Such fun. As an Aussie, I’d tend to categorise ‘Noo Yorkers’ as Intense, Unique and Fascinatingly Different. All revved up with lots of places to go. It’s always a pleasure peering into Your World.

And I’m guessing the Judge’s comments over the two years as being up around the 2000 mark! Icing on the cake served up by Cafe Anne. Thanks so much for expanding my world.

Thank you for your entry into the JRB comment count contest, Beth. Results in the next issue!

And thanks your kind words. Would love to hear your thoughts on what makes a real Aussie.

An innocent comment but I’ve stewed over it all week long... What makes a typical Aussie? We like to think we’re laidback larrikins, but we’re as divided as America unfortunately. We’re in a very embarrassing place at the moment. We want to acknowledge the previous custodians of our land by including reference to them in our Constitution but the division that has become apparent is scary. Yeah, we’re laidback and laconic, as long as you agree with us. Sigh...
