It's fantastic to catch up but also great to return to normal after the visit too.
I think I'd wear jarmies all the time if they were more socially acceptable.
Same to you, and good luck at school if you are teaching today!
I'm not going to comment on that one Gil XD
But I will say that I hope she rugs up well and takes an umbrella!
What do you have planned for the day?

Hope the two of you are having a fantastic day.![]()
Yeah, yeah, yeah but it will be back here soon.
no thoughts so far. Great to have our first female...
what remains to be seen is her skills as a leader of a country (much like with any other PM) and if there are any major policy changes or implications for Labor now that she is in charge
I (being an educator) am already a bit iffy on her stance on Education...... so it will interesting to see what she decides to do and implement.
I'm keen to see when she calls for the next scheduled election and if Labor get voted back in.
(HEAPS of people in responses on other websites etc all claim 'but we didn't Vote for Julia to be PM... blah blah blah' - yes you idiots, you didn't actually vote for Kevin either, you vote for a party and they get to choose who they front as the leader - they only people to vote for either Kevin or Julia are the people in their electorate.
Ok rant over)
It will be interesting nevertheless to see how it all goes down
I think Australia is ready for a female prime minister-but not so sure we're ready for a blood nut prime minister! Does anyone remember the last female ranga political party leader we had in Australia? Julia has to be better than Pauline!
To my thinking the government has done some fantastic work to make Aussie a country to least suffer the financial down fall the world suffered, yes I know it was with the funds that the libs built but that was moneys stolen from education, health, pensions etc but it was there to save our country from what the rest of the world is suffering from now..
So you get all your information from the ABC, eh? The biggest lie in Australia - other than Gillard would front for the Bulldogs before stabbing Rudd in the back - is that Rudd saved us from the "worst depression the world has ever known since 1929." Bullshit. Worse than bullshit really, it's a cynical rewriting of history.
Since when does it make sense that Canberra is pumping in stimulus money to the economy while the RBA is repeatedly having to raise interest rates? You can imagine the thumping the ABC would have given Howard/Costello if they pulled such a cynical stunt. But Rudd and Swan got a total pass. So the economically illiterate amongst us imagine Rudd "saved us" from a global economic down turn. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The blooming bloody mining export boom to fuel China's growth is what saved our arses, that, and the fact that our banks are the best managed in the world. There was never any crisis to start with in Australia or China. Aussies had to take their money to overseas investments to lose it.
So just who was Rudd stimulating?
All that "stolen" future fund money was stolen back by union contractor stimulus graft. Basically, Howard funded Labor cronies. Oh, the irony! Now every shire in rural Australia as a new 500 meter sidewalk to nowhere plus a new shed or two. Good on ya, Rudd.
Fact is, that Howard couldn't have spent the money he put into the future fund on infrastructure because the country was at full employment and the economy expanding rapidly. Interest rates and inflation were already stepping up and the ABC screamed bloody murder at every rise. Howard had to ANTI-stimulate the economy.
Funny you don't hear much media-driven angst over recent repeat interest rate rises much nowadays? I wonder when the Greatest Great Depression is gonna end?
Good morning Australia. A cold and chilly 7.30am here in central Victoria.
