Car park view at the end of a long and winding dirt road of an uncrowded (2 people out) Southern Tasmanian surf spot on Bruny Island. Sitting out the back of the wave, looking … Continue reading A Sporting Chance 4
A Sporting Chance 3
"Ave a Go ya Mug" The above title is quintessential Aussie slang often yelled out by Cricket spectators at Batsmen that are particularly slow in scoring runs. England's all time greatest most boring batsman - Geoff Boycott must have heard this thousands of times on Aussie cricket tours. Damn he was hard to get out … Continue reading A Sporting Chance 3
A Sporting Chance 2
NO TALENT WINNERS David vs Goliath in which the small, ignored and supposedly no talent runt defeats the ultimate champion of pedigree and reputation. Whether this fable is true, it does not matter. The moral is that if you battle for the right cause, and your heart and resolve are true, then many obstacles can … Continue reading A Sporting Chance 2

I am no different from the rest of humanity. Music is in us all from primitive human banging a Mammoth bone on … Continue reading Bust a Move

(EG: One year of time when the speed of an object is approaching that of … Continue reading Dilation
just WRITE!
Apparently, the best thing to do if there are no ideas for writing is to just write. Right then, now I write. Write about not writing or just use the word “write” as often as possible in a few minutes of writing? I do not want to waste valuable binary digital space writing about nothing. … Continue reading just WRITE!
SMOKE
Nothing Pretty. Just toxic. (credit C Round) A cigarette disappears to the filter again, just like thousands of times before via a packet of (20) cigs per day, 7,300 in the past year alone. 10 puffs per fag and 73,000 smoke inhales to the lungs in that time. 35-40 years puffing away on the 'magic' … Continue reading SMOKE
A Warming Argument (long read)
Forward: The original idea for this 70 minutes of narrative had been floating around since November 2019. Reading about the shortcomings of the 'Paris' agreement on Greenhouse emissions and yet again witnessing much politics being played out by those Nations led by Conservative right wing Governments, really had my 'Greenie' blood boiling. Yet again, the … Continue reading A Warming Argument (long read)
