    I have the last two Australian coins. Shame It wasn’t the 1930 penny as it would be worth quite a bit today. They are talking about bringing out a coin with King Charles on it, wonder if they bring out notes as well.? But you wonder why, because going into most shops today they prefer you to pay by credit card.

    RnR – Just love your Jasmine flowers . I must admit they can be a bit heady in the perfume department though.

    Just some trivia about Apple.

    Alan Turing ended his life on June 7th 1954. He bit into an apple laced with cyanide and ate a bite of it. He did it because the British government chemically castrated him, humiliated him and prosecuted him for being gay. For that reason there is a bitten Apple Logo in honor of Alan Turing. He invented computer science and using his early designs cracked the Enigma Code – the encrypted machine that the Nazi and German Army used to communicate secret commands to each other during world war – thereby saving millions of human lives and bringing us to the modern computer age.  Pride month isn’t about dancing on floats in gold shorts and waving a rainbow flag, it’s about remembering everyone has a right to be happy, to love who they want to love and to recognise the outstanding contribution that everyone can make a society free of fear and prejudice.

    In ex-PM John Howard’s new book, he is scathing in his assumption of Scott Morrison, here is an extract of John Howard’s critisms of the Morrison Government. ‘Political management was often defective. Failure to put integrity commission vote to parliament. Internal differences over religious discrimination bill. ‘Egregious’ Attack on Aust.Post CEO Christine Holgate. Factionalism has poisoned the Liberal Party’s Body Politics. Then in the next breath he is praising the man up? And did you see Scomo giving his speech at the Convention at the Margaret Court’s Church, saying “You can’t trust Governments”????? How right he is.

    I hope there is a full investigation into this shocking behaviour. Scotty from Marketing is at it again. And typical of Ministers having a lapse of memory when they are asked the hard questions. He should be stood down from all duties until this matter is resolved.

    Well, at last I can say I’m over the Covid virus. It did knock me around quite a bit, my Doctor thought I might have got one of the variants. I never knew I had that much mucus  in my sinuses and throbbing throat. But that’s all behind me now although I get a little tired towards the end of the day. So grateful I had all the vaccines otherwise I could have ended up in Intensive Care and never came home. I wear a mask now whenever I go to the shops.
