There has been a lot discussion, and analysis of the 2o/20 Summit on the radio and internet today -
I guess in the newspapers and on television also.
Discussion is good - it engages the community and is often the genisis of ownership.
 The tree the bird was in looks a bit like this.
 The Extras on the DVD I watched were great.
I was at a supermarket - which it seems is close to a high school - and was alarmed at the number of students purchasing 'food' before school.
As I watched a young boy buy a packet of chips, and 2 others, a little older, purchase a bottle of 'V' each, I wondered how severe the discipline problems might be for their teachers during the hours before the caffeine, salt, colourings, flavourings and preservatives wore off.
As I began to drive off I noticed a man - perhaps the store manager, or teacher? - talking quite sternly to a group of boys and girls outside the supermarket. It was 8:45am and the students
would be struggling to get to school on time.

I had my breakfast outside in the morning sunshine with a gentle breeze and delighted in the opportunity to watch some kind of long beaked bird hang upside down and take the nectar from what looked to me like pale yellow bottle brush flowers. Whilst I enjoy flowers and birds I am unable to identify many of them.

Later in the day I tested all the a/c units and found one that didn't work. I tried all the remotes and swapped the batteries around and yes they were in the right way up.
To no avail, so this to has gone on The List for the inspection report.
It is thankfully a rather short list.
The 30 stains on the living room carpet are on the list;
most of these stains are inexplicably orange.
Tonight I have watched Cary Grant and Grace Kelly in 'To Catch A Thief'. This was Miss Kelly's last movie before she married and became Her Serene Highness Princess Grace of Monaco. Ironically, the movie is set in the south of France, and amongst the rich and famous, all of which she would preside over from the Pink Palace, within the tiny principality of Monaco.
Directed By Alfred Hitchcock, it was fun as usual to spot him in the film - and I concentrated so hard on that I forgot to listen for the mention of Archie Leech - Cary Grant's real name, that he works into many of his films.
