Life goes on....

 Back at Woy woy where the weather has normalised a little and it is quite bearable. It is actually the same temperature as Wellington NZ I hear from Tom on a call last night. Summer has finally arrived there I am glad to hear, and it may well still be there when I arrive for my visit in a few weeks. Am looking forward very much to seeing my Kiwi friends.

The Pilger family certainly made a mark and had very humble origins, albeit with a mother who went to University. It does a make a difference on your children and how they lead their lives, as is well shown in film-maker John Pilger's obituary of his very high achieving and much loved bother, Graham.

Aussie Ballet being the saviour for this young America dancer where the Australian health system came to his aid in a spectacular fashion. Ballet needs such good medicine and here it seems, we have it.
