Last night there were two television choices that appealed to me. 1. Masterchef (One of only two reality TV shows I enjoy) or 2. The debate between Prime Minister Scott Morrison, and Leader of the Opposition Anthony Albanese. I looked at a bit of the commentary on the ABC website, but then decided that I … Continue reading How Old Are They?

It’s Election Time! Oh Joy? Also, what happened to concern for others?
Three weeks from yesterday, will be Australia's Federal election. I've been running an informal poll on my patients at work. If the circumstances are appropriate, I ask one question: 'Are you enjoying the election coverage?' The responses are not as varied as I expected. Basically there's one response. 'Is this the best we can do?' … Continue reading It’s Election Time! Oh Joy? Also, what happened to concern for others?
Boba Fett Thoughts
Be aware. Spoilers for The Book of Boba felt ahead! I watched the final episode of this series last night, and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I'm aware that some people don't share my opinion, as I've seen people commenting in fairly mixed fashion on social media. However, there are a … Continue reading Boba Fett Thoughts

The Challenges of 2021
Every second word last year seemed to be 'unprecedented.' When 2020 ended, there were many memes, comments, and hopes that 2021 would be better, and that the issues of the pandemic would be over. I remember at the time, thinking that those hopes would be proved to be futile, because the simple change of date … Continue reading The Challenges of 2021
Catastrophe
At the end of 2019, much of eastern Australia had been in drought for three years. Then a huge portion of it burned down. It was a fire season of epic proportions, with huge swathes of land completely burnt out. Smoke blanketed huge portions of NSW and Victoria, and some days, all you saw or … Continue reading Catastrophe
A Little Bit More On The Tennis – or Suck It Up Princess
My last blog post was about the hypocrisy of sport and politics. I talked about the Australian Open Tennis Tournament in particular. So, an update. As the players and their support people have flown into Australia on chartered flights, several flights have had people test positive for COVID-19. Now, just to recap. The #AusOpen is … Continue reading A Little Bit More On The Tennis – or Suck It Up Princess
Christmas Is Coming
In this 'Year Like No Other' I've been reflecting on Christmas. Partly because we had our final teen Study at Church this morning (we only have them monthly due to the need to comply with COVID regulations), and partly because my husband and I will have our first Christmas since the kids arrived, without either … Continue reading Christmas Is Coming
Spring Has Sprung
It's October, and we're now in the second month of spring. Days are warmer, and the air is full of the sound and smell of growing things, both flora and fauna. Everything is incredibly green, which is such a marvellous change from last year's dusty dryness. It seems as if everything is celebrating the rain … Continue reading Spring Has Sprung
