gutted space and time

the meaning of life

favourite Australian...

So difficult to choose an all-time favourite Australian. I could mention so many for different reasons. But I've decided to choose one man who has done so much for the less fortunate. He never stops trying to improve peoples' lives. That man is Melbourne's treasured Father Bob.

And Victorians have our own special voice...
Our voice=David Milner @DaveMilbo...
He's more than an award-winning journalist...
We have an expressive writer who senses the atmosphere of 'the room' of the everyday Victorian...
He speaks loudly in 'The Shot'+on Twitter...🙏🙏🙏

Melbourne protest...

#Melbourneprotest After seeing a number of videos of the Melbourne protest, it seems so many were there just for the 'thrill', the adrenalin rush of being in a protest...In fact, going by the signs, the protest involved various arguments...

#Melbourneprotest These insane times are really bringing out insane people...But also bringing out the very kindest people too...The Sikhs are in a class of their own, as is Melbourne's Father Bob...

Cobberwealth and more...

Father Bob knows how to nail some 'zing' into words...
'Cobberwealth'-old Aussie idiom gets a new lease on life...a universal union of friends sounds good to me...
The www hemisphere gets a makeover...
Just brilliant...

Father Bob Maguire is a long-standing, iconic Melburnian. 

The Father Bob Maguire Foundation is a Melbourne-based registered charity providing food relief, social inclusion, educational support and a range of associated services so that no one is left behind.

'nibbled to death by the ducks of sadness'...

So love Father Bob's expression...
'nibbled to death by the ducks of sadness...'
That about sums it up for me...
I'm beyond anger and refuse to sink into depression...
But I can't deny this ongoing feeling haunting me...
It's a tragic world out there, escalated by a pandemic... https://t.co/67wSHIeb21
