I got a surprise today. My good lady wifey was out doing a mobility instruction thingy. That's when her mobility instructor takes her over the bit of ground that she is learning.
The children and myself were to walk to the shops and get some bits and pieces.
In my last post I posted about a letter I wrote to my local member of parliament regarding the whole gay marriage thingy. I never expected to hear back from him. Well, you can imagine my surprise when my mobile phone rang and it was the politician on the other end. he was returning my call and assuring me that he would support heterosexual marriage as being the only model.
It does pay to write to our members of parliament. yes, you may get ignored. But I really do think it is important to vote in all election. You get the politicians you vote for and if you don't vote then you can't complain when they don't follow your wishes.
This " Gays to protest for equal rights at the Australian Open" makes interesting reading. Margaret Court has caused this uproar. Margaret is one of West Australia's greats in the tennis world. She is also a pastor of a church in W.A. She is also opposed to gay marriage. The idea is that protesters want to flood the Australian Open Tennis with a sea of rainbow flags. Seems it's not working. I drive trains down that way. It's held just near Richmond station. Not a rainbow flag in sight. All I saw was Australian flags. Guess that shows what we all think doesn't it?
Till next time..........
