Life is stupidly tiring and busy at the mo'. Lex is refusing to sleep, which woldn't be so bad but he insists we don't sleep either. So here is a mostly pre-written post I've been meaning to get up for ages.

Way back in January I did the Interview Meme. As it stood, I still had a bunch of questions to answer, I answered most of them at the

Re gender differences... I know it's a combination of genetics and environment, but I have been surprised the last few weeks at the difference between the boys and girls at playgroup who are mostly older than Clara.

And I would vote for you as prime minister :)

I had fun with the montage. And anything that requires someone doing mean things to me has to feature Mitch.

I'd really need to get in with full power though. Wouldn't get the vast majority of what needed to be done going in without it. The two big problems of politicians - aiming to please the city-folk when so much of our primary industry in the country needs help, and no long-term planning, which pretty much goes together, and ends up screwing both the city and country folk in the long run.

There has literally been a 70% drop in dairy farms in the last 12 months around Cohuna/Echuca. They don't have the water, so they can't produce the feed for the cattle, which means they're buying hay from places like South Australia and paying a fortune for it. Milk companies are paying them less for milk, so most are ending up heavily in debt and

I love the montage! That's cheered me right up tonight. (Now, if only I could explain it to Sparrow...)
