I’m prompted to ask this question because of something that happened here where I live. I ‘m involved with running a smallish arts festival, in an effort to be more inclusive to young people we suggested a competition, pupils might be interested in entering, competitors were asked to design a poster for the festival. The […]
The Male Menopause…..
Hello Peeps, is there such a thing as the male menopause……I dont mean in the physical sense as we poor wretches of women have to endure, or in my own case never had one symptom…Phewww………no I am thinking as in men trying to hang onto their youth……I will give you a instance…….. a acquaintance of […]
What Makes You Go A-A-A-a-a-a-ah, Keep It Clean
What makes you go a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ah? After I thought a minute, I had to add keep it clean. What makes you spontaneously go A-A-A-a-a-a-ah with delight. If you were a cat you would purr, that is what I mean. I first thought of my morning coffee when I get it just right. I also thought of […]
A Toke, A drink, Which, and Why is one Illegal
“Give me a toke from your basket of smoke” was in a song I just heard and I wondered many things. I first thought of all that I miss because of laws that are made for no reason except to protect the interests of an enterprise or some other unknown reason. I thought of all […]
Smell …..the other sense.

For me they start with school based smells…… the smell […]
Memories
I watched “The Seekers” on YouTube today and it brought back happy memories. What a good singer Judith Durham was. My introduction to Aussie life, 51 years ago, was walking through the street in bright sunshine (It was February: Tasmania is not always so good on sunshine) and hearing “Hey there, Georgie girl…” coming from […]
Immigration and the New world Order
Look round our planet and populations are on the move .Desperate people are trekking to a “promised land”, where life is said to be better. Desperate people in those promised lands, feel overwhelmed, sympathy turns to resentment and anger. Immigration is going to increase as the climate changes will force people […]
Growing Old…A Privilege
I have been sitting here pondering what to do this new day given to me…and such a sunny day! as i age, i am thankful for each new decade i get to experience. Used to dread the thought, as most of us do, of getting older, but after many health experiences past 5 years, im […]
Generativity
I first heard that word on an episode of Bull, starring Michael Weatherly. When I was young, I always had a dictionary beside me for instances where I encountered new words. Today, I just googled it. From what I understand, it would be comparable to the transfer of information from a tradesman to an apprentice. […]
Why Be Honest
Why be honest? Are people honest by default which means they tell the truth unless they have a reason to lie. A saying I learned when I was very young, ” a lie is an abomination to the Lord and an ever ready aid in an emergency”. A lie is an abomination means that it […]
