In July and August 2022 Wendy and I travelled to Europe and to the United Kingdom (no longer in Europe - at least politically).
This, our first European trip since the Covid-19 pandemic, began in Berlin to visit my daughter Emily, her Partner Guido, and their children, Leander and Tilda, our grandchildren there.
Part 1 of this report touched on places in Germany then on a Baltic Cruise, landing in: Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Sweden and the Netherlands. Read more...
Now, Part 2 takes place in northern France. Part 3, yet to come, takes place in England and Scotland.
1967 is in the news this week as it is 50 years since one of the few referendums, since the Federation of Australia in 1901, to successfully lead to an amendment to our Constitution. In this case it was to remove references to 'aboriginal natives' and 'aboriginal people'.
It has been widely claimed that these changes enabled Aboriginal Australians to vote for the first time but this is nonsense.
Yet it was ground breaking in other ways.
Back in 2015 a number of friends and acquaintances told me that Climate Change is a myth.
Half a decade on and some still hold that view. So here I've republished a slightly longer version of the same article.
Obviously the doubters are talking about 'Anthropogenic Global Warming', not disclaiming actual changes to the climate. For those of us of a 'certain age' our own experience is sufficient to be quite sure of that the climate is continuously changing. During our lifetimes the climate has been anything but constant. Else what is drought and flood relief about? And the ski seasons have definitely been variable.
