Sunshine in town

The sun's rays shine happily upon old Sydney town today.

Car rego check sorted, wallet considerably lighter.

Oh well. Keep on trucking, I suppose..

Sunday night chill out zone

Busy week ahead.

Chilling out big time with my family. Nothing beats that..

Music musings

I love discussing music with my 24-year old step-daughter. I enjoy her take on things and what, in her opinion, makes for a credible artist or a good song.

In many ways I think music is something genuinely special and rare. If done right, a song or a symphony or an aria or a even a jaunty little tune on a tin whistle can aim its arrows straight at one's heart and create something truly extraordinary.

Some say music these days is a bit rubbish but I don't agree at all. Perhaps mainstream music hasn't quite got that instant appeal it may have once had but then my tastes were always a bit more alternative so in a way my focus is not so much on today's big selling artists anyway.

But hey, what do I know? 

Socceroos qualify!

Good on ya, lads!

Un-Australian

Apparently, professional idiot Catherine Deveny announced on Anzac Day that she 'hates all Diggers, past and present..' Nice.

Even allowing for the sad cliched method of provocation to generate interest in herself (shades of Greer perhaps? Greer, of course who responded to Salman Rushdie's fatwa by saying he'd only himself to blame) it's rather despicable. 

I

t's not the kind of Australia I would like to see emerging. Europe is already far down the track of surrendering its fine values on the altar of left-wing tokenism and politically correct postering.

I prefer the Lucky Country to the Looney Country..

Professional politician?

Rumours are building that Abbott is leaning towards changing his stance on marriage redefining and also that he doesn't mind the reduction in price of the do-it-yourself abortion pill from $900 to $36.

I suppose that's what he meant when he said he wouldn't let his Catholicism interfere with his policy making..

What's the point of that?
