I’m sitting in a suburban cafe with my iPad wasting an hour before I go to the hairdresser. My hairdresser is a 45 minute drive away from my place. I’ve been seeing her for over 20 years. She’s worth it.
This respite, with a bottle of Coke Zero and a cherry Danish are the perfect foil for getting the weekly questions out of the way.
So, with to further commentary, here are the questions, posed, as always, by Sunday Stealing.
Friday Fill-in - Fill in the Blanks.
1. ________ is not the end of the world.
Trump is not the end of the world. He might be giving it a red-hot go, but here’s what I think. I don’t reckon Trump is going to be around for much longer. He shouldn’t be there - like somebody should take the keys of grandpa. Regardless, when he’s gone, I think the bubble is going to burst. Like popping a pimple, all the crap comes out and the healing can begin. Hopefully his sycophantic cronies will crawl back under the rock from whence they came.
2. _____ tastes so good!
I’m sitting in this Jewish cafe in the middle of a big Jewish area here in Melbourne. The bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon are second to none. Breakfast of champions. The cherry danish was very good too. This cafe does fantastic Reuben sandwiches as well.
3. Sometimes, putting others first is_______.
…not a very good idea at all. There is a lot to be said for self-preservation at times. It depends on the scenario.
4. ________ is breathtaking, really.
Milford Sound in the South Island of New Zealand is one of the most naturally beautiful places in the world. I’ve been there twice. It’s a three hour drive in. It’s a treacherous drive. Often, the roads are blocked. You have to go through this long, steep tunnel. Then you are deposited on the shore between soaring cliff faces. It’s mind-blowing how small you feel amongst this beauty.
If you can, go to New Zealand - the South Island is incredible.
5. Well, maybe there is______.
A God. I have no idea what God might be - monotheistic, polytheistic, a spaghetti monster in a huge colander, Keith Richards…? I’m agnostic. I’m good with the concept, but don’t ask me to articulate exactly what god is. I’m okay with that. Happy to be proven either right or wrong.
6. This week, my plans include…….
Work, exercise, sleep and anticipating the next episode of Rivals which comes out on Friday.

I HOPE you're right about FOTUS. By successfully backing challengers to two Republican senators, he may have unleashed GOP resistance to the imperial presidency.
