A Short History of Reading
..bought. More than that, if I don’t like them, I don’t have to finish them. The ultimate luxury. I have been a prolific reader and buyer of books. I buy books for myself and books for my friends with the intent, apart from giving my friends pleasure, of borrowing them sooner rather than later. It…

The Prodigal Son
..linguistic refuge for the poor sermoniser. He, (it was always ‘he’ in those days), might start off with a quotation from the Bible, but then he was on his own, unless he was guilty of plagiarising from the book of 500 Great Sermons – (Guaranteed to Rock your Congregation in the Bosom of Abraham), which,…

I remember it well (2)
..shared it is apparent from the other descriptions that we were really in different places at what may well have been different times. Occasionally I find that people have appropriated my life and memories as their own which seems to cruelly deny my existence. If someone else was leading my life what was I doing…

OB City
..is the issue. For example, I’m certain the food ‘experts’ would decry the quality of food we ate back in the ‘50s and ‘60s. (If we’d seen a sign saying ‘fat free’ back then, we would have assumed it was free fat being advertised). It’s simply that in those days we didn’t eat nearly the…

The bleeding obvious
..more people that need to be fed and watered. This is not surprising. It might, however, fill one with a general sense of foreboding for the health of the planet After a while this becomes background noise, ever present unpleasant facts that become a steady drone of something which we sensibly decide we can’t do…

Noam Chomsky
..on FaceBook and Twitter and the room sold out in hours apparently. While we awaited for the appearance on stage of the gentle professor the screens were promoting the advantages of taking up a course at the various arms of Deakin University. The VC gave a short introductory speech – and then the old man…

Let me say that it can rain in New Zealand. But, by prior arrangement with Elizabeth, not where we were. Whilst we were in Auckland in rained in the South Island – one place had Melbourne’s average annual rainfall in one day – and when were in the South Island it rained in Auckland. However…

Coffee
Mike’s Pith & Wind cont. Good coffee can make my day. Bad coffee (like bad wine) can leave me confused and depressed. I love tea. Tea is dependable. If I want to be refreshed, especially on a hot, sweaty day, tea is the drink. Iced tea? Love it. Herbal teas? Quite like some of them….
