politics

That probably means a lot of rum has been consumed by the electorate celebrating or drowning sorrows.

Personally, I find politicians irritating and politics, for the most part, boring. And now we’re on our, let’s see…fifth,is it?Sixth? Prime Minister in eight years. If they keep this up, it could well replace Australian football as the national sport!

I’ve started reading that much-touted newly-published Harper Lee book. The library has a loooong waiting list for it and I’m struggling to finish it. I think I’ll take it back to the library and maybe have another whack at it when I can concentrate. So far, it doesn’t feel “right.” Ms Lee is on record as saying she would not publish this [the first ] version of “Mocking bird” and I don’t have an argument there.
