Stumbling over ghosts in an art gallery

We seem to be creeping towards the colder weather. Still with the daily news full of America revisiting its 1953 coup in Iran who has time to think about the weather? In between catching up with old friends, we’d just driven back from one of my favourite spots in Australia – the Thredbo Valley – and now it was time to return to furnishing our home. Someone once commented that inhabiting a modernist house would be like living in an art gallery and I thought I’d like to live in an art gallery. For many decades I carted around some old silk screen prints from my time in Adelaide. We finally decided to get one of them framed after all those decades and cities

We seem to be creeping towards the colder weather – though not creeping fast enough to my mind. Still, with the daily news full of America revisiting its 1953 coup in Iran (with the Israelis rather than the Brits this time) – that reinstalled the Shah and then, through action and reaction, led to the situation we have today – who has time to think about the weather?

Pulling the trigger or dropping the ball
I am fascinated by how the everyday expressions of a country reflect it’s most important interests – in the US pulling the trigger on a decision, in Australia, dropping the ball.
