Well it’s the 21st of December once again, and in Australia that means it’s Gravy Day. Singer / Songwriter Paul Kelly is our Bob Dylan and our Johnny Cash. His song “How to Make Gravy” is as beautiful as it is heartbreaking. I hope you love it too. youtu.be/iISWrBk8KZc?...

South Koreans who went to sleep before 10.30pm will have slept through the president declaring martial law to overthrow democracy, a military siege around the National Assembly, lawmakers scaling walls to bypass barricades, a vote to overturn it & the president vowing to imminently end martial law.

Lovely 1930s Donald Duck confectionery tin by Pascall’s Australia. One of the earliest items in my collection, note the W.D. ENT. trademark for “Walt Disney Enterprises”
