What’s going on with email is simply INSANE. I’m receiving missives like this: and you can see by the scroll-bar how much longer they are. Suddenly I’ve absolutely HAD IT with WordPress. I actually pay for my site, and yet they can’t be bothered letting a paying customer know what’s happening. Fuck ’em. I shall … Continue reading I’m not coping

I am full of admiration for Mark Carney, after watching a video of the speech he gave at Davos a couple of weeks ago. It was an absolute ripper ! Subsequently I read of Albanese’s non-confrontational knock-back of Trump’s invitation to Australia to the body meant to replace NATO ( ! ), his ghastly “Board … Continue reading This is a very long video; but it’s very worthwhile !

It’s just taken me roughly forever to deinstall Gutenberg and replace it with the Classic Editor (SHUT UP, Amanda !). There I was, trying to open a new post and select Classic Editor to do it with, and found that I couldn’t do it.  I mean, nothing was working how it always did. Could I … Continue reading WordPress ? – DON’T ASK !!

Today I went to visit an R.A.C. place – that is, residential aged care. It was great and it was awful. Starting with the great … Nice. Not fancy schmancy, not up-market – just nice. Nothing to rave about, nor to which to take exception. Two nice little gardens. Lifts. Delightful staff. Of course, as … Continue reading and still more …

I’ve been getting stuck in to AI. Who’d ever’ve thought it ? I figured that since there was an absolute SHITLOAD of researching to be done, it might as well be done by ‘someone’ to whom research is bread-&-butter. And I was right. I’ve been discovering all the traps for young (and old) players when … Continue reading More on Ageing Living

I’ve been totally silent, I’m aware, since I arrived here in Footscray with a determination to see out my days in this little old flat. My impression of it – the flat itself – hasn’t changed: I love it dearly, with all its little-old-flat faults, because it’s what I am, at heart, used to. I … Continue reading So it’s come to this

… “and that’s the truth !” (Who remembers Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In ? – Stringer and I loved it !) Here’s a link to an article about being published. As you will deduce if you’re really clever, this subject still rankles with me, which is typically egotistical. Sighh … The article is actually about novels … Continue reading Chelsea Brown said it …

I hope all my American friends know and will be involved in this NO KINGS day. I’m looking forward to it enormously, and would give my back teeth to participate in it – anywhere !

I’m back to my bad old ways.  🙂 Moving on Wednesday, 1st October. This I have no doubt will be my last rental, and that’s not being dismal, just sensible. I mean, one not only cannot but has no wish to go through what I have over the past year again – not even one … Continue reading At long last ! – yaaaay !!

… what I’ve been occupied with. Well, my American friends would be interested, and so would my friend Hev. But the rest of you couldn’t care less, I suspect, when told. And that’s not good, because what’s currently driving my rage is going to affect all of us. I wish I could flood the Internet … Continue reading You don’t want to know …
