I know, I know – but this is just …
      I don’t like reblogging posts when the image is what I want to draw attention to – it’s a giveaway of what I prefer to be a gorgeous surprise. So go and have a look at Jackie’s most recent (I think – haven’t got through them all) post, and say “Oh, good GRIEF !”, like […]

Obscenity
      There’s no other word for what our bloody guvmint is doing to asylum seekers – the way they’re being treated is nothing less than obscene. What must be pointed out, however, is that the Opposition, the Australian Labor Party, is unable to separate itself from this unspeakable behaviour. It was they who reinstated ‘offshore processing’, […]

BIA – run for your lives !
      The pulled muscle has benefited enormously from being treated with my mini heatpad (once I found it, that is: does anyone else have problems in finding stuff you KNOW you didn’t throw out ?). That meant, in truth, lying on it: I spent almost the entire day in my recliner chair, luxuriating in that localised […]

OOA for a bit
      I’ve pulled (I think) a muscle under my right shoulder-blade, and it is unwarrantably painful. Kid on a bike, riding on the pavement. Didn’t actually make contact: he rode so close that the wind of the little bastard’s passage knockedme against the building wall. Good samaritan helped me back inside, where I had to cancel […]

Oh, the embarrassment !
      That’s our guvmint, folks ! – apparently there’s one relocation program for those the guvmint doesn’t want and another for those it does. Two discrete programs, it seems. Oh, hang on ! – could it be that the statement was issued by a total dickhead ? Surelyit isn’t possible that Mad Morrison’s motley […]

Further on being shameless
      http://wp.me/p3ZISx-1Ur One of the problems of the advance of Age is that one develops anawful habit of repeating oneself. Itisn’t that we don’t remember if we’ve told the story before, it’s that we don’t remember to whom we told it ! (Btw: you won’t find any clipart of Old Mother Time on the Web: believe […]

CS monthly photo #8
      This was the last French village we stayed in – Buxières-les-Mines, in thedépartement of Auvergneand therégion of Allier. Our gîte was a beautiful flat, furnished with taste … but for that perennial gîte problem of the lounge suite’s being impossible to sit on with comfort. Stop me if I’ve said this before, but we never […]

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” (or what’s so hard about MMT)

Is this totally shameless …?
      Prolly, as Stringer was wont to say … I’m not a TwitBook adherent: I’ve tried both and thrown in the towel. With Facebook I was constantly driven bonkers by having no idea how to make it in any way different from this blog: what to post ? when ? why ? and how to make […]

Malcolm’s lost the plot
      Malcolm used to be the Great White Hope of those who felt they could vote Liberal under certain circumstances … perhaps if Mr Rabbit caught myxomatosis ? – andwas when limping along accidentally shot by a member of the NSW Shooters & Fishers Party out on a weekend killing spreein one of our pristine National […]
