Then again, maybe my expectations are too high. By the way, does anyone want a telly? I pensioned mine off six months ago when I realised that the screensaver on my computer accompanied by music is more interesting and entertaining than almost any show currently being broadcast.

Saturday Normal night TV. Sunday, ditto. Why do I watch Insiders on ABC 1? I know its just going to annoy me. Online. Had a bubble-bath instead of a shower. Crashed out for a few hours. (Might have had something to do with the several (smallish) glasses of port I had in the bath. Or the packet of Chocolate Royales.) Various e-mails about renewing Socialist Alliance membership, which I should've done last pension day. Did a bit more reading of Richard M. ketchum's Decisive Day. The Battle of Bunker Hill, + a little bit of note taking. Am getting capacious notes for this next chapter, and that's just the secondary sources. Have hardly started on the primary sources yet, but I wanted to have some background before I got into them. Expecting a couple in the mail and more to order. Sunday night TV. Enjoyed doco on Darwin. Loved My House in Umbria, which I wasn't going to watch. Really glad I did now. Watched a bit of the Andrew Ollie lecture, got bored with it, so went on line to have some fun on LP.

They're trying to raise funds for a pool heater after the footy club next door removed the heater from the school's 25-metre pool). Reading Menzies, I can't help thinking that he wouldn't be welcome in today's Liberal Party.

The sound was a bit shitty but with the Ukeladies as backup singers they could do <i>Mary Mac</i> and <a><i>Memories</i></a>. If you don't have any Blackeyed Susans music, do yourself a favour and buy the box set. Saw the Blackeyed Susans album launch on Friday at the Vanguard.
