winter's day (5jul23)

8am: weak sunlight is peaks over our hill to the thump of the generator is pumping amps into the batteries. Inside the laundry tub swishes away dirt & damp, from jeans & woollies. 
The fire seems to burn constamtly now & the house feels suitably toasty & comforting. the pets know this & huddle together close by. Peace o' the land.
I am free of work & parenting duties & feel extra happy & light on my feet. I hope to restore my soil via small scale travel. I watch Sam Holmes coastal sailing Spain, & as today clears bright & sunny  i have opened my doors to sail camping with Lurgy.  I cannot think of anything more enjoyable than coffee, a radio & good book while at a quiet anchorage.

9am: the three travellers (charlie, naomi, julie) are delayed at the airport in Sydney. Two loads of washing are out, the fire heats dish washing water, the Royal has been unwrapped and soon I will "go ashore for provisions". 

The hourly updates turned belly up at midmorning, there was a pile of dirty dishes, then grocery shopping. After lunch I fitted fuel & air filters to the Land Rover.

Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
