One morning, in hospital, a staff member wore the same gloves to clean the toilet and to clean my table, including picking up my water glass by the rim.

I was unable to do things for myself, I had to trust the staff, but I couldn’t.

There was no way to manage this situation.

Yesterday I saw the grave of Anne Brontë.

She rests at the foot of a castle, in the yard of an old church, overlooking the North Sea.

Apart from a small sign there is no tourist hype.

There was one small bunch of flowers leaning against her stone, and me, and a cool sea breeze, and peace.

Because I’m Australian there were three surgeons contributing, and zero cost to me. I paid for two bottles of eye drops and was fed more chicken sandwiches than the value of those medicines.

Just that we’d let the US down by not sending ships we don’t have to perform impossible tasks on the other side of the planet. In a war we weren’t informed about.

The president of the US blatantly insulted Australia yesterday.

Albanese should be summoning the US diplomacy muppet and asking them to explain.

I’d be blind without my donated corneas.

I can’t see a single reason not to agree to organ donation.

Taking my daily constitutional, suitably attired in black jeans shorts and a t shirt. Super fit bloke comes jogging the other way at an alarming rate, proper athletic attire, panting and spraying sweat like a barbarian, and I didn’t trip him on the way past, because I’m a gentleman.

So there’s a survey that tells us the majority of us are living in fear of invasion by another nation.

Do you believe we’re at risk of invasion?

If so, by which country?

And why?

Australian PM Albanese leapt, apparently without thought, to vocally support the US bombing Iran. A 63 year old, in politics, who has witnessed US wars even more closely than most. He should have known better.

The US has since shat on Australia for not having ships ready to sail around the world to do the impossible.

Albanese is now calling for an end to this war.

Dude needs to learn to say nothing when he lacks the courage to say the right thing.

The journalists who spent time and energy learning Banksy’s identity, then published the details, suck.

They suck.

They could have spent that time and energy exposing corrupt billionaires and politicians.

They could have minded their business and let us continue to enjoy the fun of not knowing.

Those journalists are conscience free, romance free.

They suck.

About 3 a.m. I received mail informing me an old friend died.

At 9 a.m. I was still awake, thinking about how to reply to his widow. I think my sleepless night led to finding the right words, as right as words can ever be.

I’ll see you in Birdland Casey.

Last night a relative was on the phone, asking for some help. They decided to lighten the mood by telling me a racist joke.

I’m trying to separate the help they need from their ignorance, it’s not my place to judge who is “worthy”. Nerves can make people say stupid things.

I’ll help them, but I don’t really want to be around them.

The Labor premier of SA supporting censorship is a long road from Don Dunstan.

no aircon

I guarantee not one Victorian state politician drove to work in a car without aircon, since 1980.

I’m all for booing the PM at sporting events, but booing the PM at a memorial for a mass shooting is just gross.

It’s remarkable how rapidly empathy and sympathy can be lost.

Watching Australian politicians bragging about manufacturing arms is sickening. Even if they believe they have to do it, celebrating death machinery is appalling behaviour. Making missiles should be grim, unhappy work.
