Welcome to Catalogue 215 . Australia Day 2019 has come and gone with all the attendant celebrations along with a fair share of bleating and chest beating. It’s a shame that the time and energy spent disputing a date can derail us from the real job at hand and that is giving our indigenous brothers a hand up. I’d rather we spent our energies in...

Welcome to Catalogue 211, Sep 2018. Apologies for missing the last one (Aug) but we’d taken ourselves to Canada and the US.

A beautiful town Oswego, right on...

Winter is coming!! As Catalogue 209 hits the streets/airwaves we have a nice little cooling down here in Perth after a long hot summer. Heavy rain the other day was a welcome respite and does wonders for Hyde Park lake/s and Jo’s gardens. But we’re in for a dry winter. Poor old farmers, can’t take a trick. In WA, dry seeding is the best many ...

Welcome to Catalogue 208, May 2018. This is my “Post ANZAC Day” list and it is a time of great remembrance. For the first time in my long life I didn’t participate in anything this year.

Here we are in 2018 with the first list of the year, Catalogue #206. After a hectic December where we entertained son Toby and his family from the wilds of Canada and witnessed daughter Georgia’s memorable wedding to the redoubtable John Carter (JC).
