Mon, 25 January 2010 That Happy Feeling #84. – The Australia Day Edition.
A chat about Australia Day and a potted history of European settlement from 26 January 1788, but acknowledging that the aboriginal people have called Australia home for 40,000 years and see 26/1 as Invasion Day. I can’t change perceptions, but can acknowlege concerns so for those concerns are acknowledged here. Mod’s Wine of the Week is a Cudal (Cumulus) 2006 Rolling Chardonay An amalgam of Welsh Choirs finish off. Did I tell you that Mum’s Dad was Welsh? Don’t be a drunken, racist yobbo on Australia Day! Enjoy yourself. ! Happy Australia Day. Comments[0] |
Wed, 23 December 2009 Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday, and we'll see you just before the New Year. Drive safely, don't stress out too much and enjoy the period. If you get to spend it with children, even if they're not your own, so much the better. Tomorrow, Christmas Day, I'm heading up to the central coast, basically across to the central coast, to the North of Sydney. A nice ferry ride first, then a friend of 50 years will pick me up and I'll spend Christmas with him and his family. 4 generations, and lots of visitors, so it'll be a good time. I'm staying overnight which means that I can have a drink or too and not worry about getting home. The forecast earlier in the week, was that it might be a wet Christmas Day, but if today's anything to judge, unless there's a late storm, it should be warm and sunny tommoow. Merry Christmas, Peace, Health and Fellowship to you all. Comments[1] |

Fri, 12 September 2008 Tonight we talk about New South Wales politics and how silly it is. Late news. Since I created the file it's got sillier, but I'll leave that for next time. Going away for a few days to South Australia's Barossa Valley Wine Country. Will have a sip or three for you. Red, or White? Comments[0] |
