Has it been about a month? It feels like I have never lived any other way. Restricted. !! How much is it a Mind thing and how much is it Real.
It is a perpetual life of monotony and repetition. It is not nice to be told what to do I think I am old enough to be trusted to do the right thing.

Bob Hawke in October 1983 introduced one of the first Medicare cards. Then, in 1987, he campaigned for a national ID Card “ The Australia Card. “ The backlash against it was enormous.
The average Australian was outraged. There was no way on this Earth that Aussies would accept a card that contained all of their personal information – from Medical details to driver’s license. It was not going to happen.
We may have accepted a Medicare Card but something that fundamentally breached our privacy and allowed Data to be collected by the Government on its own Citizens?
Forget it.
Yet, here we are today, in 2020, flocking en masse to sign up for something that is potentially going to make the Australia Card look like something that you pick up in a cornflakes packet.

We've been best mates for over 100 years but the bromance seems to be waning. Have we grown up? Or simply grown apart?
We fought together as ANZACs, died together as ANZACs, wept and laughed together in the trenches and the horror of war.
We patted each other on the back for being Antipodeans and couldn't really understand what all the fuss was about for those living “ up north “. For us, we were proud to be " far from the madding crowds." During this virus disaster, our Geographic isolation has been our great advantage.
I read an interesting post recently and wanted to share it. The magical number 40. I could not help but think of Douglas Adams, author of “ The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy “ and his famous answer to the question of what is the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything? “
And of course, Peking Duck and Cricket. You will have to read more to get the connection.
42, A number, selected at random and often debated through social media. Why 42? Was it something that Douglas Adams plucked from the air over a glass of red? Was it a number he came up with after midnight ponderings and hand wringing, mental anguish and soul searching? Or is it about Cricket and Peking Duck?
This morning I got up and 5.45 am and went out to the front of my house. I am a widow of a Royal Naval person who was a member of the forces that helped save us from goodness only know what fate. I had Uncles who served in the
Army . I feel that Anzac Day is a Day when we can honour those men.
When I think of ANZAC Day I think of my late Great Granpa.

The upcoming ANZAC Day is cancelled. Again.
When we stand at Dawn on the morning of 25 April at our front doors I wonder: are we saluting our fallen heroes or are we saluting our fallen unity?
I will stand, alone, at my front door and salute the men that fought and died so that I could stand alone to die alone and weep ALONE that, after over 100 years we FORGOT.
Malcolm Turnbull, by trying to destroy decent people, destroyed what little integrity he had left. His venom has hurt no one but himself. The ABC, by supporting his hatred, has highlighted their disregard for Australia and Australians.
It has been an extraordinary display of childish, nasty and incredibly vicious tendencies from a man who was leading our Nation for no other reason than we allowed him to be the schoolyard bully. Malcolm - putting the TURD and BULL shit into the spotlight.
One day, he may reflect on this book and its release and wonder why the hell he did it. Or is he so delusional that he still thinks that he was right?

I cannot help but think of the great poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow when I consider the world today. Paul Revere, that famous Patriot who rode so valiantly to warn of the impending attack by the then enemy. The British.
Yet today, we are faced with a far greater enemy and this enemy is attacking with much more vigour and cunning.
And it all comes down to money. The fiat petrodollar. Where Paul Revere was a Silversmith, it is gold that today may be our salvation – but it still requires a rider of enormous stamina and bravery to bring us all to that place we wish to call home. And so I will tell you a story about money. Because it is ALWAYS about money. Just with the British in the War of Independence, everything is always about money.
The petrodollar is any U.S. dollar paid to oil-exporting countries in exchange for oil. The dollar is the preeminent global currency. As a result, all international transactions, including oil, are priced in dollars. Oil-exporting nations must receive dollars for their exports, not their own currency.
President Trump has always been keen to return to the Gold standard. He said:
“Bringing back the gold standard would be very hard to do—but boy, would it be wonderful. We’d have a standard on which to base our money.”
John Steinbeck wrote a book back in the 1960’s about when a man is discontent about something that is so important to him, he changes into a different man, looks at things differently, says new words.
We have entered that winter of discontent.
