  1. Of course, there were some women who were so busy with the weddings that they just happened to forget to tell the department. Back to work in a couple of weeks. Another variation was in areas like teaching. Women had to resign from their permanent appointments. But were then re-hired on contracts. Often for years.
  2. I receive my payments from Unisuper every month. Nice way to be. When I first started working in the public sector, things were very different. We blokes were required to contribute each pay with retirement long in the future. Women who started at the same time also contributed, but when they married they usually had to “retire” and received a lump sum payout.That was to set up the family, but no ongoing income.
  3. Walked down to the waterfront this morning. Looking across to Stations Pier in Port Melbourne. Sill no cruise ships. Perhaps October. Instead we have the HMAS Stalwart III, and oil refueller. In the background is the Spirit of Tasmania preparing for its journey to Devonport in Tasmania.
  4. Big showdown at 7.25 this evening. Nowhiner’s Sydney Swans vs Possum’s Essendon Bombers. Live from the SCG.
  5. It appears Royal has had ships in our region fro much longer than I would have imagined. The Champion of the Seas delivered passengers in Williamstown in 1854. Destination of their 75 day half world.
  6. I did Freo to Melb on Queen Elizabeth, port balcony. December 2019. No issues with the sun. Saw a lot of sea, but also some land. Went from Mel to HK on QM2 in a port side sheltered balcony. Again, got some land views in various places. I did not enjoy the sheltered balcony as much as it felt too enclosed and limited viewing opportunities.. although going into HK, I was able to look down and watch the pilot boarding from a fast launch as the captain was not slowing down.
  7. I have been going over some files from the last few months, so some birds. White face heron Eurasian coot and chick
  8. Early start today. Buddy has Swan’s only goal And just looking for empathy, between injury and Covid, the Eagles do not have enough listed players to fill the team, again. Bringing up players from the state league.
