This one has hit far too close at home
My son played cricket with Ben, whilst 3 years different in age, Ben's skills allowed him to play up age groups. I don't remember him other than as a happy kid who just loved cricket
My wife had one of her worst days at work on Wednesday, in her 20+ yrs of work

Could easily pick a trio of INXS, Midnight Oil or U2 albums. I am going to have to sit on this and think a bit further, as there are far too many great albums on this list to give a definite 3, 2, 1 in a short period of time.
I will be back tomorrow morning with my votes.

Your a braver man than I am, I would be leaving the room, the house and potentially the suburb before cracking a joke on that topic.

In the UK, our king mostly opens garden shows and waves at things.

In the US, an orange man is trying to crown himself.

This weekend, seven million people reminded him that he’s not special.

The Revolution Will Be Organised

What the “No Kings” marches taught us: the antidote to tyranny isn’t fury - it’s laughter, clipboards and muscular decency (and there's probably a Gantt chart somewhere).

Saw a red bellied black on Sunday at Jells Park, Wheelers Hill when out walking the dogs. Just lying on the footpath in the sun beside Caulfield Grammar. Thankfully the dogs didn't notice and I was able to give it plenty of room. Glad it wasn't fishing.

Whilst only a 6yo in 1980, these are all albums that I have since acquired and listen to. Big apologies to Jake and Elwood.

3 - Rattle and Hum - U2
2 - Temple of Low Men - Crowded House
1 - ...ish - 1927

very tempted by a number of the big hair bands as well in 1988, I am sure they will get a look in at some stage over the 80's albums.

It’s like having to choose your favourite child, just don’t let the other child know:
3 - Nevermind - Nirvana
2 - Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers
1 - Eternal Nightcap - The Whitlams

The 90s had some great albums, I will be off listening to some of these for the rest of the weekend.

I love coming across pictures that make me stop, and this is one of them. The photo is just so simple and innocent & a world away from the chaos of current events. RIP to an amazing lady who quietly brought global attention to her cause. #RIPJaneGoodall

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

What a year for great albums, so difficult to pick just 3.

3 - Nevermind - Nirvana
2 - Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers
1 - Baby Animals - Baby Animals

As I read through other posts, I will think, yes I should have included that album as well, but I can only choose 3.
