I don’t do that much talking these days,
These days,
These days I seem to think a lot.

(J Browne, circa 1964)

Well, Julie at least does a bit of thinking these days.  And Julie thought it would be a good idea to do some thinking about the things we almost forgot about!

It wasn’t long ago that the internet was a mere foetus that hadn’t grown into the all encompassing, all revealing, all knowing panacea to everything we have (and don’t yet have).  And a blog wasn’t a term associated with influencers and people that craved to be heard, no matter what they had to say; rather it was a means to disseminate relevant information to be used beneficially (supposedly).  Basil

Speaking of relevance, albeit in a subjective manner.  The thinking Julie did related to re-surfacing some writings and scribblings from a time past; writings and scribblings erstwhile committed by pen to paper (no spell check, autocorrect or possibility to re-phrase in the pursuit of perfection).  These may or may not be of interest and/or provide any relief from any ennui you may or may not be feeling these days!

Tony’s Stories – (Now) Old Tony’s be around a bit!  Came from the Netherlands and for a Dutch bloke has seen pretty much all of Australia. Over the years, without any fanfare or advertisement and/or distribution to either the family or hoi polloi, old Tony has been quietly ruminating, albeit on both an ad hoc timeframe and subjects. Enjoy the musings, reflections and observations from someone who’s seen and experienced a bit! https://outbakkers.com/tonys-stories/
