Today is the day we say thank you to the woman who created us in her belly. Mothers love us more than anyone can and at the same time drive us completely mental. Even though I was the world’s most revolting teenager my mother would run in front of a train to save me. I’d do the same for my daughters, even though they think I’m bonkers and I make them crazy some days. I love you Mama. Thank you for having me and loving me. And for making your pavlova, no one has ever whipped up a pav better than you Barbara Pollard.

Happy Paddy’s Day parade
Posted: March 18, 2012 Filed under: SONGS, Theme Songs, Thought For the Day | Tags: Irish ancestors, Proud to be Irish, St Paddy's day parade, St patrick's Day, Summer In Siam, The Pogues Leave a commentTop of the morning to yer. This year I spent St Patrick’s Day dressed as a bright green and gold leprechaun with a mad bunch of Irish drunks quaffing Guinness at Randwick Racecourse. Oh what fun we had even though I was completely sober. My great grandmother Frances O’Shea was from Limerick so I figure it’s in the blood. Of course it was an Englishman, Edward Lear who made limericks popular in the modern world. To be sure. This is my favourite Irish band.

International Women’s Day
Posted: March 8, 2012 Filed under: Self improvement, SONGS, Theme Songs, Thought For the Day | Tags: 70s fashion, feminism, Helen Reddy, International Women's Day, Lillian Roxon Leave a commentWhen I was a young child this song was my introduction to feminism. I love the lyrics, apparently inspired by the Australian journalist Lillian Roxon (the mother of rock). Check out the stylin’ 70s fashion the ladies in the video are wearing. Thank you Helen Reddy.
