last time I was in Melbourne, I had to go for a swim at the Harold Holt Memorial Pool, nothing screams irony like a pool named after a drowned politician, and a facility designed by devotees of the Bauhaus movement - hello Australia!

I wonder how much, in all honesty, beyond the chattering classes, of which I'm a proud member, most people will even take notice at the next election...

oh now here's another thing I didn't know about the Mare of Easttown, I was looking at Winslet's daughter and though I know I've seen you before, and her name is Angourie, which could only be Australian and she is and she has done heaps and is exceptional in this...one to watch I'd say :)

yes, Doug Anthony, who will be primarily and fondly remembered for inspiring the name of one Australia's most famous comedy/cabaret trios.

oh so David Littleproud joins the conga line of forgettable National Party Leaders returning to obscurity - well comrade, as they say, don't let the door his your arse on the way out...

just FYI there is going to be a new series of the Mare of Easttown before long, expect it will be on HBO, but I'm going to watch the first lot again to refresh my memory, it is very very good and Kate Winslet is extraordinary, as always...

I cannot answer that question.

So Trump declared the war over in Iran while l was in a Pilates class? Well now we can all get some sleep πŸ™„

We have a terrific local ALP MP, but I'm not voting for her again if @albomp.bsky.social drags us into this war. It's taken a lot to make me do this, but my loyalty has been eroded by the sheer spinelessness of a govt determined to squander a 2-term majority by sitting on its hands. #auspol

I think Zeppelin and Floyd were on different and longer artistic trajectories, and Cream were never going to be around for long, but bloody hell four brilliant records will do me...

I bought the Lion and the Cobra when it came out on vinyl, 1987, took it from the shop, unheard, to the public radio station where I was volunteering at the time and just stuck it on the turntable and said - listen to this...complete game changer...

oh you just have to see it, based loosely around the death of Will and Agnes' son Hamnet and how they both dealt with the grief and absorbtion of pain in very different ways, based on Maggie O'Farrell's stunning novel and how the play of Hamlet emerged from it all, I was in complete awe...

dear America, I know you're going through a tough time at the moment, but like all dictatorships it will eventually pass, well I hope so, but can I just say Stephen Colbert is one of your true national treasures, please look after him - from the rest of us xoxo
