Such a long time between drinks and I apologise to my 2 readers!
As I write it buckets down rain, about 120mm in past three days and this only two weeks after we had 320mm in 4 days. Of course it was much heavier at Noosa and caused flooding. So sad to see most of it flow into the Pacific when some vision 10 years ago could have seen the harvesting now of at least some of the stormwater run off. Still most politicians are door closers after the event and the current crop are no exception.
WOW!! ONLY TWO MORE MONTHS OF HOWARD AND THEN HE AND HIS SMUG CRONIES, DOWNER, ABBOT, COSTELLO AND NELSON, WILL BE GONE.
What about APEC? 5km fence in Sydney's CBD; helicopter borne snipers sighting pedestrians on the Harbour Bridge; watercannon; police going over the top; the portrayal of all demonstrators as violent, etc etc. Can you believe this is Australia?
And George Bush coming here with his 4 plane circus. The leader of the free world being anything but free as he is closeted away from ordinary Aussies in bizarre motorcades and boatacades and tells us that his mission to bring freedom to Iraq is working. Irony on irony!!
Lots of reading lately - Coetzee, Winton, Mistry, Clive Hamilton. More soon.
