Autumnal

Autumn has, up until now, been marvellous and no mistake. Warm, clear days when the sun was still balmy and those lovely blue Sydney skies. Today, though, was altogether different. Stormy winds and a coldish chill. I even noticed some brown leaves in piles along the street on my way home. This is too much like Europe and not at all what I had signed up for when I landed in Botany Bay...

Keeping fit

Life is a funny old thing, isn’t really? Do you agree with me? When you are young you are full of vim and vigour and you feel virtually indestructible, so to speak. At least, that is more or less how I felt for much of my early years. I did sort of feel as though I could really do just about anything and nothing could stop me in my tracks. I took risks every now and then and engaged in some ill advised activities from time to time, and somehow I did sail through all of that glorious turmoil, straight into my early middle ages. Ahum.

My weight was never really a big issue. I was fairly fit and energetic and could also more or less eat whatever I fancied without putting on too much weight. I played sports, a bit of soccer and tennis and I also enjoyed swimming a lot.

These days of course I do need to be a bit more careful with regards to gaining weight and exercising more where possible. When you are a little bit older it is just harder to keep slim as your body just wants you to slow down and take it easy and have a cake. Or two. So it is a bit harder to keep fit and slim. Of course there are many more weightloss and bariatric options to choose from so that does make it easier. I will keep fit, as fit as fit can be!

A night out..

That is entertainment, indeed it is. What is, you may well ask and you would be right to do just that. The theatre, that is. The theatre in all its many dazzling manifestations, now that, truly is, entertainment. And art of course. I marvel at the skills of live stage performers, and the way they hold the audience spellbound and captive. But, we all know full well, that it can be a tad on the pricy side to go and see a live performance. So, if by any chance you are looking for Beacon Theatre tickets or possibly Honda Center tickets then look no further. A Cheap Seat.com will help you get the best seats at the best prices.

After all, you may enjoy at night at the theatre, watching some great play or musical but you do not want it to break the bank, am I right? Check out Madison Square Garden tickets for instance and you will see in the blink of an eye what great value this site can offer to you and yours.

Whether you are in the market for some Nassau Coliseum tickets or even some fabulous Radio City Music Hall tickets it is all here for you to enjoy and, not unimportantly, save some money in the process. That makes seeing live performances a real pleasure if you can make a good saving whilst enjoying a great night out.

Gillard does Korea

Our remarkably ungainly PM Gillard is in Korea marking Anzac Day, paying tribute to our fallen soldiers. That's Labour spin for you: pulling off commemorating the dead young men of many Democratic nations who fought an army representing communist tyranny. They were giving up their lives in combat with her chums. Chapeau, Prime Minister!

For Marx and Gillard

The Labour government has come up with another whopper. Now we may see Australian women fighting and dying at the front in battle. After all, equality you know? So, it's not bad enough that sometimes our men need to fight, die and kill, now we want our women to engage in the same savagery. Together with abortion and euthanasia I suppose it makes for a nice sense of secular progress. Hmm.

I wonder if we are ready to see women soldiers in body bags returning from Afghanistan or online footage of women soldiers being beheaded by the slightly less politically-correct Taleban. I wonder.

I suppose our PM would not want our boys and girls to die for God, Queen and Country but rather for Marx, Gore and Gillard..

Happy Easter everyone. The Lord is truly Risen..
