el Loco & el Lobo: May 2015
http://mikenbondi.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
El Loco and el Lobo. With a few surprises. Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Ten years of El Loco and El Lobo. On May 27 2005, I made my first blog post. Having two days earlier taken off from Sydney for “a year or so” of European travel. Nothing special in that, other than my principal companion being a 75kg Alaskan Malamute by the name of Bondi, who I had adopted at eight weeks in Seattle just before Xmas 1998. Since the middle of last year however, things have really picked up. Each of us has moved on from...

el Loco & el Lobo: Mid-Baltic
http://mikenbondi.blogspot.com/2015/07/mid-baltic.html
El Loco and el Lobo. With a few surprises. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Oh look, I’m on an island. In the Baltic. Without a malamute. I’m not sure which is more surprising: me being an island I hadn’t even heard of a month ago, or travelling without a dog. On Monday, Gustav and I flew to Copenhagen. Home to fictional detective Kurt Wallander) and then a ferry to Rønne. On the island’s west coast. I suggested to someone that because of its location and popularity during summer vacations, I was visiting ̶...

http://mikenbondi.blogspot.com/2015/07/oseberg-sleevedays-1-and-2.html
El Loco and el Lobo. With a few surprises. Friday, July 31, 2015. Oseberg sleeve–days 1 and 2. The chief design inspiration is the Oseberg ship, a Viking ship found preserved in a Norwegian burial mound about a hundred years ago. and in particular, the set of “gripping beasts” which characterise the elaborate wood carvings on the ship. This Oseberg style. Is earlier than the Ringerike and Urnes styles used to create the “ dog in surf. 8221; tattoo I had done early last year. Midway through the second day...

el Loco & el Lobo: The Beagle has landed
http://mikenbondi.blogspot.com/2005/05/beagle-has-landed.html
El Loco and el Lobo. With a few surprises. Friday, May 27, 2005. The Beagle has landed. Dawn at Dubai: a nest of cranes. Short but succinct starting entry. Left Sydney at 9pm on Wed 25th on Emirates, bound for Manchester. My host, Jonnie, has been very gracious and after a quick trip to Sainsbury's put together enough lasagne for 12, but after eating enough lasagne for 0.5 I faded into jetlagged oblivion. Now we're headed off to Clapham Common and dinner! Recorded for future civilizations by Mike. Haigh ...

el Loco & el Lobo: Fais que ton rêve soit plus long que la nuit
http://mikenbondi.blogspot.com/2006/03/fais-que-ton-rve-soit-plus-long-que-la.html
El Loco and el Lobo. With a few surprises. Sunday, March 19, 2006. Fais que ton rêve soit plus long que la nuit. My first tattoo: an armband with tribalized text. Fais que ton rêve soit plus long que la nuit. Make your dream outlast the night. Design commissioned from Jonathan Harris. And executed by David at Art Corpus. The text appealed to me from the first time that I encountered it, maybe 10 years ago. It's the title of a very early and rare LP. By Vangelis, adapted from a sound-collage. Dog All up w...

el Loco & el Lobo: Munson’s Fantasia
http://mikenbondi.blogspot.com/2015/07/munsons-fantasia.html
El Loco and el Lobo. With a few surprises. Saturday, July 18, 2015. Gustav and I were doing some shopping on King Street this morning, but our main destination wasn’t opening for another forty-five minutes, so I took Munson down to Sydney Park for a spell to fill in time. We haven’t been there in a good while, partly due to time of year (it’s dark when I get home from work), weather (intermittently freezing) and public works (long fences blocking off regions of the park). We passed a tent making bird-cos...

el Loco & el Lobo: April 2015
http://mikenbondi.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
El Loco and el Lobo. With a few surprises. Saturday, April 25, 2015. Hail to the king. Gustav got another taste of extreme Sydney weather today with a furious mid-afternoon rain and hailstorm. For Munson however, it was the closest thing he’ll get to a snow-day here. And how else do you know you’ve got a malamute? First instinct is to lie down in in the faux snow.
