I’m no longer able to put my photos up, so we found a new location. It should also be easier for you to “follow” the blog there. Please save the new link until I figure out how to load the follow function.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><a href="https://anaussieintheworld2.video.blog/">https://anaussieintheworld2.video.blog/</a></p>

Well, I’ve never put it up on true “social media” myself, though a friend did once to my knowledge. That’s how you’re supposed to grow a readership. Nevertheless, the readership has grown, to 19200 + hits, in 2 years, and readers representing maybe 2/3 of the world’s countries, which has thrilled me. So did our valued guest writers. I didn’t know what they were going to write, and I loved that. </span></p>

From time to time people said “you should start a blog”. For several years I didn’t have the confidence, until I was involved in a big, collaborative writing project. We pulled it off, so when I had the time, I took the plunge. Taking friends along for the ride from the old site, was the nucleus of the readership this blog has today. Many still read. I’m thankful for those, the ones that joined along the way, and the new ones. </span></p>

I believe making contacts online , hearing and seeing glimpses of how they live, widens my world, and that’s very important to me. We all live on this one planet, and we need to learn to understand each other. </span></p>

It </span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">is known as the horse “race that stops a nation”, because when the race starts, the whole of Australia puts down whatever they are doing and watches or listens to it. Many locales around the country hold horse, or other types of races, or celebrations of some kind, on that day. Our state of Victoria has a day’s public holiday, (no paid work for most), but when we lived in Sydney, many would stop work either for the afternoon, or during the race. This was not penalised. In recent years, foreign horses have been allowed to join the race, which has given it international interest.</span></font></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; min-height: 33.4px;"><font color="#ad1457"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"></span><br></font></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display";"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><font color="#ad1457">My hubby is not from this state originally, and Acerules was born elsewhere too, so I always said I would take them to the actual Melbourne Cup as it is a unique experience. I bought tickets from Ticketek, going to our local regional city to buy them, but which made getting in quick and easy. Our picnic bags were searched at the entry for alcohol, however. A metal detector was waved over us.</font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display";"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display";"><font color="#ad1457"><br><img id="id_85ff_34b9_96a3_c509" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gXWs71uX3Fc/W-eP2Ko2c8I/AAAAAAAAGCY/f9E55hn_PUwG0TMgM-RQAJo0Zbdx_UtmACHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto;"><br></font></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#ad1457">Copyright Runningonempty.</font></span></p><div><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></div><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display";"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display";">

I bought us all small racing bets, almost the only time that I bet during the year, usually, unless it is on small local town fundraising raffles.

It pains me that the media is sending those misleading images around the world, when the day is such a nice one in reality, and the race committee organise pleasant entertainments besides drinking and betting. </font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><font color="#ad1457"><img id="id_47e3_6f76_5fa5_53ab" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Bd9F9-dIoXc/W-fxEut2SlI/AAAAAAAAGHk/OzI9KezmC4E42POU843TYrXJw8F5DU7vwCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto;"><br><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Copyright Runningonempty</span></font></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><font color="#ad1457"><img id="id_fc35_8d7d_7559_abbe" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mpsfA2o-2y0/W-gCTPaz9ZI/AAAAAAAAGIA/WIXVeqwBu-QQqctmxVOHE38plbSt2EQ_gCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto;"><br><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Copyright Runningonempty</span></font></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><font color="#ad1457"><img id="id_d3c7_3237_1384_a1f9" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Pq-QDF2ZP88/W-gCTD7JCTI/AAAAAAAAGIU/A9UeOhikfVkDXrXUOIUVyk3DsbxwuybegCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto;"><br><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Copyright Runningonempty</span></font></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><font color="#ad1457"><img id="id_285c_197f_4031_ad0d" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FnpqvYCBtqE/W-gCSdxa61I/AAAAAAAAGHw/xW6HZVgcSvcP3VKWKZhN4ajZ7soOUJ04QCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto;"><br><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Copyright Runningonempty</span></font></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font color="#ad1457"><br></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display";"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><font color="#ad1457">We could have gone to see the horses led around , but none of us felt like navigating on the muddy track.

Considering the jockeys that won first and second were fined for various breaches of the rules, including excessive whipping, there is something wrong there. As someone said, in most other sports, they would be disqualified for that. A horse also died during the race. The poor animal broke it’s shoulder early while running, and was euthanised as soon as the vet saw the “catastrophic” injury. There was an outcry. Many people are now calling for delays on younger horses racing until their bones are fully mature. I signed a petition for whipping to be banned, too, as so many jockeys break the rule on how many times the whip can be used.</font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; min-height: 33.4px;"><font color="#ad1457"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"></span><br></font></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display";"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><font color="#ad1457">What do I think of racing? </font></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; min-height: 33.4px;"><font color="#ad1457"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"></span><br></font></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display";"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><font color="#ad1457">* I think that horses love to run.

Well, he is a past bankrupt, so I can’t feel that he is an expert in these matters. What could cause that, also , is that governments around the world have SO MUCH DEBT. In the last recession they made huge stimulus payments. How are they going to afford to do that now? Depending on the size of their economies they owe billions, or trillions. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">The other thing I am certain will happen, is that economies will come out of the next recession/depression, with most of the workforce made up of robots and A1. As the economies tank, human workers will be sacked as is normal in those times. They just won’t be reinstated, as the economy improves, in most cases. In Australia, “hiring” a robot costs only $16 au. That’s lower than the minimum wage, and they don’t require superannuation, workers compensation (Work Cover) insurance, sick leave, holiday pay, parental leave pay, etc.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">If you don’t have a large vegetable garden, plant one. Plant fruit trees. Get chickens or a goat. Learn self defence. None of these things can hurt your life, and you just might need them. </span></p>

Who wants to take home a photo of ugly advertising from their vacation? The Opera House is a temple to the arts, not to commerce. The glorious contrast between the optical whiteness of the sails of the roof, and the blue harbour, are reminiscent of the white sails of the ships that the Australian Aboriginals first saw when the white man moved into their harbour. Or you can see white waves depicted there. It is beautiful, and a marvel of applied mathematics. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>When my kids were young we lived in Sydney. We would often get on a bus or train and have a picnic at Circular Quay. I’d encourage my kids to draw the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I would frequently take photos of tourists in front of those landmarks, as a gesture of goodwill. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_93dc_6da4_acf_2e9f" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_IF32he-YPI/W7m-tIniVII/AAAAAAAAF_o/Ekk4yT-9pVkr7FVrfkdsejVgbVPVnwlWACHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 581px; height: auto;"></div><div><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">Creative commons, photo by Adams J.W.C.<br></span><br><br></div><div><br></div><div>We often walked around it, looking out at the boats on the sparkling blue harbour, and the homes of the rich across the water. We marvelled up at the white tiles on the roofs of the “sails”. I took my son to see a Shakespeare play there and took my daughter to the ballet in its halls. The view from an upper foyer balcony out to the harbour during the interval, on a sunny Sydney day, was superb. Just pure happiness. Then we went back in to watch the Firebird do her magnificent thing and Acerules was so inspired she danced all along circular Quay back to the railway station.

I had never attended one in Australia because of the reputation for drunkenness. The original celebration, though, in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, is replete with parades, colour, music, special foods, horse racing, history, beautiful costumes , fairground rides, etc. </span></p>

I checked that he knew the correct recipe when I ordered, he did! Beef mince, pork mince, pork fat, certain spices. I had to buy five kilos minimum, but that’s ok, as he said I got a discount for volume! (Still scratching my head at that one. ) Gee, they were nice sausages though! Hubby cooked onions with them. The pewter plate in the rear is a souvenir from Coburg, Germany, and a guest brought the small pretzels, that I put on a silver plate.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><img id="id_abdc_cafb_9d89_c7a1" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uvi0AQ6hlFU/W7hunF8B6NI/AAAAAAAAF8U/lRccgH1BqTEDJOs35VIY4NpmvxWVMbOBgCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto;"></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><br></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">Acerules and I dressed up, someone asked if that is her real hair, it is!

We toured around in Central Australia, and in places like Kings Canyon, which is 440 million years old, and aboriginals consider a sacred space, there are species of plants, like cycads, that were there at the time of the dinosaurs! </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><h1 id="section_0" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.3; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: none; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: italic; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font size="3">Macrozamia macdonnellii</font></span></h1><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><img id="id_5f95_c8b8_2d4a_bbae" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nITRtzdIGyI/W5n2QeysDwI/AAAAAAAAF6E/rRZHS1pVP8EjFuR-YxicjJWYvzbEvK4FQCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto;"><br>Mark Marathon, Creative Commons.<br><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">Uluru, a place that is also sacred to the aboriginals, is over 500 million years old:</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><img id="id_5d35_c0ea_906e_7017" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OmMZ6fewns0/W5nZOWkzicI/AAAAAAAAF5g/vsvkISfzll03TvIuJNGfiCm3qJlnbqBIACHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 960px; height: auto;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">Mark Andrews, Creative commons.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);">Solid Rock:<br><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tSNxFGW09Mo" width="500" height="281" id="y_id_8641_4be7_df5c_21dd" frameborder="0"></iframe><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><br></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tSNxFGW09Mo">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tSNxFGW09Mo</a></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><br></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><br></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);">Down here in Victoria, you can travel to The Grampians , Hanging Rock at Woodend, Inverloch fossil site, or lots of other places to see our ancient land.

We think, ensconced in our respective countries, that issues of immigration are ours only. They are worldwide. Those issues are to the fore in the Swedish elections this week. I read today, that Mexico has vast amounts of temporary and permanent foreign visitors. A great many are from THAT vast neighbour next door. We don’t hear that often, do we, more the opposite, thanks to Trump. Something lures them there, what is it that they want? </span></p>

Young men often don’t know fear much. That can be caused by a combination of testosterone and ignorance of the perils, I think. However, gassed in the trenches , torpedoed in ships, or falling out of the sky in planes, they gained their life experiences alright. They learned the meaning of terror, and if they survived, often had it for life, in the form of PTSD. (Post traumatic stress disorder.) Returning from the quest they embarked on as naive youths, they stared with much older eyes that held horror, and fought with their loved ones, changed by their fate, the fate of returned soldiers down the ages. Of course, many never returned. </span></p>

The higher beings worked through people, or sometimes miraculously, animals. Just to show their power, food might just appear, such as manna falling from Heaven. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p>

Jobs left, homes rented out or sold, friends lost, furniture abandoned, kissing Mother goodbye. One may never come back, many don’t. Then at their destination , if they arrive in great numbers, existing populations can lose out - populations of indigenous people, and earlier questers, also populations of flora and fauna. The former can and do protest. The latter can’t, they become endangered, and increasingly, extinct. The reasons for people to visit, the things they want to see, become scarce.</span></p>

This is situated in one of the outer suburbs of Canberra. </span></p>

It was so gratifying to see both my family members showing such childlike delight and joy while noticing all the details. It is extremely well done and you don’t need to take anything, unless the weather is showery, then take rain gear. We had a perfect, sunny day in mid Winter, and it doesn’t usually snow there. There are alot of photos, so I’ve broken this post up into parts.</span></p>

There are few artisans in the world that make them authentically to the original anymore and it’s very time consuming. I like that the international community in Australia have sponsored many of the displays. Keeping in mind that their embassies etc are often located in Canberra, that is quite special. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display";

He was sentenced to six years in a Cambodian prison without mattresses, or other basic necessities. He’s already done one year, since he allegedly flew a drone over an opposition rally (the opposition party were then outlawed before the Cambodian election.) </div><div><br></div><div>I signed a petition to the Australian Foreign Minister, some months ago , asking her to get him out of jail, our government didn’t even have the grace to publically say he wasn’t a spy! Ricketson has had a career as a filmmaker, the great director Peter Weir testified for him in court this week. He also lived among poor people in Cambodia and told their stories. He loved them, and maybe now he will die for them, because his health has been getting dangerously bad in jail. His family believe he will not survive six more years there. </div><div><br></div><div>I will say this. The Cambodian government needs to know they are creating an Australian martyr. That is a really bad idea. Australian journalists that were murdered in Indonesia went down in history here, we did not forget, decades later we still keep their memories alive. </div><div><br></div><div>Journalists, writers, filmmakers, playwriters, artists, musicians, comedians are the eyes, ears and mouthpieces of the world and embarrassing to some governments. But there is something worse for those governments, making those people into martyrs by killing them.The legend of good, principled people outlasts their murders. Please, if you care about human rights, sign the petition for Ricketson to be freed, below. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-45364695" id="id_abb0_b578_bbea_ea3f" target="_blank">BBC article about James Ricketson</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Please, please sign this petition to the Australian foreign minister, read about the conditions Ricketson is slowly dying in:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.change.org/p/marise-payne-act-now-to-bringjamesricketsonhome-or-my-innocent-father-will-die-in-jail" id="id_1ab6_6a41_dd79_70b4" target="_blank">change.org petition by his daughter</a><br></div><div><br></div>Running on empty http://www.blogger.com/profile/05668554083864151638noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647425979151417363.post-50144852441245703862018-08-28T01:32:00.001+10:002018-08-28T01:45:12.542+10:00COCKINGTON GREEN - part 3 in Canberra <div><br></div><div>Part 3.

It was so gratifying to see both my family members showing such childlike delight and joy while noticing all the details. It is extremely well done and you don’t need to take anything, unless the weather is showery, then take rain gear. We had a perfect, sunny day in mid Winter, and it doesn’t usually snow there.

This is situated in one of the outer suburbs of Canberra. <div>I recommend you go to this tourist attraction. It was so gratifying to see both my family members showing such childlike delight and joy while noticing all the details. It is extremely well done and you don’t need to take anything, unless the weather is showery, then take rain gear. We had a perfect, sunny day in mid Winter, and it doesn’t usually snow there. There are alot of photos, so I’ve broken this post up into parts.</div><div>All photos are copyright Runningonempty.</div><div><br></div><div>Being on a tight budget, we had brought hot soup, (that I had heated up in the hotel microwave oven), in thermoses and sat, after our journey, to have it in the attractive front garden before we went in. This is the beautiful European style main house:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><img id="id_5722_f784_19ba_62a7" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-25PHOm6ghZ0/W4QHIYeNsBI/AAAAAAAAFfI/2U8hCpKLqAc844J29qs8NRy2cvHuIbDNQCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 548px; height: auto;"></div><div><br></div><div>We went through that to get to the extensive back garden.

They were taught to the people by honoured members called bards, people who were apprenticed from childhood to have great memories for poetry, stories and songs. They would verbally entertain the assembly in each great hall after dinner and they often travelled from King’s hall to chieftain’s house, around the countryside. In later centuries, elders of households told the stories around the fire of an evening. One characteristic of the Celts, is that they were, and are, very good with words. </span></p>

His dearly beloved nephew , foster son and heir,Tristan, was sent to Ireland by sea to fetch her, and on the way back , they fell in love. Some versions have it that the culprit was a love potion that was meant for King Mark and Isolde, but was accidentally taken by both Tristan and Isolde when she shared her drink with him. Their passion was truly unquenchable regardless of the cause. (I can testify that you don’t need a love potion to experience illicit and unignorable, sitting in a freezing car together in the middle of Winter burning up, illogical passion.) </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">The point is, they knew each other and were madly in love before her wedding day to another man.

That reminds me of Twentieth Century Prince Charles and Camilla, cheating on Princess Diana, although Isolde was said to be beautiful, and Camilla - well beauty is in the eye of the beholder. After all, C and C had been involved before her wedding, and the British Royal wedding, and it’s said it was a love match. The marriage to Diana, was allegedly less so, and more an approved dynastic strategy by the Royal Family. Maybe they should have studied Tristan and Isolde first.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">Tristan went through much anguish at losing her to another man, although he had insisted on the union to stop “100 years of war”. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">“I hope he doesn't make the same mistakes<br>

Soldiers in those days tended not to live until old age, it was a violent time. Two of the earliest accounts say that he was poisoned, and more dramatically, that a woman was being attacked by six soldiers, and he fought all of them, being seriously wounded. Both are feasible, and he might even have got blood poisoning from his wounds. Regardless, he called for Isolde the Fair to be brought from Cornwall, ostensibly because of her legendary healing skills with herbs. Yeah, right, that was the only reason? Of course not. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">Now, Isolde of the White Hands was understandably very jealous at this. Her hubby was asking for another woman that he loved, on his sickbed (something I also went through, and I can tell you it’s extremely distressing, and complicates the wife’s grief after the death.) </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">Tristan got a message through, that when the boat from Cornwall arrived, it should display a white flag if his beloved healer was on it, and a black flag if she were not. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">Guess what his wife did. Yes, she arranged that no matter what, the sail should display black. Tristan “turned his face to the wall” and died, bereft of his true love. Except that he wasn’t. Isolde the Fair walked in shortly after, there was a whole Romeo and Juliette mad grief scene, and she died of a broken heart on his body. In one painting, she has ripped off most of her clothes and is bare breasted. Not that far fetched, in many ancient cultures, tearing of one’s clothing in extreme grief was not unusual. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">One version says that Isolde of the White Hannds was stricken with guilt when she saw the tragedy. Again, shades of Romeo and Juliette. What do you think?</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">Again different versions treat their afterlife differently. One says that the two lovers never were separated again in the afterlife and lived as spirits in bliss. Another series of tales described the two graves next to each other, covered in briar roses, that twined in together, and despite orders of the King, could not physically be cut. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">Ok, where’s the promised twist, you ask. Well, the occurrence that inspired me to write this post, was me reading a number of recent online forum testimonies from young Indian people , of their arranged marriages turning disastrous. One reason that appeared again and again, was one partner having an affair from the start of the marriage , with their ex girlfriend or boyfriend. This caused emotional chaos, poverty, dishonour of the spouse, divorce and trying to get back the dowry in some cases. Is this happening in the dark ages in Iron Age Britain? No, it’s in 21st Century India and it’s diaspora. I used to be very open minded about arranged marriages , considering how high the divorce rate is in the West. Now I am not so sure. I wonder what other countries and cultures this is a problem in, today?</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">Here is a 1998 Indian Bollywood movie that treats the story much more visually modestly than the 2006 Western Tristan and Isolde movie, shown above, but the main romantic theme is similar. There are some differences, a major theme is cultural clash between traditional rural India and modern America. The bridegroom from America that the girl must marry, is the son, not the wealthy father, and her loved one is from her own Indian town, (a moral and musical fellow.) I won’t tell you how this one ends, though there is some violence during it, hence the panicked running you see the young lady doing. She grew on me, very pretty. The movie is called Pardes, and is available in outlets online with English subtitles - a trailer:</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><br></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 33.4px;"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"></span><br><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/arhGlBQJvbM" width="500" height="281" id="y_id_7db4_edb1_1e7f_a45a" frameborder="0"></iframe><br></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 33.4px;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(228, 175, 10);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=arhGlBQJvbM">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=arhGlBQJvbM<span style="font-size: 28pt; color: rgb(228, 175, 10);"></span></a></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 33.4px;"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"></span><br></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 33.4px;"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"></span><br></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 33.4px;"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"></span><br></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">A theme in the Pardes movie is the clash of cultures and values between the old country and the new.

<span style="font-family: ".sfuidisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">I was told about Soup Plus jazz club by my friend Terry , probably when he visited us in Sydney in the 1990s after we first moved there. He was twice my age, knew everything about everything (a very gifted man) , he knew what music I would like, what I could eat (not spicy food) and I’d learned to trust his recommendations. </span></div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-family: ".sf ui display"; font-size: 28px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 33.4px;">

<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-family: ".sf ui display"; font-size: 28px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuidisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">I don’t remember that first visit except for the cheap homestyle soup with bread, and other food such as Italian that cost more if you wanted it, and the great live music. Jazz, of course. I don’t remember if we went back much at all. Disease , ADHD and deaths intervened, and life got even more complicated than my life normally is. (Mum once said to me, can’t you simplify your life? Not my generation, Mum. )</span></div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-family: ".sf ui display"; font-size: 28px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 33.4px;">

<span style="font-family: ".sfuidisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">I remember the last time I went, in 2002, baby girl “Acerules” on my hip. That wasn’t her nickname then, her high school friends chose that one. She was called “pretty”, “beautiful”, “princess”, “trouble”, and her brother had a bunch of insults for her. One of his own nicknames was “double trouble”. I was always tired.</span></div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-family: ".sf ui display"; font-size: 28px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 33.4px;">

<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-family: ".sf ui display"; font-size: 28px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuidisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">She had been breast fed, was a clingy, social, loving , smiling little doll of a child, always a lap sitter, that one. When I put her in the high chair she often screamed, because it wasn’t a person. She liked walks in the pram or stroller, though. She’d sleep only about 5 mins during the day, she was afraid of missing something, I think. </span></div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-family: ".sf ui display"; font-size: 28px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 33.4px;">

<span style="font-family: ".sfuidisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">Mum always said you should be introducing the first solid foods at 4 months. Well, Ace’s Christening rolled around. Two old school friends came up to Sydney from Melbourne for the occasion, and we decided to go out to Soup Plus, with the kids.</span></div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-family: ".sf ui display"; font-size: 28px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 33.4px;">

<span style="font-family: ".sfuidisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">We had a lovely time. They were fun friends. The venue was as I remembered it: darkish, intimate, venerable, European style, smelling delicious, sounding wonderful. I don’t remember the name of the jazz band that was playing, but they were musically proficient and the singer was suitably sultry. </span></div>
<div style="color: rgb(69 , 69 , 69); font-family: ".sf ui display"; font-size: 28px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 33.4px;">

<span style="font-family: ".sfuidisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">I do remember they played “Stardust”, that night. That song and it’s gorgeous melody had become one of my favourite pieces of music, when an organ student of mine requested to learn it, in the early ‘90s. In those days in Melbourne I taught piano, keyboards, organ, theory and music history from my home. She was a lovely lady. She was of Dutch birth and had lived through World War Two in Indonesia. She was locked up in a Japanese concentration camp for part of the war. It was so traumatic, she found it hard to talk about it. One day she did though. I remember also she owned a beloved parrot.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuidisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">At Soup Plus there was a stage up the front, tables in front of it, nearest the door was a bar, furthest away was the servery. I don’t remember what everyone else had to eat, but that is where Acerules had her first solid food, sitting on my lap - </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuidisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">homestyle, really chunky, fragrant pumpkin soup, with a side of Jazz. She liked it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuidisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">In the link below about the history, and closing, of Soup Plus, James Morrison is mentioned as playing there in earlier years. To those unfamiliar with him, he is an Australian consummate performer, of many different instruments. (There is a story he told while being interviewed. It’s about where he proposed to his wife. If you know that, then you know where my hubby proposed to me. This a G rated post ;) so I can’t tell you. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuidisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">He can play virtuoso with the world’s great, or play funny tricks to entertain, like playing piano and trumpet at the same time. So out of all the tracks I could have chosen Baby, You’re the Best.</span></div>

He said there was nothing to do there much, except (something else, I forget what) and going to the pub. He said, the weather is so bad, that they are the only places to go. That’s his opinion. I do know from TV, there is a big pub culture in the UK, and that that is the main place where people socialise, their local. So, today I went Googling to see if there is a drinking problem in Britain. It seems there is. I’m wondering if the pub culture is to blame or if there are other reasons?</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">“</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Beyond the health risks and potential harm, that’s the more insidious aspect of Peak Booze: the mental baggage. A fair few of us are more dependent than we’d like to be on that cold glass of white wine or cheeky gin and tonic at the end of the day. It’s important to me to know that drinking is a choice, not a need. But if I choose not to drink for one night out, I find myself rambling an explanation, assuring people that, no, I’m not pregnant. The fact that staying sober for a month is seen as a feat of willpower and the subject of charity campaigns such as Dry January shows just how embedded alcohol is in our lives. It’s the grease that keeps many of our days moving.”</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">- BBC.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"><br></span></div><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">That’s from a very interesting article, which you can read at the end of the post.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 28px; line-height: normal; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIDisplay"; font-size: 28pt;">In Brigid Jones Diary , she is trying to cut her drinking, but she and her friends mostly meet in pubs and bars.

We don’t often see them in pubs in Australia that much, since the responsible drinking laws were enacted, and every bar staff member had to get qualified in how to refuse alcohol to drunks. Most alcohol problems in the community, to my first hand knowledge, especially from neighbours here and in Sydney, seem to be due to the 2 for 1 offers on take-away alcohol. I read somewhere that Scotland had clamped down on that, and improved their situation with alcohol related community problems. </span></p>

If I were an alcoholic I wouldn’t go there, however, as that’s not recommended. I would go to cafés though, with or without my friends, also the cinema, bowling, yoga, line dancing, to play a game of squash, to see a show, a museum, a library, etc., all the things that are available indoors in Australia. My family often pop into the local free art gallery, or antiques shops. When we travel we like to visit attractions. We have visited wine growing areas, and found other things to do besides wine tastings.</span></p>
