a blimp for a museum?...

Rarely do I post politically connected news...
There's enough around...
But this particular news must be the weirdest...

This is one of those songs that just may bring you to tears...
You may not understand the words
and yet
so strangely moving...

change of plan...

PASSING THOUGHT: Today's vision's changed...The weather's grumbly; my plans to dust are shelved. My good intentions to suffer yet another grumpy phonecall to the bank to close my account have melted; my phone's out of charge. So I'll have to settle for reading...Life's tough... pic.twitter.com/tZJvIkhjrV

Great Southern Land...

Adore this 2020 version of 'Great Southern Land' by Icehouse...
The didgeridoo inclusion adds extra magic...

a regency novel perspective cartoon...

Even when life seems so much like an unwelcome straitjacket, it is good to know that there can be an injection of wry humour for relief...
Adore this... https://t.co/xNH8rurGeF

Great 'happy snap'...

Australia Day - a different view...

A sad, but not unexpected announcement...
Still, I will venture down to the Dromana foreshore early...as I always do...
Always love this Dromana celebration because always our aboriginal connections are acknowledged...usually in song...
But this year, I will be there + reflect... pic.twitter.com/xhrIoiTnG9

Bengawan Solo...

Such a beautiful song by a beautiful singer...
For some reason, I think of Paris' 'Little Sparrow' - Edith Piaf. There is a similar timbre/tone and sense of longing in the voice... https://t.co/yatFFnH5gM pic.twitter.com/bB2pZgijqs

To clarify my post, Chan Yung Yung is the singer in the YouTube clip.
Frances Yip is also a singer, whose version is on YouTube, but I prefer Chan Yung Yung's.
Frances Yip translated the lyrics into English.
