Welcome to Catalogue #216 of March 2019. Whilst it’s only a short list this time, there are some memorable titles on it.

The loss of life is always worrying especially losing thousand...

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 #213 November 2018. As we head into our second month of ‘remembrance’ (along with April), we prepare for the 100th anniversary of the end of the great carnage that was WW1. On 11 November 2018 we pause to remember those thousands of diggers who gave their lives in the cause of the British Empire. We lost around 60,000 KI...

Welcome to Catalogue 211, Sep 2018. Apologies for missing the last one (Aug) but we’d taken ourselves to Canada and the US. Spent most of the time playing with grand kids and watching them rush about playing baseball. What fun!! Also got the chance to ‘inspect’ Toby’s university at Oswego (State Uni of NY). 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. Watching it all unfold on TV was a new experience. Must admit I was a bit overcome to see my mates swinging down the Terrace in sandy berets, where I would u...
