Four hundred and eighty kilometers traveling through the Western Australian Wheatbelt, today, and saw three paddocks with sheep in them – everything else was wheat and cropping.

Hope slobbering after the Greens vote was worth it, Albanese, you loser.

No love lost for Birmingham at Teh Paywallian despite the efforts of Mr Kate Ellis. See if my 2c makes it through.

Jaguar Ad Parody

I preferred the one where the jaguar jumped on the freaks and chased them as they screamed.

The IMMORTAL Sarah Blasko, and “Flame trees.”
Three A.M., smokey bars, late nights, old whisky and ladies separated from the odious burden of their chastity…..

Sri Lanka bowled out for 42 by Seth Efrica in Durban. Took 83 deliveries which is second fewest in Test cricket history. Beanpole left arm paceman Marco Jansen 7/13 in 6.5 overs. Only one other instance of a 7 for inside 7 overs.

Earlier Sri Lanka had bowled SE out for 190.

Big clean out and re-fresh in the SE test team in the last 12-18 months. Good handful of young players, and they are doing well. Odds-on to make the Test Championship final. Against probably India, maybe NZ.

Russia’s Central Bank Suspends Currency Purchases.

Don’t know it this is true, but if it is, it means the Russian central bank is concerned about a run on the currency

The rubble’s in trouble?

With the Russian and Chinese economies struggling while the US economy is booming I was wondering about the possibility of Trump deciding to make it clear he is in charge and presents Putin with ultimatums about Ukraine.

Damn sheep launched herself at my back on Monday- no pain but my shoulder is skew-whiff.
Went to a physio today, got a bit pissed off at their “reply Y to confirm your booking, or fines will apply” text, so just ignored it and rocked up.
New client questionnaire wanted to know my “gender” and Panic Jab status, so just ignored it.
Not exactly fixed.
…sheep will give a better return per hectare from 200-800mm annual rainfall- but the real trap is man-hour requirements and specialty labour for wool handling.
I’d like to have some cows. Maybe in this lifetime.
