Today is AusMusic T-Shirt Day, which raises money for Support Act, because support for Australian music is in such decline that it needs a charity to help.

Had a scheduled medical procedure for today. Couldn’t be done on time in the public hospital so I was transfered to a nearby private hospital, anaesthesia, surgery, recovery, it didn’t cost me a cent, not even for parking. Universal health care Australian style. I feel sorry for my American friends.
