Thirty years ago today, when I was 31, I was diagnosed with AIDS. At that time, my life expectancy was less than a year. I am incredibly fortunate and grateful for the scientific miracle of antiretroviral treatment, and for the activists that fought for these life-saving drugs to be made available.

The players are women over 50. The oldest this year is 87. They took the field in South Africa for their "World Cup." One team was crowned the winner but all the players consider themselves champions.

Composer Olivier Messiaen was born on 10 December 1908. It is impossible ignore the influence of Messiaen’s synesthesia on his music, and what colour that music sets before us! What are your favourite Messiaen works and recordings?

Hahaha! Just passed a man with his dog. He looked at me, stopped and said "Gosh!" then apologised profusely."Sorry" he said "you reminded me of someone I loved many years ago as a kid; she did a kids' show on the telly called Magic something; but she must be dead!" "Oh yes" I said...I probably am! 😂

I have been meaning to post this good news story for a while - two months ago I joined a bunch of other volunteers to sample water from rivers and creeks throughout the Kiewa Valley in Victoria, which was then analysed for #platypus DNA. The results are very positive! #wildoz
