class is alive but some live with it...

I'm a very poor inhabitant of the Mornington Peninsula. Yes. I have a view. But I'm a lowly renter in a very old + humble, small house. I am not alone. There are many of us scattered around here.
Soon, I won't be a peninsula renter but a countryside renter - probably even lower.

I grew up in the working-class suburbs of Western Sydney. That's my original brand.

interstate moving date sealed...

PASSING THOUGHT: My interstate moving date was, till now, generally April 2022...
But now there is a day - Tuesday 19th April...right after the Easter long weekend...
My future is sealed into a new world...

SPUKES...

Feel a little sorry for 'embarrassed'? SPUKES - an accomplished ukelele group on the Mornington Peninsula. Throughout the year they play at various events e.g. the Rosebud Kite Festival, Buskfest, Christmas Parade+other community-based fundraising events. SM insults their skills.

This comment is in response to SM's attempt to publicise his ukelele skills...

happy and guilty...

PASSING THOUGHT: Feeling happy+guilty...
Just found some school library books that I thought I returned c.2-3 years ago...Hmmmm...
Nothing like preparing for a move interstate to dig out secrets you didn't know you were hiding...
(Yes...They're near the front door waiting now)...

strange flyovers...

PASSING THOUGHT: There's been quite a strange stream of small plane + helicopter flyovers this morning on the Mornington Peninsula...
Yes...There is a small airport nearby at Tyabb, but I've never experienced this 'traffic' except when Portsea Polo is scheduled each January...

That is highly probable I feel...

welcome weekend...

PASSING THOUGHT: Welcome weekend...
Now planning to squish in as many 'must-do's' on Saturday so that Sunday feels as if I can choose some creative and impulse freedoms...
It could work...

political flood of grizzles and gripes...

PASSING THOUGHT: I'm almost bursting. So tempted to join the political flood of grizzles and gripes.
But instead, I'll carefully make a wish...
May this Australian government never deck the halls of history with pomp and ceremony...
May it simply dissolve and melt...
And soon...
