Woken up to terribly sad news this morning. Soft Cell were one of a select number of bands that formed the soundtrack of my teenage years. Non Stop Erotic Cabaret was a huge album for me. So glad I got to finally see them in Sydney in April. Alas without Dave Ball.
Dave Ball, synth-pop hitmaker as one half of Soft Cell, dies aged 66

Thank you, fellow Australian citizens, for unequivocally rejecting the vile and obnoxious would-be Trump imitator, Peter Dutton. It's encouraging to know there is no space in our beautiful country for this miscreant and his particular brand of bigotry. America take note.

My daughter told me that if you search Insta using #Democrat the result is blocked as it "may contain sensitive content". However the term #Republican is not. I just tried and confirmed it. Control of social media & eradication of opposition appears to have started. This is fucking outrageous....

Decades...
It has changed a bit over the intervening years, but it hasnt lost any of its appeal.
I thoroughly enjoyed making this fantatic Christmas present from my son...

This Frangipani was a broken branch when I picked it up while camping in Sydney's Northern Beaches in late April. It then lay in my back yard for 6 months as I completely forgot about it 🤦♂️ I stuck it in a pot 2 months ago. My whole family laughed at me...
