It’s very hot here — 3rd day over 40 degrees in 4 days. Last night I dreamt that I was at a school hall & Shakespeare was doing an author visit. I was very excited & amazed how young he looked. I went home & made a cardboard diorama of him surfing at the beach wearing a Hawaiian shirt & pantaloons!

#ABC I’m very VERY disappointed in Sarah Ferguson’s interview with Kamala Harris. She is so fixated on what she perceives as Biden’s inadequacy she can’t get off her dogged hobby horse.You usually do better, Sarah Ferguson.There’s devil’s advocate, and then there’s try hard wannabe iconoclast.

Ooops. It’s got to nearly 10pm and I’d forgotten to wish the world a happy birthday. So, to the world, what should we say? Many happy returns! (If this is news to you, check out the Reverend James Ussher.)

Why does the media insist on referring to Murdoch / Fox / Sky as ‘conservative’? They’re far from conservative.They’re radical rightwing in the extreme. If they’re conservative, I’m Kropotkin!

Netanyahu calls Australia’s recognition of Palestine ‘shameful’. Is there a stronger word than ‘contempt’?

Vale Allan Ahlberg, universally loved. Burglar Bill is STILL one of my favourites. And Funny Bones, and the short story Life Savings is a stroke of genius. What child hasn’t loved The Jolly Postman, Peepo, Each Peach Pear Plum and the Baby’s Catalogue? Together in the ether with Janet.

How loud do we all have to scream before the #ALP the party we overwhelmingly elected, hear us? Are the ALP STILL frightened of the opposition, who we so clearly rejected? How cowardly to masquerade as balance! Gough would be so sad.

Just saw a Christian retirement village in Cherrybrook NSW. Am assuming the residents can put their feet up and tuck into that pile of Richard Dawkins titles that have been gathering dust by the side of the bed

If this was 1939, #ALP #Labor
#LNCP but we could see on our (yet to be invented) tv what was happening to Jewish people, would we really be demonising those begging for it to stop? The world went to war to stop it. Thank goodness all our dads and uncles didn’t live to see their sacrifices trashed.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

Bridget McKenzie—making it up as she goes along. Thought she’d get a chummy ride starting off calling him Speersy. Now it’s David for pretendy gravitas. How relieved she was that it was over.

I do not believe in God. Not for a nano second. Every time I hear Americans fawning about ‘the Lord’ they sound to me like the primitive,superstitious animists they are. Gullible and childish.
But I still love Pergolesi’s “Stabat Mater”. Always will.
