I listened to the previous Australian ambassador to the US, Kim Beazley, talk today about the shock of the Trump victory and he pointed out the mistakes that the much richer, much spendier, much more aligned to Australia, Clinton campaign made, and it was interesting. Obviously Kim is still a US acolyte/parasite (true believer) but still his observations were well reasoned within his capacities. A true Australian Diplomat. I'm glad the problems he faced regarding child abuse charges went away for him.

Daughter DJ is one of those folk who believe that if you pay for something, then you should get it. This is not how Sydney Airport operates.

Sydney Airport is a real dump, for sure. No interest, no investment, no knowledge, no effort, no future.

Comment from daughter: Nothing in Sydney international departure is duty free! The prices are even higher than normal price! Seriously, This is how you make profits? So here I'm! Sitting in the lounge, glaring at the wall...

Looking forward to sitting at the bench in the Melbourne kitchen after a hard time mowing the lawn and relishing the fact that we no longer have want or need a BBQ... and ordering up some Sichuan saliva Chicken with black fungus...with chicken feet and pigs bowels on the side...and seeing what happens. The glass table in the pic will be replaced by our round oak table and five chairs. Why do Australian people either buy 4 or 6 chairs? 4 is not enough and 6 is too many. We have 5. Chairs are easy to carry anyway. Do I expect 6 people to ever sit at this table? I expect not in my life time. 4 is most possibly likely, taking into consideration a suitor for daughter. 5 gives you some lee-way should one of their parents also turn up. After we kill the boy, and bury him in the back yard, then the number of chairs necessary decreases by one anyway.

Watched Star Trek Beyond overnight. It's rubbish, much like the new JK Rowlings new film and the last Star wars film blockbuster. I fell asleep watching it. This whole fascination with CGI, aka 'fizzy things', and the dependence upon action rather than plot or character, and the dependence upon viewers having ADHD and an incredibly short attention span means that it is all basically, just another car chase scene.

Poem: Perfect

Poem: "Perfect". 

by John Fitzpatrick 26 November 2016

Time is short time is sweet

time is everyone you meet

in the world or in the earth

there's taking life or giving birth

and so you work out best you can

how best to do your perfect plan.

Interesting studying Balwyn Victoria, our next suburbia...there is a street some way along the road from us truly named Lucifer Street. A house in Lucifer Street recently sold for 2 million dollars. If its in easy walking distance we will try to do some jogging up and down it at night. Lucifer Street? I wonder who lives at 6/66... The only other Lucifer St I know of is Lucifer St, Pattaya...Thailand, also known as Walking Street, but officially the real name of it is Lucifer St....and it is understandable why it is called Lucifer St and also why they prefer to call it Walking St for the tourists....when in fact, it is absolutely Lucifer Street.
