One challenge that totalitarian regimes were never able to meet was to be able to see themselves accurately. Never mind centrally planning the economy, they cannot get an accurate picture at a point in time. Hassles like the above have to be a big part of the reason.

I recall our conversation at Berala pre-poll recently (prior to the Hamas atrocities) where you opined that anti-semitism in Labor-land is not just present, but fashionable.
Rank hypocrisy, racism, projection and blatant, undisguised lying is in their DNA, as it is in all leftards.
All part of their compensating mechanism for a complete inability to defend or argue their untenable, insane beliefs.
And always couched in the gentlest, warmest, positive language a psychopath can conjure up.
During the NO volunteering, it was a real struggle to stay quiet while hearing the YESsers regurgitate their focus-group-enhanced lies to the incoming voters.
One can only thank some undefined Deity for our success, against the overwhelming might arraigned against us.
Coverage of the Hamas, Israel issue is simply following well worn paths dating back to the second intifada IIRC, at least.

Regenerative farming simply makes sense.
[…was I meant to read that in an Antony Fauci voice? joke]
Oh it does to me too Vicki, i think everyone finds they’re 3/4 doing it already, and the last 1/4 appeals to their sentiment. But, like organic and Organic™, there’s a big difference between the meaning of the word, and the meme.
And there are thousands of hungry desk workers just itching to get their gatekeeper hands on the means of production, because they’re better people and love rivers and animals more than the nasty farm people they see on 4 Corners. Maybe the Antony Fauci voice is less of a joke than i’d like to hit you with on a sunny afternoon…
…
Anyway the reason I’m grinding my teeth in the office instead of working on this sunny afternoon is, I’m battling with a pruning contract company over a massively inflated invoice. Half the work they did turns out was handballed to a celestial subcontractor- so after a week of trying to get the work on spec, bashing my head against the wall with the “supervisor”, I told them to bugger off because to go back thru would be to risk irreparable damage on top of vague sh*t technique.
And the other crew was in-house… who were equally terrible, but i did the right thing and coached them, being Timorese they were at least able to engage- but if their workers don’t make the minimum wage, their pay gets topped up at my expense, which apparently was communicated to me.
I’m sick of being a nice bloke, it’s just bleeding me dry. Absenteee owners woith open chequebooks are a big part of the problem, it encourages contractors to a “house style” which involves constant clean-up work. And stretching out hours.
We should airdrop Mr Husic into Gaza so he can reevaluate the Israeli military response first hand. A year or so should be enough for a good thorough check.
It is actually kind of funny to see the recommended food pairings for Champagne – like fish and chips. Perhaps not the local fish and chip shop but still not exactly haute cuisine either.

I find it annoying because o have no idea how something that specific will taste or feel so I cannot think of an alternative.
I think they make those recommendations as a joke gala way through a bottle. They are really just saying “If you drink this wine you are going to be so pissed laughing you will make nonsense like this up”.
Now that would be a recommendation.

REVEALED: The video Israel claims shows a Hamas terrorist ADMITTING crazed jihadi gunmen were ordered to ‘behead’ Jewish victims and ‘do whatever you want’ with them during invasion
. The Israeli military has shown the Mail footage of this prisoner’s interview
. We are choosing NOT to publish the video for ethical reasons, but believe it is in the public interest to report its contents
The Hamas captive speaks calmly and clearly. His commanders, he says, ordered their fighters to ‘behead’ women, children and the elderly.
They were like ‘animals’ and instructed the invaders that, after murdering women, they should abuse their bodies, he says.
Even after two weeks of unremittingly sickening stories that have emerged since the October 7 atrocity, these are gruesome and incendiary claims, and they come amid a huge backlash against allegations that Hamas beheaded victims.
He says that in Gaza, he had been taught in mosques to respect women and children, but it was ‘different’ in the Hamas ‘army’.
‘In the army they tell us to kill, massacre them everywhere,’ he says. ‘Women and children and so on. In the religion, they say it is forbidden to kill children, women, the elderly. In the army, the commander will tell you, stomp on their heads, behead them, do whatever you want with them.’
If this is true, it is the first indication that Hamas terrorists actively sought to decapitate victims. It has been suggested that headless bodies found by rescue workers might have been decapitated by blasts from the grenades terrorists were hurling into homes, rather than being deliberately beheaded.
It is obvious, therefore, why the Israeli military wants the startling claims made in this video to be public on the all-important information battlefield.
Equally, there is no doubt that Israel’s enemies will say the video is just propaganda.
There is more. The interrogator asks the man about the comparison Israel has been making between Hamas and the Islamic State terror group.
The captive appears to agree, saying: ‘ISIS burns, beheads and butchers…Hamas became ISIS.’
He says that Hamas commanders sent fighters on suicide missions, telling them:
‘You’re going to go in, not come back.’
He says they are ‘inhuman’, and became ‘animals’, and adds: ‘It’s things a person doesn’t do. Beheading people. Having sex with dead bodies – meaning the body of a dead young woman.’
Israel is still trying to rescue more than 200 hostages snatched by Hamas and taken to Gaza, and any snippet of information could be a vital clue as to their whereabouts.
If Israel is criticised for releasing a prisoner video, it should be said that several of the hostages have already been paraded on video by Hamas, some looking terrified.
And confirmation that victims were found without heads has come from numerous sources, including Israel’s most senior pathologists tasked with identifying them.
Yesterday the Israeli authorities hit back in dramatic style at the doubters who are spreading ‘Holocaust denial-like’ theories. In a bid to counter the sceptics bleating about ‘fake news’, they staged what must be the most macabre cinematic event in history.
Only journalists were allowed into the 45-minute screening of unedited footage collected from the head-cams and smartphones of Hamas death squads. Many were in tears at the screening in a military complex in Tel Aviv.
The footage included clear recordings of civilians being shot, stabbed, tortured and burned. Corpses were arranged for all to see – bound, gagged and riddled with bullet holes.
In one clip, a Hamas terrorist throws a grenade at a father and his son. The blast kills the father, who pitches forward on to the turf, while the young boy is covered in his blood.
The child is dragged inside and forced to sit next to his brother, whose eye is a bloody mess after being subjected to horrific torture. One of the boys sobs: ‘Why am I alive?’ as the ruthless terrorists stand over the body of his father.
Another dark chunk of footage showed the headless corpses of IDF soldiers splayed in the street.Introducing the grim screening, government spokesman Eylon Levy said: ‘The IDF has been collecting footage from bodycams taken by Hamas death squads as they rampaged through the communities in southern Israel, butchering everyone in sight.
‘I can’t believe I’m saying this – as we work to defeat the terror organisation, we are witnessing a Holocaust denial-like phenomenon evolving in real time as people are casting doubt on the magnitude of the atrocities Hamas committed against our people, and in fact recorded, in order to glorify this violence.’
On Sunday, Israeli president Isaac Herzog said manuals seized from the bodies of Hamas killers contained instructions on how to make chemical weapons.
He said they were ‘official Al Qaeda material’ which showed how to build a weapon with cyanide.
The bottle bards will make themselves sticky and tumescent over an egregious plonk that made Ben Ean taste like Pouilly Fuisse.
She’s back!

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: If the police can scour the internet for hate speech, surely they can arrest protesters calling for the eradication of a nation
On Saturday night, senior officers at Scotland Yard no doubt poured large Glennhoddles all round and congratulated themselves on a job well done.
By their own estimation, they were certainly entitled to do so. After all, a potentially volatile large pro-Palestinian demonstration had passed off ‘peacefully’ and with few arrests.
The fact that elements of the 100,000-strong crowd appeared to be calling for a holy war to wipe Israel off the face of the earth didn’t seem to trouble the police.
No laws had been broken, the cops insisted, pointing out that chants of ‘jihad’ could be interpreted in several ways.
For instance, it can be used in a religious sense to mean a personal struggle to become a better Muslim. True, but it’s a question of context. In relation to Israel, jihad is a call to arms. Are we seriously expected to believe that those people demanding ‘jihad’ at the weekend were really chanting:
What do we want?
A personal struggle to become a better Muslim.
When do we want it?
Now!
Er, perhaps not, especially as they were also singing ‘From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free’ and carrying placards reading ‘Muslim Army’, two weeks after a self-styled Muslim army had invaded Israel and slaughtered 1,400 Jews, including babies and old women, and taken 200 hostages.
The jihad enthusiasts caught on video were from Hizb ut-Tahrir, an Islamist group so extreme that they are banned in Germany and across the Muslim world, which would tend to give some indication of their motives.
And what about the pro-Hamas headbanger waving what appeared to a casual observer to be an Islamic State flag?
No, you’ve got it all wrong, said the Met. Specialist counter-terrorism officers had carefully examined the white squiggles on the black flag and concluded that they weren’t an exact match for the ISIS version. So that’s all right then.
We’re in angels and pinheads territory here. The police seem to be going out of their way to find excuses for not arresting any pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel activist, no matter how menacing their behaviour.
Once again, Scotland Yard is bending the knee to the Left-wing mob, just as it did during the Black Lives Matter madness a couple of years ago.
Met Commissioner Mark Rowley was at it again yesterday, hiding behind spurious claims that he didn’t have the legal authority to make more arrests. He was speaking after being summoned to a meeting with Home Secretary Suella Braverman to explain his softly-softly approach.
Sue Ellen and other ministers expressed outrage at the Met’s failure to detain demonstrators who they maintain were inciting terrorist violence. Immigration minister Robert Jenrick rightly pointed out:
‘Chanting jihad on the streets of London is completely reprehensible and I never want to see scenes like that. This is a highly incendiary chant which is extremely intimidating to British Jews.’
But not against the law, according to Rowley. Parliament must give the police powers before he can act.
We’ve heard this weasel cop-out from the Commissioner before. He said the same about his failure to prevent Just Stop Oil nutjobs slow marching through London and bringing traffic to a standstill.
Yet when the Government beefed up the law at his request, he refused to use it, and now JSO are lining up another round of road blocks later this month.
Rowley’s ‘my hands are tied’ schtick is disingenuous, to say the least. The statute book is brimming with ‘hate crime’ laws which could be deployed.
If the police can scour the internet to prosecute anyone using ‘inappropriate’ language online and arrest those who state publicly that no woman can have a penis, then surely they can feel the collars of pro-Palestinian protesters calling for the eradication of an entire nation.
ABC director David Anderson, who appeared before the Communications Legislation estimates hearing on Tuesday, confirmed the broadcaster had launched an internal investigation into Tom Joyner’s conduct in the Middle East after he sent a text to several hundred other journalists in Israel that read: “the story about the babies is bulls**t”.
Sure sounds like verification.
Where his views will be appreciated.
Senator Hughes blasted a 7.30 interview with Hamas terrorist Dr Basem Naim from October 17, saying she had “zero comprehension” why the ABC had platformed a prescribed terrorist and suggested the public broadcaster had “legitimised” a terrorist.
Reading the ABC written piece on the interview with the terrorist shows no sign of challenging “the claims and the misinformation they spread“.
Not by a fair margin:
Clearly something went slightly awry.
But luckily:
Their ABC sums up thus:
Noble people, defending their existence.
Similar to David Anderson.
Looks like Dutton is making the beginnings of a renewables reset. He was in Port Stephens today to meet a nascent and fast-growing opposition to Bowen’s proposed Newcastle-Port Stephens offshore wind farm, which he has approved with nil consultation of local interests apart from maritime unions and local labor/greens.
Lots of people hot under the collar about this, including tourist operators, fishing industry, surfers, recreational boaters and yachtsmen, whale and dolphin protection groups. Funnily enough, the coal, shipping and port industries are silent at present.
Illawarra coastal interests have had the same non-consultation, and the two are presently forming a coalition.

Sharri Markson has put the rest of the Australian corporate media to shame.
Having unfortunately visited Twitter where I had a look at an Israeli account, some hamas apologist had replied to a video of the hospital carpark fire with an unblurred photo of the six dead toddlers and babies on a gurney.
It was real.
Much carry on about the hospital carpark deaths, too many, but not 500, and not at the hands of Israel.
Sloppy terminology for sure. Perhaps the geniuses of the media felt themselves fully informed by the geniuses of the crack Police Public Relations Squad.
Many old fashioned actions would allow the operator to un-cock, eg by holding the hammer or cocking piece, and releasing the trigger then letting the hammer to half-cock or the cocking piece to a safety notch.
At the end of it, the firing pin is resting on the round and any blow on the hammer or cocking piece could fire it.
If it were a rifle with the stock were removed, that cocking piece could be the most likely landing point for the dropped barrelled action. And if the bits were in a shopping bag, the likely result of an uninformed person picking it up wrongly is that the big bits fall out.
Very dangerous indeed.

Gaza hasn’t been occupied since 2005.
Did the ABC point that out?
In the meantime, the people of Gaza could have chosen peaceful co-existence which would eventually have seen security measures such as control of border crossings, air and sea space which Israel was authorised to use by the Oslo Accords relaxed.
Instead, the Gazans elected Hamas to govern them and Hamas immediately adopted an aggressive posture towards Israel. This prompted many Palestinians who did not support Hamas and could see the writing on the wall to leave Gaza.
Did the ABC report that?
Please explain. I understood sea breeze (in what I think is your neck of the woods) were always SW.

“ABC Middle East correspondent Tom Joyner will no longer report from Israel and he will not be returning to the war zone following the controversial comments he made refuting claims babies had been beheaded by Hamas terrorists.”
Joyner should have been sacked. But, as we all know, it’s their ABC, and it’s out of control. David Anderson has said today he won’t apologise to Heston Russell, just like the broadcaster never apologised to the late Cardinal George Pell, and hasn’t apologised to Christian Porter, or Alan Tudge, or Andrew Laming and numerous others, despite forking dosh in defamation cases.
A few months ago C.L. made the very accurate comment that whilst the ABC is shedding viewers, and I believe is rapidly losing any remaining relevance and goodwill among ordinary Australians, it is becoming more menacing and more malevolent by the day. It operates like the cult of Scientology, and like Scientology it engages in “fair game”, it deliberately targets particular individuals due to their politics, opinions, religion and so on. C.L. is right, I believe it is an organisation that is becoming more dangerous by the day, and any future Coalition government must find a spine to cut the dosh to the ABC. The only way it will reined in is by suffocating it financially.
Cut the ABC dosh. It no longer represent us ordinary Australians, instead it spits in our faces.

Listened to this today
Mikhaila Peterson, Israel/Palestine.
For the Palestinian side was Norman Finkelstein who spent most of his time talking as if to primary school children while adroitly avoiding some very important facts.
Trots out the “Gaza. Is. The. Worlds. Largest. Concentration. Camp. Ever” meme, which basically tries to compare Jews to Nazis.
He then rounds it off by offering a complete justification for Oct 7.
His mentor is Noam Chomsky, which says it all.
UN staff celebrate Hamas massacre
mUnter. I know you’re reading this.
Divert from Malmo to one of the border kibbutzes, there’s a lad.
But be sure to watch that video first. All of it.
No, of course not.
Gaza is Trisenbergian – it has not been occupied for 22 years; it is an open air prison camp; AND it is being invaded.
Do catch up.
I’ve cried a last over the last two weeks, this has made me sob tonight. I don’t think people realise that what happened on October 7 2023 was a full blown invasion of southern Israel.

As for that Islamist weasel Ed Husic (someone I’ve long thought was always a weasel), when he smugly talks about “collective punishment” he’s engaging in a deliberate blood libel against Jews and Israel. Such a libel compares Israel to Nazi Germany, which did engage in “collective punishment”. It is a deliberate smear and Ed Weasel Husic is a f*cking Islamist disgrace. But he’s the son of Bosnian Muslims, and we know what side they fought on in World War II, just ask Balkan Jews and Serbs.
Re the Newcastle-Port Stephens offshore wind farm, which looks like being joined by an Illawarra version.
Anyone flying into north Germany now can see scores of these turbines stuck in the offshore region there. Mighty ugly they look too. When there last I researched them a little and apparently the government was looking at removing them as they weren’t very effective.
Strange Bowen and Co aren’t installing winf farms off Bondi and off Melbourne…
This one seems too incredible by far and I would welcome any further insight.

Do they have editors any more?
@calli 7:05 …
A great place to go in grim times. Mel Brooks has my huge respect. Another one like that I love is “Gay Niggers from Outer Space” … back before we hit hit with Big Gag… and all got torn to pieces once again ..

Any movie with Slim Pickens in it is worth watching.
Offshore wind factories should start at Manly and run up the coast to Palm Beach.
Zali Steggall and Sophie Scamps would be sooooooo pleased.
And the comments on that MP podcast are being bombed by pro Finkelstein people.
Do they have editors any more?
One part low intellect.
One part incredibly poorly read.
One part group think.
Mix well & you have your member of the corporate media.
Always found it ironic, to say the least, that both Norman Finkelstein’s parents were Holocaust survivors.
@Bruce of Newcastle 7:44
My sentiments entirely !! Most of the time reality is too grim and too poorly grasped.
Fiction becomes a Palette upon which we may mix our paint and reflect a bit … and go on to , maybe maintain a a more objective perspective ..
As to Mr Pickens ? Barely does a day go by …. Well you know where i am going with this …
“Gentlemen. You can’t fight in here. This is the War Room!”
Idiots don’t listen to the words of their own platutudes. In what prison or concentration camp could the inmates gain all that military equipment, construct that complex warfare tunnel system, and plan and execute that evil rampage.
Um, Mark, wasn’t your hump on the other side?
Oh never mind!
Just wow.
Mixed into the base of a post-modern education and garnished with a twist of arrogance.
Ms Wilkinson’s costs claim will be in court for the first time on November 4, while the defamation trial is set to begin on November 24 and run for about four weeks.
If ever there were people deserving of years of nervous discomfort and money problems, it is the screaching evil and deceitful mob around the Brittany incident who attempted to destroy the life of Bruce Lehrman.
I hope he has the strength to persue them all for years, and why not, they tried to destroy him and would have but for the ego of this dreadful harpie.
There are so many more to come too, including the DPP himself.
Will someone drop the Labor party into the mix, to deflect or dilute, Albo and his 3 witches?
May they all fear for the rest of their lives that the spectre of justice is in a shadow nearby, or on the tip of the tongue of one of them who has had enough and wants to lower their burden.
A curse on them all, no peace, ever.
The shadenfreude comes with joy, at their troubles.
It was when they did that show “Mark Steyn Mug”. They send you a list of questions to which he replied that he was happy to go into the studio and answer live on air. They demurred, only being interested in a written response that they can torment into the required narrative. He declined. He got a prominent space in the Australian that week to do a rebuttal which worked out poorly for Liz Jackson, the host at the time. Slapped she was.
@ Bruce of Newcastle … 7:05
“Oh never mind!” I never pass by a comment of yours and pay it scant attention ..

J’ism is just another area poorly served by falling into the university sector. A side serve of Bacon is in no one’s interests. Prof Mark Kenny is just embarrassing.
This too all
… when I was with my shrink … my best exploratory Literary reference was Moby Dick and then only page one .. the rest was an outrageously funny story about a big fish that got away. Great by way of precis.. BUT
None of this TL,DR … you gotta read the whole thing…
Really? Yet we have Aussies over there for holidays…now caught up in the war.
Some “Butlins”.
Kenny on turdball’s folly, Snowy 2 where the cost is now $23 billion and rising. That would have built about 12000 MW of nukes which is what NSW needs. Turdball should join joe on that ant nest.
Glorious!
Haven’t seen that one before. The Goodies vs Marty Feldman in serious action!

There is nothing like a Jew hating Jew.

When I studied J’ism at Curtain Uni in the 90s (or was it still WAIT at that point ? ) .. The Head of Dept would have beaten us like a ginger step child for anything that was , sloppy, poorly sourced …or far far worse …. lacking in objectivity. “No one Cares what you think ~slap~ “
The Palestinians arent too popular with this Arab. Watch to the end.

It’s a disgusting comparison.

Sadly In Mirrabooka we have no Possums … But we do have the Chitty Chiity ..( and in alarming abundance ) also the Wardung; a happy profusion, I can hear them sing as I type .. and the Koolbardie … but not so often.
When I was in Mundaring … Possums aplenty….
You are Blessed …
oh, I see … when was that?
did you copy the posts?
Too all..
Also on the subject of Fiction. I loathe Hollywood bloodbath goulish diversions. I wont view anything with an American accent. They always manage to slip in some “POZ” They are not ennobling, they are not instructive , they give no respite. I am always on the look out for something dignified ..
This is one I am into recently and some of you may enjoy it …
Randall And Hopkirk (Deceased)
HTH ..
Can we pick a quiet time (say, Christmas Eve), set fire to it and claim the insurance?
Mark – I did have a Chitty friend down in the reserve about 300m from the Cafe. He’d see me arrive, and would accept tiny morsels of mince thrown into the air. Haven’t been down that way for a few months though, so I don’t know how he’s hanging. The same area has thornbills and fantails, it’s a nice place.
The brushtail lady is well aware of the rules, which is bread then a carrot. The carrot is good for teeth cleaning.
This bitch on Q&A wore a palli scarf, castigated no voters, compared white Australia to Israel as oppressors and so forth. She’s the head of get Up and should fuk off to pallistone.
On a less sombre note, one of Cronkite’s cute owls.
It’s worth a try. I’ll talk to Richo.
There were only 14 or 15 punters waving online-bought Pali flags, and who blocked the road to Pine Gap the other day before the local jacks unceremoniously ejected them from the roadway and (apparently) told them ‘If you want water, there’s some back at Alice Springs’.
However, the reliable mail is that fully two thirds of them were off-duty staff (including a number of doctors) at the Alice Springs Hospital, a known hotbed of softcockery activism.
It’s easy to be an activist when you’re half a world away from actual danger.
@Bruce of Newcastle 9:11
We may be relating and crossed purposes … the”Chitty Chitty” is the Willy Wagtail .. The Idea of having a “totem” (no real word for it but it might convey the sense) .. animal was something a very dear and sadly less communicative friend turned me onto. And He said …now the Chittty Chitty will inspire you ..
I know to the more cynical ..having an Aboriginal Elder in my Life that I Loved and respected might seem like I am Being all “Noble Savage” and cringingly patronizing.
Think what you will ..
But Old Mate promised me He would “show me a thing or two ……. ”
and He has …
Mark – Yes. Another Cat helped me out. I have indeed had a fairly friendly Willy Wagtail. I can’t recall how it happened, but we got to be friendly down at the reserve. I would toss tiny bits of mince in the air and he’d catch and eat them. He’d follow me for a fair distance going from bush to bush, it was a fine thing.
Winston I think has Willy Wagtails. Sadly I can’t because I have a whole tribe of noisy miners who are ridiculously friendly towards me but not to other small birds.
@Bruce of Newcastle … watch the Chitty Chitty raise his little wings to spook insects from the grass so as He doesnt have to bend down to gobble them up…
But watch Him also thread so close to a grazing …say horse… and almost find Himself enmeshed in those thoughtless teeth, but so close does He go . His wings can remain furled and he flits and feasts none the less …
an Economy of Energy ..
@Bruce of Newcastle…
Throwing mince for the Chitty Chitty ???!! I would never have dreampt such a thing conceivable …
So much to surprise and delight us? No ?
Mark – The grey fantails are well worth watching too. Similar style as the wagtails, but more in scrub than the grassland.
I’m not a twitcher, instead I run Cafe Bruce. The rules are to take food from the hand or starve. I get a lot of customers who choose the former option!

From the Bangkok Post today in the Airport Novotel I read that Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin is urging Thai workers in Israel to return home amid a possible escalation in the war against Hamas. It has been little recognised that around 30,000 Thai workers, mostly male labourers, but also female domestics, have been currently working in Israel. The Thai government has capacity to repatriate 800 per day, 3000 have already returned, and 8500 are registered to return. However Israeli employers are holding wages payments until Nov 10th, which the Thai government are trying to get stopped and payments made on regular dates as usual. They are negotiating this with Israel via diplomatsthey, as poorer workers are loathe to return without their full wages. The involvement of Thai Nationals in this conflict, where attention has been on Western hostages, has received little press coverage, yet large numbers are involved, more than from any other Asian nation. The Thais are currently negotiating with Hammas through various channels for the return of 19 Thai laborers held hostage during Oct 7th as they were working on a site near Gaza. Already 30 Thais have died in this conflict, and 18 have been injured.
We still do not know the fates of the Thai hostages, says Mr. Stretha. He also announced an amnesty for the return of undocumented Thai workers who fear arrest if they are listed to go home. They still can find jobs here in our homeland, and the Thai government will try our best to take care of them, he said.

Boy, Cohenite, I’m open to the idea of a cute owl (indeed my nephew’s wife competes in that space), but I am struggling to see one in that picture behind all the silicone…
My sister was going to be in a Cadbury commercial – it was filmed – and then JSM came along and we never saw the ad.
Eric H-
Classic hot summer pattern here is slight easterly at sunrise, doldrums and heating up, then sea moderate gusty breeze sometime from 2-3 PM… sometimes not, if there’s a trough down the coast or thunderstorm brewing.
The South-west sea breeze is more an ocean air stream from friggin Antarctica, haunts us in August and Sept.
Last few years- decade, really- we’ve had a straight southerly, even SSEasterly, which is uite steady and nice, get that Argentinian hot sun-cold air combo.
Having mapped all this out- for the corner of a very flat bit of the continent, there is surprising microclimates and mini-zephyrs. I was down the road just another (checks notes) 12km one stinker having a chat to a bloke who does fabrication, and he says “ah, here’s the sea breeze”. I thought about it, and it was a straight easterly, and I said, what, the inland sea? But yep, you can smell the kelp from Gracetown. Uncanny. Buggery knows what route it followed, there’s not exactly glen lines in this landscape. Inversion?
You’d had to drag me into a literary festival by the hair. No way I’d go voluntarily.
I am not an ‘aspiring author’. I might one day write a memoir but hardly a novel, I suspect that may not be my forte, and should it turn out to be, then it won’t be enhanced by attendance at a luvvies love-in.
I do write occasional pieces just for the joy of recording something worthwhile, and also because I have something to say about the Arthurian legends and their origin.
My old copy chief when I was an advertising copywriter said never write unless you have something to say. Wise advice.
who said the other day Ryan Adams was doing shows here?
well, dammit, no tickets left in Melb … both shows
some in Adelaide … possibly a trip to catch up with mates at the same time?
prolly wont happen
missed out again !!
Old copy chief was a journalist of the Old School, who was in ads for the money, his kids school fees etc.
He was a great bloke and very helpful to an unschooled girl from Sydney’s West.
He hired me, so he wanted to see me thrive.
I’ve met areff, who is a similar Old School journo. Bless them all. 🙂
In other news from the Bangkok Post, ‘Wild jumpo attacks, kills village chief’.
One has to feel sorry for the chief, who was badly mauled by a mother with a calf during a foray the group of elephants had made onto a precious palm plantation, where they did a lot of damage seeking food, so it’s a habitat issue where sympathies must also go to the elephants. A group of locals tried to chase them off, but not before the chief was badly injured. He died on the way to hospital. This was in Surat Thani, in the Tha Chana district, yesterday.
Other people’s lives.
Forgive my typing errors. Ouzo time here, a lovely evening drink, with water.
We are polishing off the bottle before tomorrow morning’s flight to Sydney.
That were me, MT
…the Ryan Adams I dig is the extended wig-out with The Cardinals. This tour is him solo… which will still be intense, but as i get older i’m finding it harder to fall under the spell unless the lights are down, the volume up and the drinks in plenty.

Hairy watching the Thai boxing on the TV, which they do to music! Great theatre, he says. He’s chosen that in preference either Al Jazeera or CNN which are the only news shows on offer in English.
In the Bangkok Post I read the tale of a young American boy who has two million followers for his aim to become a top Thai Boxer. He has a go fund me page for a trip here, and the Thai people are right behind him. Come and stay for a year and be made a champion, they applaud. Thai boxing is very big here. The guy on stage just wins a round and smiles. He’s a wirey little chap with a deep blue mouthguard on his upper teeth. Looks like a space invader. Two commentators going wild, nodding at each other’s comments.
Gosh, Matrix. Didn’t realise I was drinking science.
That’s exactly how it works with water, and very nice it is too.

Much and all as I profoundly disapprove if you drinking Ouzo . a profoundly toxic substance that tastes disgusting …and wonder why a person of your merit and wide experience wouldnt be drinking ?ubrówka (ice cold straight from the freezer) or something much healthier, doubtless you have your reasons ..
I really love your written meanderings. Not so much as I find them compelling in them selves , though , sometimes I do, I just love it that you “Go Hard ” and tell us all about yourself . OK sometimes it might be a bit self indulgent .. sometimes a little prolix .
But you will always find a ready ear from me.

Ryan Adam’s one of a kind, fer sure. Saw him in Freo, must have been fifteen years ago, stood on stage and played and sang effortlessly for what must have been three hours, with band.
The “star gets heavy with wannabes backstage” was hardly a scandal, only got oxygen because of hashtag world… but to all accounts he was a sh*thead husband to Mandy Moore, who may have arguably had stars in her eyes getting led to the altar, but she’s aged into quite a babe with a genuine career, choreographing the pieces for La La Land fillum amongst other interesting stuff.
I reckon, like many mercurial creatives, he’s an autist prone to self-indulgence. His best stuff, and his best behaviour, is when he has a band around him. Whiskeytown told him to shove it, the Cardinals took ten years to tell him where to get off, the Cold Roses have gone and come back… I’d see him if he bought the fellas along with him, but not this time.
Swore to not end up like a Springsteen fanboi, going to see the same band every time no matter what- instead pledging to using the money and babysitter options to get back doing what first got me deep in the scene, which is going to see random cheap new acts at borderline venues. You Am I are playing at my local before Christmas… I love them dearly, but I have said no!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS_Q6cBMbyc
Easy, tiger
Tim Rogers is another one-off. Borderline toss-off, maybe, but for decades he made real connections out of unlikely ingredients.
And bugger me, his band can play.
There’s a line in a song, “Damn Songs”, which is about Tim’s favourite subject, which is the terrifying balancing act of opening a vein to let off the pressure, needing a crowd to hold him but not indulge him- being vulnerable to the poison of pop fizz.
“Sometimes I wake up screaming-
thinking I’ve got it all figured out”
I reckon that’s where he’s at, he’s actually quite content with where he’s at, and inevitably his songwriting has faded from the seat-of-the-pants vitality it once had.

And when I saw Cash …I was more in the mind of this sort of thing… but each to our own ..
