I live in Yanchep, Whadjuk, Western Australia. Unpacking my baggage, discarding most of it, packing up what’s left. I’m 62, mirror says older, brain says 35. My focus is on today, and thinking about tomorrow. A cup of tea is crucial to any decision-making.

Private schools in Australia should NOT receive funding from the taxes paid to the Australian government.
It is disturbing how much Australian taxpayer money is provided to subsidise religious educational institutions, especially given, as the linked points out, it is done so with 'few strings attached.' #auslaw #auspol 1/2

My 4-year-old daughter asked what heaven looks like (we're not religious) and when I asked what she thought she said, "I think it looks dark with everyone dead in it."
