Federal Election Day

As we had lodged absentee votes in St George, we didn’t have to line up in the pouring rain. Instead we had breakfast with a friend, satisfying Blue’s need to socialise with one of his human friends.

We put the air conditioning on to heat our house to reduce the risk of mould developing during this latest rain event at the Gold Coast. Blue and Tilly continued their rough and tumble games, while we pottered. If the weather had been better we might have enjoyed more of the Blues on Broadbeach Music Festival. Over 150,000 visitors were expected to visit the Gold Coast to attend the festival. Those who came have had to contend with the weather and inevitable program changes and cancelled shows.

Anita had threatened to slash her wrists if ScMo was re-elected, so I had another reason for being very happy with the outcome. The prospect of Dutton becoming the Leader of the Opposition is both good and bad – good because it will mean the Libs failed to understand why so many Teals and Greens were elected, and they reduce their chances of being elected next time around. The bad is Dutton will be on our TVs way too often!
