Today I learnt: For the Sci-Fi Horror film 'Event Horizon' Sam Neill requested that the Australian flag on his character's uniform remove the Union Flag from the corner & for it to be replacedwith the Aboriginal flag, the way he thought it should look in 2047.

#PrimeMinister @jacindaardern resigned today. I am not surprised nor do I blame her. Her treatment, the pile on, in the last few months has been disgraceful and embarrassing. All the bullies, the misogynists, the aggrieved. She deserved so much better. A great leader. Thanks PM!

HEARTSORE today. My dear little friend Charlie the Duck died this week, in my absence. I am v sad. Such an affectionate little thing and I was very fond of her . A fair age for a duck- 9 or 10 . I didn’t think she’d make another winter. Ah well. Sweet sorrow. Sing Charlie...
