George & Fred don’t usually show any interest in human food, other than being something else to look at & sniff, but George helped himself to a good dollop of yoghurt this morning.

I missed the sunrise, again, but when I raised the blind, I went out the front in my dressing gown to see this. The sound of the gas burners is something I feel a little ambivalent about, but it is a beautiful sight. Best my phone could do.
Good morning.

The fact that we still have people living in limbo in Australia, without any plan for their future, is appalling. They have committed no crime. They are no different to other refugees who have settled in Australia except for the fact that a cruel & heartless government decided to trash their human rights & break with UN conventions signed onto by Australia. Abbott as PM, Dutton, Morrison… all set out to demonise & torture innocent, vulnerable victims. Turnbull did nothing, and Labor governments since have done nothing to address the plight of these people. High profile cases like the Nadesalingam family were treated with compassion, but for others, the pain & insecurity continue.

As a mature aged uni student, I found research & essay drafting enormously difficult. Now I realise this is because I used a bottom up approach. I would read very widely, taking copious notes, and struggle not to get lost in a sea of information & the interpretations of various historians. But I persisted. Eventually I would end up with a horribly rough draft that was 10 times longer than the word limit. Then I would laboriously work through this, striking out sections that were interesting background, & would be considered relevant & useful in a much longer essay, but were insufficiently relevant in a short essay.
In the process, I would, of course, gain a thorough understanding of the topic/issue & its context. And, I ended up with an essay that was either very good, or excellent. (In History essays. I struggled to excel in politics, merely doing very well.)
I eventually learned how to plan & write using a top down approach. When a shortage of time & energy threatened, &/or I was less than enormously interested in the topic, I would do a little reading, and then map out an essay plan, which would then guide what I read and what notes I made. This approach resulted in very good, solid essays.
But my best work was always something that grew out of a broad base of knowledge & understanding, and took much time & effort to produce.

We all just woke from a manna nap after having 2 dear friends for lunch. They haven’t been to visit us for over 2 years for one reason or another, & hadn’t met our cats. He was smitten & the cats were spoilt accordingly with treats. (Fred loves to slide on the boards to chase them, while George will sit on command for them.)
