Surely It will be the last.
Living in England i find it strange that i can have a Seasonal influenza jab at my local Doctor's surgery but have to travel much more further to get the Covid autumn booster. Don't make sense to me.

Netflix has no value
I got a link to the Channel, of what I've downloaded
I've watched 2
Oddly they feature Kevin Costner
I posted a video The Disposable Heroes of Hypocrisy,just before this

The video was made 30 years ago 1992,
Netflix to me , shows how much TV has dumbed down ,Well everything
It's just a thought


T.V., is it the reflector or the director ?
Does it imitate us
Or do we imitate it
Because a child watches 1500 murders before he's
Twelve years old and we wonder why we've created
A Jason generation that learns to laugh
Rather than to abhor the horror
T.V. is the place where
Armchair generals and quarterbacks can
Experience first hand
The excitement of warfare
As the theme song is sung in the background

Got a couple of our youngest grandkids down here at the beach on Christmas / Summer holidays loving the beach life and staying at one of the local caravan parks. Though they are staying with us for a few days now while their parents attend a school reunion of sorts the other side of Melbourne. We had all seven the grandkids at Christmas, 6 girls and one boy plus a couple of boyfriends. :shock:

Looks like we're destined to populate this land down under. ;)

Did anyone buy prince Harrys book 'SPARE'.
I have declined, but It has obviously been a sell-out.

Just back from four days sking in the Italian Alps with the family. Not me, my skiing days are over unfortunately. I get to carry all the bags and skis for the Kids. Perfect snow, perfect weather, sun every day. Having lunch at 2.500 meters High on the outside terraces.
Can't wait till next year. Maybe a week next time.
We are lucky to be fare away from Ukraine. Poor soles being blown to bits while we get to enjoy a regular life. Please God may It all stop soon.

I've been thinking for a while that there's a second word that's somehow gone missing from the title

Can't understand why no-one in this day and Age Is unable to stop Putins murderous war on Ukraine. Not NATO, not the EU , not Biden. In a year he's murdered thousands of innocent Ukraine civilians, destroying thousands of homes, all because he doesn't want Ukraine to join NATO.
Even his own population, why don't they rebel against him? Why do they allow this Murder? How long Is It going to carry on? Please God put an end to It soon.
