I think my life is turning into some kind of soap opera and it's not Home and Away, it's becoming a cross between 7th Heaven and Judging Amy.

Saturdays is my coffee club meeting. I know, when did I become one of those people that have coffee with the same group every Saturday at the same time and at the same Cafe? Sundays is brunch group meeting - similar group, similar time, same Cafe. Like the goldfish in the ad, "certainty, Peter likes certainty". That's the great thing about having a 'local cafe', they know you, you know them - it's all very easy.

Last Sunday I spent the day at Jamberoo, (the Southern Highlands), with the 'ex', he was working. I sat on a large verandah writing and looking out over the fields down to the ocean while Kangaroos drank from a dam in front of me. A fantastic early Autumn day, it really is, along with Spring, my favourite time in Sydney.

I seem to be a week ahead of myself. In my mind I am going to Berry next weekend for Easter - Easter isn't for two weeks. I always get everywhere early but even for me that's a little extreme.

"Should of" said the Minister for Education, Julia Gillard. Perhaps she needs to sit the Literacy and Numeracy Test that the Govt. has introduced.

Off to see Travesties on Thursday night - I was supposed to go last week but I had one of 'those' issues.

I can not believe the fuss being made about a little Lesbian kiss on Home and Away and some of the readers comments in The Daily Telegraph. Here's one I prepared for you earlier, thank you Martha Stewart.

"I have watched Home and Away since l was very young...l often objected to the constant bed hopping in the show anyway.....everyone sleeping with each other is not a good thing for kids to watch,,,they take it as you can have as many bed partners you want!! Now they are going to push homosexuality? why? l often wonder why homosexuality is pushed so hard.....hetrosexuality is not constantly pushed into peoples faces..."

Thank you Sally Anne I have been wondering what was being pushed into my face for the last 50 odd years at the movies, on TV and in every book, magazine and poster I have been reading

Just when you think there is progress... still, when you consider the audience of Home and Away I shouldn't be surprised.

Why should it take one well known ... no I better not write that otherwise I may not get any more work with them ... but please send the cheque it's been over 75 days.

Q and A was very good last week on the Net Censorship trials. Poor Stephen Conroy took a bit of a battering. Andrew Bolt is a piece of work, but then I think the same about Piers Ackerman and Miranda Devine. It frightens me sometimes when I actually agree with them. They say that even a broken clock is right twice a day.

That's enough for today don't you think?

p.s. What is the deal with 'booking fees' for tickets when you book over the internet. I do all the work, I don't waste anyones time, I'm not talking to anyone, my credit card is instantly billed, I pick up my tickets on the night at the theatre - who actualy gets the fee and why? Surely the Promoter is paying a fee to the booking agency as well. It's a puzzlement.
