Less than two weeks until I go to India.

I am thinking about planning some interviews while I am there, for an upcoming podcast series I am creating here in Sydney about Health and Lifestyle.

India is a truly fascinating country.

Ideas are only germinating at the moment… in the meanwhile, a cat photo.

This is Ollie.

He is my six-month-old ragdoll kitten and extraordinarily mischievous.

Autumn around Sydney Harbour

These are the moments that take us from the heat of summer to the relative cool of winter.

Hailing from the northern hemisphere, our autumn days here seem very heady and summery.

Wondering where the madness of Brexit will go next?

I love the UK, and having been brought up in Scotland and England in about equal measure, I feel an affinity to both.

I’ve lived around half my life in sunny Australia now.  So I am clearly a bit of a mongrel (in the nicest sense).

I would have been a ‘remainer’ with the UK vote, but now just would like it all to be over… for everyone’s sake, including us watching public.

How do those News Editor’s and commentators come up with anything new to say (barring of course May’s potential resignation offer yesterday).

The sadness is that our world seems to be more polarised than it has been for some time.

I have friends who love Trump and loathe Trump.

Jacinda Ahern said today it’s all about ‘humanity’ not domestic issues or ethnicity at the Christchurch memorial ceremony.

I think we need a little dose more of those thoughts around politics generally…

On a lighter note, I have ordered several beautiful full length cotton dresses to take with me to India, and am currently trying out three different pairs of ‘comfy’ shoes to walk around in.

I’m not necessarily of the ‘comfy’ ilk generally.  Yet, I would not call myself vain (ha ha).

Plus, I have ordered a new body for my camera.

A Nikon DX750.  It seems to cover all my needs and I can use my existing lenses, speedlights etc with it.

Photos will follow with the new kit….

Coming soon, my adventure in India.

I’m not venturing out solo but with a small group tour with Intrepid Travel, whose photograph I have used above.

A classic tour around Rajasthan.

Cannot wait for the excitement to begin!

Love yourself – health, wealth and kindness

Can you remember seeing this?  Were you even alive when it happened?  I was a little girl in 1969 and can’t remember any of it ‘live’ but have seen countless re-runs since.

It must have been really exciting to be part of the build up and then to see Neil Armstrong take those first steps.  Apparently NASA is recruiting new astronauts with plans to get someone to Mars by the 2030’s. Incredible

Think you have what it takes to become an astronaut? NASA is hiring. https://t.co/aOngRNXppM pic.twitter.com/rUvFGKZFLQ

Quite a few of the predictions foreseen in fairly recent times have come true.  George Orwell’s 1984 foretold the prevalence of CCTV all over the planet,and the collection of (meta) data about us all through government institutions. Internet providers gathering every last bit of information about us and regular wiretapping echo ideas about keeping tabs on the ‘proles’ (population).  But goodbye News of the World (UK) and hello Edward Snowden showing that it isn’t all a one-way street…

The planet isn’t overrun by airborne cars flying Jetson style all over the place…more’s the pity.

But we do have high speed trains that run via magnetic levitation.  The Shanghai Maglev reaches an eye watering 500kms/hour.  I often (well sometimes) wonder if people feel sick when moving so fast?

Personally, I’d like the invention of a transformer that can ‘beam me up Scotty’ and get me safely to where I want to go (anywhere on this planet is fine, I’ll leave interstellar travel to someone else at this point…).

No more jet lag, no more stressing about getting on a plane.  Just instant travel.

Clearly, a great deal of potential to end up in a shrunken state like Mike Teavee

after being processed through the airwaves in Mr Wonka’s factory or even worse… but hopefully there will be a pill to numb any pre-transformer anxiety and another one to get rid of the potential nightmare ‘hangover’ that total body disintegration then reformation might bring about. I wonder if Magnesium tablets would help? They are pretty useful after a work-out.

One more to beam up Mr Scot

So, what invention would you like to see come about in YOUR lifetime to make your world a better place?
