tcpipEarly in the week I dropped into the local public vaccination clinic and picked up my booster shot (Moderna; mixing it up a bit and the queue was shorter). The Royal Exhibition Building is World Heritage-listed for good reason; it's quite beautiful and was Australia's first parliament. Of course, in the current omicron environment, it does seem that the eastern states have all but decided to ignore health institute warnings from just a few weeks ago that we could hit up to 200K cases per day by the end of the month. Of course, our Prime Minister of Marketing pointed that this was on the upper edge of their estimates. Not that he's done anything at all about it, or will. Appropriately, a good portion of the last days of 2021 and early 2022 was spent in discussion with an associate professor of psychology at a polytechnic in the United States who so happens to have some pretty interesting views on coronavirus and vaccines.

caseopaya ventured out to Willsmere as we were getting the last bit of scrubbing of the place done; it's been painted and plastered, it has been gardened, it has a new oven and cooktop, the electrics have been fixed, and now it's finally ready to go on sale. If anyone has an interest in buying our property (located on the grounds of the old Kew Asylum) you know how to contact us. The evening prior we watched "Don't Look Up" which are far as allegory and satire goes is not what one would call subtle, but is nevertheless a thoroughly appropriate commentary on the vacuous commentary and discussion that one finds on most mass or social media. A few days prior we had ventured out to The Astor to see Coen's "The Trag^H^H^H^HScottish Play", which reminded me of a 1950s style, accentuated with its black and white filming, but also with the dialogue of Shakespeare (rather like Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet" from the mid-90s).
