song sung blue + yellow

A blue song.

West Papuans. Have just had the unsettling experience of Vanstone on TV repeating "we will decide etc etc etc". I have some degree of hope that Australians will look on West Papuans rather differently than how they looked on Iraqis and Afghans in 2001.


A yellow song.

Caught up today with a good friend who's about my age and just been through one of those health scares that blokes my age have. He and his wife are off on a three week walking holiday in Corsica. Sounds great and he's a gentle soul and such a good bloke - one of those rare ones who can be totally honest without it appearing boastful or whingeing - just calls it. I couldn't help but feel really happy for them.
