Another good line-up for us to enjoy the week-end. I think I’ll revisit, “there was a soldier a Scottish soldier, who soldiered far away”. I was hoping for a ‘yes’ vote. It wasn’t to be. “The fear of change”.

Thanked Bill for his bigoted comment on that blog Gez, wondered if he had the sticker on the back of the car.

Excellent list. My second daughter finished her HSC exams and started work the next day. Hope yours have a few weeks off.

She busy with resumes for various places at the moment as well as sorting out the social calender for the next few weeks. Three weeks before the HSC, killer start for her. As long as she get into the Art school of her choice she’ll be happy,. Well that and hung in ArtExpress (good chance there).

Don’t like Morrisey much, thought he was over rated but Steely Dan and Madness, big fan. Thanks again Ace.

A lot of Morriseys stuff is quite depressing but I don’t mind this latest Album. Thought you might like the Steely Dan..
