Recently a writer to these pages who is a grandmother to a young teenage family, visited her own Mother to catch up for a family get together after the ravages of lockdown.. The youngsters were to have a pleasant visit, not only to Grandma, but to be part of a four generation ‘get together.’ Four generations together ...now that is something else and I would venture to suggest that is a fairly rare event in ones greater family. It should be an occasion to remember well into old age.
I have a photo of a child of eight months sitting on his great-grandmother’s knee, along with his father and his mother, the babe’s beloved grandmother ...years later. That little boy was to inherit much of his great-grandmother’s spirit and determination .

Melbourne, that glorious city in the state of Victoria in Australia, granted me some of the best travel days of my life during two separate trips each lasting a full week.
A happy, civilized, highly educated people are here living amidst modern architecture, inspiring bridges, and natural beauty, a place where even the police are kind, and when you ask them for directions they reply with a smile, and when you say thank you, they say “No worries.”
Now there are big worries in Melbourne.
The Premier has imposed a vicious police state without precedent in this country’s history. His name is Dan Andrews (a sweet-sounding name that masks the tyrant he has become), and he tweets out pictures of empty streets to brag about what he has achieved in the name of suppressing a virus.
Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef is once again the excuse for extending Green control of all land and waters. Their current scare concerns the quality of water draining into the Coral Sea.
Their hidden agenda is to eliminate coastal agriculture, mining and commercial fishing. They would surrender the land to kangaroos, cassowaries, lantana, cane toads, wild cats and feral pigs and the seas to marauding sharks, cruising whales and aboriginal fishermen.
I miss the 10 Commandments. And I can assure you that the way the West is going, the 10 Commandments will be banned and that they will be replaced by ONE COMMANDMENT:
DO AS YOU ARE TOLD.
When I was a little girl, I attended a country Church where our Minister was a hell fire and brimstone Preacher. We sat in the front pews, awe struck and almost frightened. Not because of his words, but the fact that the veins in his neck stuck out as he preached the Gospel and we worried that his head and neck would explode and we would get showered with brains. Such is the working of a child's mind. Fortunately, all we got splattered with was the spit that erupted from his mouth as he warned us of the fires of Hell and the demons that would torment us, should we ever succumb to that most wicked of creatures - the Devil.
We are witnessing a vicious assault by enemies of all that is good, and our president is having to act in ways unprecedented in decades, maybe centuries.
The biblical nature of good versus evil cannot be discounted as we examine what is happening on the streets of America.
It’s Marxism in the form of antifa and the Black Lives Matter movement versus our very capable and very underappreciated law enforcement professionals, the vast majority of whom are fighting to provide us safe and secure homes, streets and communities.
When the destiny of the United States is at stake, and it is, the very future of the entire world is threatened.
The Chinese Virus is seeing Australia leaping from Recession to Depression and our economic freefall is almost inevitable unless something is done.
The Wall Street Crash in 1929 was almost the Corona Virus of last century in terms of the economic and social chaos that ensued.
Australia had borrowed heavily and, because of falling commodity prices, we were left with loan repayments that we could not make. Our Government was in disarray, worker discontentment was escalating and unemployment was at alarming levels.
In the middle of what must the biggest calamity to afflict our Nations in many decades, many countries are still being overwhelmed with " refugees ". Nigel Farage has highlighted the problem in the UK where boats are seemingly being escorted into British waters by the French Navy.
“What we know is that a French naval vessel has been seen escorting boats out of French waters to get them into British waters… then they are off their hands,” said Nigel Farage, back in May. Things have only gotten worse with 3500 crossing the Channel so far this year, according to Breitbart. .
So often, we hear the left crying about ending world hunger and misery. But is it not simply a drop in the ocean and, no matter what we do, it will never be enough? Throwing the doors open to the " poor" is an insurmountable problem and all that will happen is that we will be overwhelmed as well. The worldwide movement of people has been a recipe for disaster for some time.
And we now have that disaster.
Today is the anniversary of my father's passing. I normally spend it with Redhead and we do something that we know he would have enjoyed. Yet here I am today, with food poisoning because I broke my cardinal rule and bought some packaged soup - made in Thailand. I never checked the label. I just grabbed it because I was feeling lazy and the picture on the packaging was very pretty.
It got me to thinking. Have we become lazy and are we falling for deceptive packaging? This whole Chinese Virus terror is tearing our lives apart and we have become communities and nations poisoned by clever marketing and the picture on the box is just one gigantic campaign of fear.

“Chloroquine is a 9-aminoquinoline known since 1934.”
“Chloroquine exerts direct antiviral effects, inhibiting pH-dependent steps of the replication of several viruses including members of the flaviviruses, retroviruses, and coronaviruses.”
“This old drug may experience a revival in the clinical management of viral diseases such as AIDS and severe acute respiratory syndrome, which afflict mankind in the era of globalisation.”

Redhead wrote very passionately about a subject that is taboo to many of us: Rape. How she felt that this most horrific of crimes is being swept under the carpet because it is too distasteful and too abhorrent to bring out in to the open.
One of our commenters raised the subject, quite rightfully, that there are too many who are too quick to judge and that men need a fair go when it comes to this increasingly controversial behaviour.
I think back to when Julian Assange was accused of rape, charged with rape and then was subjected to years in isolation because some woman had said she did not agree to have sex with him. Rape?
So let's talk about this.
I have just finished reading about the rape in Germany of a 13 year old and following quickly on the heels of that, the same man raped an 11 year old girl. This man, an Afghan Named Zubyr S. was not considered a risk and managed the viscious deed a second time.
Every day you read of these rapes all around the world. This seems to be common practice for some of the Immigrants or should I say so called refugees that we have encouraged into our more law abiding Countries.
