Not that it is of any consequence, a minor far right federal Australian politician has registered a party called “Trumpet for Patriots”. Bah hahaha. Firstly, it is a remarkably bad play on words and secondly, Australia is a ‘common-wealth’ so the concept of being a patriot is foreign to us.

Here in S.E. Queensland, it is still damp underfoot and a bit breezy.

There is a medication called telmisartan. My phone just read it as “tell me, satan …”

Catching up on Apple’s excellent Asimovian “Foundations” series.

I was going to say something about my new excellent Bissell upright vacuum cleaner and how much force is required to push the crevice wand into its correct position but then I thought I would not.

Thought I had found a new geodisaster movie - “Superfire” on Prime but it turned out to be BH90210 with matches.

Watching “The Silo” on Apple tv. On my tv, the lighting of the series is so dark, it might as well be a radio play. Other than that it is good.

What’s it called when a rich person gets indigestion? High-status hernia.

I think the President may have hypercarotenemia.

I like quirky hotels. The young ladies at reception were very helpful in their frilly bright pink chintzy pyjamas.

I can recommend the 2010 film “South Solitary” on Netflix. Miranda Otto.

Ten fav tv of all timeshows any order. Hogan’s Heroes, Blakes 7, Remington Steele, The Professionals, Dempsey and Makepeace, Star Trek, A Country Practice, Little House on the Prairie, Antique Roadshow, and, Spooks May change next week. 🤓

This fungus was kinda cool to see on the trunk of my very large 15 year old calestamon tree but apparently a sign of its age and poor health. Sadly I had the tree taken out. Now deciding on what to plant in place. Another calestamon or mock orange?

My method for booking a hotel is to find the highest priced hotel closest to what I want to do then look for the closest 3-4 star hotels to that one. 😎🛫

Blake's 7 news! In case you missed it, there's a blu-ray of Blake's 7 Series 1 (A?) due for release on 11 November, in the style of the Doctor Who blu-ray collections. #Blakes7

I am likely behind the times but I recently enjoyed the movies, “The Holdovers”, “Dave’s Bank” and “The Kingsmen”.

A 76 yo man yesterday told me in detail about his urological condition. Only probem was it was not in the clinic but I was in his Uber.

I loved the Paris Opening Ceremony! Inventive, unique, beautiful, egalitarian! Never expected anything less from France. 🇫🇷

“The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” on Prime is a real hoot of a movie based on real events.

I can recommend the 2014 film, “A Most Wanted Man” with the late, great, Philip Seymour Hoffman. It is a an espionage thriller based on the John Le Carré novel. Noir influence from Hamburg. Currently on Netflix.

About time too. It’s well known that chickens and ducks are the most irresponsible pet owners.

My favourite Fuzzy-Felt birthday card. 🤓

Buddhist monastery monument, Vietnam.

Why do skeletons never fight? They don’t have the guts.

Arrive at hospital clinic this morning to be greeted by this. And the building is flooded in one corner and the water is off and my receptionist is away and …

I can recommend “Miss Sloane” for a great political-psychological drama. It’s on Netflix. Great cast.

One of the first things I will do when I retire is rid my life of microsoft 365. The updates are the bane of my life. For example, why would my word quick access toolbar suddenly disappear along with the create envelope dialogue box after the latest update?

Looking at a tree to have removed. Pulled on a palm frond caught in a branch. Down falls a ring-tailed possum who, thinking my leg was a tree trunk (not unreasonable) grabbed hold. It must have been sleeping because I was able to gently scoop it off my leg and it toddled off back to said tree.

From someone on Twitter.

I hope I have almost finished watching “Lost”.
