Tomorrow morning my bride and I go sailing on some big plastic looking cruise liner otherwise known as the Pacific Dawn. We are set to roam the Pacific without access to phones or the web for 12 days all as part of the celebration of our enduring and enjoying each other’s company in married bliss for 40 years.

It must be a sign of true love that I would contemplate such a plan in the middle of a Federal Election. Either that or I didn’t know when it would be called but either way I am looking forward to the time off .

I’ll be back on line on the 5th of August and trust that I will return to the revelation that, at last, the media are calling the ALPGreens to order on all their tomfoolery.

I’m on holiday – I’m allowed to dream.
