Over The Bridge
As we caught the L90 bus to Collaroy today, we travelled through the federal electorates of Warringah and Mackellar. Both have been safe Liberal seats for many years, but for possibly the first time, Warringah (held by Tony Abbott) could vote next weekend for an Independent, Zali Steggall. I suspect a mate of mine who was at lunch today, who is a life-long ardent Liberal and Tony Abbott supporter, is changing his vote this time, though he hasn’t explicitly said so.… Read the rest “Over The Bridge”

One of the many highlights of the day was attending the opening of the Bald Archy Exhibition.… Read the rest “A New Day”

I’ve also just woken up from a late-afternoon nap, so maybe I’m a little bit grumpy.… Read the rest “Quieter Weekend”

Bald Archy Bright Spark
Thanks to some bright spark at the ABC who seized an opportunity when he saw one, the satirical art competition, The Bald Archy Prize has found a home in Sydney this year.
Normally on display at the QVB, the space is undergoing a renovation this year.
Instead, the exhibition opens at the ABC’s Ultimo Centre in time for the Queen’s Birthday Long Weekend.… Read the rest “Bald Archy Bright Spark”
