Yup. Nu name.
Lots of big changes in my off-line life and now I’m back and feeling brand new.
I’ve made myself a new name — I needs to branch out and post about some non-facebook-marketplace stuff . . . so #HookTurn it is

I’ll be honest, even though I like a nice full strength XPA, I can see the point of a shandy
Blazing hot day where you’re already sweated a couple of litres . . . taking a break from making a wall out of volcanic rocks but know you’ve got more to do before you can knock off for the day . . .

I’ve had a Black & Tan, but never a stout shandy . . .
A new pleasure awaits me 😁

A wine drinker marrying into a shandy family . . .! It sounds like a classic Australian love story . . .!
They could at least have offered you a “Dry & Dry” 🧐

I’d either completely missed that or somehow forgotten — great shout either way.
I’m no Tony Abbott fan but I think it was very poor form for the media to call his masculinity into question because he chose to order a classic Australian beverage.

Fabulous!
I asked Mum and Dad — Mum said Grandma kept a bottle of beer in the icebox in case of visitors who might need a shandy
Dad said his Grandmother was a Methodist but his Grandpa still had a shandy on Christmas Day

She just looks quite expressive compared to some barbies you see but maybe that’s because she’s seen a lot of life

I was watching a couple of the scenes where the old newspapers guys were sitting around deciding on the headlines for the next day and I was thinking – it’s almost impossible to imagine a film this dialogue intensive now – it felt hard to keep up with them & I feel it’s because I’m out of practice!

It feels, honestly, almost quaint that anyone should care about any of the things the characters in the movie are stressing about
The President was shown to be complicit in a conspiracy?
Who cares?
Big whoop.
False news.

I can imagine myself watching it 20 years ago thinking it was a story of people of principle – heros – fighting to save #democracy
