G’day Petals,Further pleasant serendipity from France but in Wombat Droppings the spectacle of having to watch the wheels fall off.

Co-incidence again perhaps but when having a look through
some of the French images which still need post processing I discover that I’m
looking at stuff whose shooting dates are within a couple of days of the
anniversary of when they was taken.

| Jailly, Burgundy |
It was a day of just meandering about the Nievre district of
Burgundy and making little discoveries like the ruins of the Chateau de Passy
les-Tours which figures in Jeanne d’Arc’s siege of la Charitie in 1429.....
 |
| La Charitie-sur-Loire |
...and the
former Benedictine Priory of St. Sylvestre’s at Jailly, a small C11th-12th
church, unfinished, which according to local romantic folk lore was built by
fairies leaving a “empreinte melancholie” and to the cow that saved a church
from fire at St. Saulge....

| St. Sylvestre’s at Jailly |

| Lurcy-le- Bourg |
.... and finding the list of Cure’s dating from 1580 at Lurcy-le- Bourg and on to the op shop in Premery

| Forest, Jailly |
All of which sort of makes the Melbournian appellation,
“Jeff’s Shed” for the convention centre a trifle prosaic.
And some from a recent performance shoot for BTA.

Wombat Droppings or Low Down Politics in Oz
Prime Miniature “Rabbutt-the-Hun’s” muck-raking Royal
Commissions are not quite working out as he and his malevolent rabble had
planned.
It is difficult not to come to the conclusion they are just
monumentally vindictive political exercises and a gross waste of money.
The case of the “investigation” into the Unions
particularly, is more likely to bite back at the accusers. The fact that police
had been informed of certain activities and have not acted; then comes the
statement to the Royal Commission that inducements were offered to “Get
Gillard”… and the Royal Commissioner who is investigating events of 20 years
ago says that this evidence from 5 years ago is not relevant! Or that the
ruling made by the commissioner relating to cross-examination of witnesses
bears more resemblance to “ordeal by fire” or “Ducking.”
All would seem not relevant to what appears an a-priori
judgement and a serious diminution of the standing Royal commissions can have.
The Sharks are circling main witness Kathy Jackson.... and
"Phone-Card" Reith may be in the water, too... anyone smell
blood yet?
The wheels are falling off.
Another bad look was “Slippery” Pete’s accuser James “He
Spoke to me, He Spoke to Me” Ashby deciding not to press his case in the High
Court as it appeared it was going to open a real can of worms for both Chwissie
“The-Whyne-and-Perfect-Prat-of-a-Prefect” Pyne and the other player in this
malicious saga, Mal “The Mongrel” Brough. How does an ex DJ get a law firm to
waive/absorb its $1,000,000.00 fees? How is he going to pay for Slipper’s costs
that are likely to awarded against him?
The wheels are falling off.
Remember the fabled Labor Budget Crisis? Well Joe “Cereal-Toyota” Killer has made a
real Liarbril one in his first and only budget… a real doozie!
The Banking boys are now saying confidence within the
community is so bad that it is impacting on the economy. That, if “real” people
are fleeing retail and are saving more as they become more aware of the huge
shift in costs in health care as Medibank is dismantled and pensions
eviscerated with unemployment going up when education is being slashed then the
merde is really hitting the fan.
Mrs Wombat opined t’other day that the increase in Uni
fees just might be to the detriment of private schools. Parents having to make
a choice between an expensive secondary education for their social standing and
a very expensive tertiary one for their children’s future, may well choose the
latter as giving their children best opportunity.
When this comes to pass it will be wonderful to see how
these Liarbril, wrongly self proclaimed, “superb-economic-mangers” will argue
away the private school school bleatings about having to fold up and go
bankrupt for lack of clients and the remaining State schools are screaming in
need of more funds for their sudden intake of “privilege”.
Then, hearing a right-wing financial commentator on radio
express similar thoughts, you really do know…
The wheels are falling off.
On Q & A, last week (16th) the final question
of the night to Dee Madigan, Author and Advertising person…”Dee Madigan,
if you could offer one solution to turn around the un-sellable budget what
would it be?" Dee Madigan, "You can't. It's shit!"
The “right’ seem like socially undeveloped children;
terrified that someone is taking away their toys by welfare distribution.
Defence Minister, “What’s-‘is-Name” has decided that
another way of eliminating Unions is that tenders for new Naval craft will only
be offered to Spain and Korea, as our shipbuilding facilities are A/ not big
enough and B/ we are not competitive enough. That this will cripple the
shipbuilding workforce is of no concern to “Rabbutt-the-Hun” our “Infrastructure”
Prime Miniature.
The wheels are falling off.
“Rabbutt-the-Hun’s” daughter Frances Abbott makes a mess of
things…..
Channel Liarbril, 19:00: Episode #1243: " Lives of the
Entitled." Watch a lovely 24 yo have her daddy rescue her from a foolish
decision to "...be independent." And see the tribunal complaint
system subverted and the innocent party unjustly foot the bill!
19:30: "The Doleful Comedy Hour." Two teams of 20
per side battle physical challenges and each other for the prize of a single job.
Watch the losers digging the “Naptime” East–West Folly, in
the new series “Green Army Blues.” 10.30.
The wheels are falling off.
Then there was the news that security had been beefed up around the main suspects.... Abbott, Hockey, Pyne and Bishop and a demonstrator threw himself at Bishop's car hitting it with his banner... causing "Rabbutt" to bleat "How Un-Australian.." it all was... conveniently forgetting his own putting his fists through the wall, either side of the head of a woman who had defeated him in a student election....bloody hypocrite!

Let’s not mention the Middle Eastern mass Diplomatic
response to West Bank name changes or paying a sliding scale to have refugees
go back to their strife-ridden countries or “Tardis” State
(Where-All-Goes-Backward) Pretend Premier Dennis “Dodo” (Genus: Inutilus
Rusticus) Naptime giving the Chinese $25,000,000.00 for processing
Brown Coal and limiting Solar and Wind energy!
This, at a time when Germany is 70% renewables in its country’s
electricity production!
Hoo-roo Possums,
The wheels are falling off.... and there is trouble ahead.
