Brisbane Has Been Awarded The Olympic Games 2032...

 Brisbane Australia has now been awarded the Olympic Games for 2032 and so proud...so proud.

To be honest who really knows who amongst us will actually be around in 2032, anything can and often does happen that’s life as they say, but it’s an ongoing “thing” every four years for some country or other so ..well.. it might just as well be us here in Australia once again. Firstly in Melbourne in 1956...Sydney in 2000 and now 32 years later it will be our turn! 
 
With everything the world is going through lately we need something, anything really, to look forward to. It’s so wonderful for young children that can dream as they grow that maybe they will be able to enter The Olympics for their country; from any country around the world. It’s a great dream indeed.
 
It was indeed an exciting moment when it was announced from Tokyo. We all waited with baited breath and were rewarded with the win. It was well deserved.
 
Many of the facilities are already in place maybe with some refurbishment. The infrastructure that has been spoken off for many years now will finally go ahead. It will be a huge boost to not just the Queensland economy but a boost to our way of life in this sub tropical, fast growing, paradise we call home.
 
Shared between Brisbane, the Gold Coast and also the Sunshine Coast both one hour each way from central Brisbane. Can’t wait. A dream come true for many.
 
Well done Queensland...well done!  I hope I’m still here to enjoy the spectacle 😀

Trouble at both ends of the scale......

Firstly //    It's called "elder abuse" and it seems to be growing for some unexplainable reason.  In some cases it's neglect...pure and simple... but in most it's stealing money that isn't yours from parents that are not able to look after themselves, or their money, properly. Often without them even knowing until it's far too late. Maybe as money becomes tighter for some...but even then that's no excuse!  Just reading about a case locally where a son living in another state stole...yes stole... over a million dollars from his elderly mother. Transferring the money from her account over a period of a few years and also used her debit card in unauthorised purchases for his own use. Leaving her with very little in her bank account to survive. She had no idea until it was almost all gone. Really who can you trust if you can't trust your own family...beyond belief really isn't it but it seems this is a common occurrence. More common than we think.

Just day dreaming....

  Just a pleasant quiet place I like to sit and ponder on things. Where I've been, where I'm going, you know the usual stuff. Watching the world go by as I sit under the shade of a tree listening to the birds singing and appreciating life around me. It's been a long and often bumpy ride to where I am today and who knows what tomorrow may bring. All good things we hope. That's what I always say anyway...as I buy another lottery ticket!😊 There always has to be something to look forward to or what's the point.  There is so much sadness in the world right now I know. Has there ever been a time when there wasn't any sadness in the world. If there was, I can't remember just when. There are people still preaching the end of the world as we know it and the doomsday clock, as it's called, is ever approaching the bewitching hour. Should we be nervous...should we be scared? I guess so but we seem to have been living "on the edge" for so long now I guess

On a lighter note...

 Do you talk to your pet? Of course you do, everyone does, although some would not admit to it 😃 "How did you sleep?...have any dreams?" I ask as I uncover my parrot...YES parrot!! I know..I know..but we all do it 😏 "Just going out now...see you soon", as I leave the apartment, I call to a bewildered looking bird alone in her cage..sorry house...don't like the term cage...think I have mentioned that before. On return "Hello love👋👋," and met with screams of welcome home or in bird language it could just  mean ...LET ME OUT.....LET ME OUT you idiot leaving me alone...what are you thinking...expletive..expletive!!  Which of course I obey and once the welcome scratches and more talking has taken place, she takes up residence on the bed...or the lounge...or the drawer, whichever is the preference that moment. It changes constantly and I obey every command.  Well trained...me.. not the bird! Pets...what would life be without them. I know they are sometim
