WASHED-OUT

When the cyclone invaded Queensland

It blew bananas away

And Australia is feeling

The loss until today.

Nearly all our bananas

Came from the Sunshine State,

But each and every plantation

Was battered about by Fate.

Now bananas are so expensive

(The few that do appear)

That we don't expect banana feasts

Any time this year.

These bananas may look yellow,

As bananas did of old,

But believe me their true colour

Is very expensive

GOLD!

A TOASTY TREAT

Shameless Rosella!

Attacking my morning toast

While I am blinded by the glory of your plumage!

Introducing my two clowns. Harry came to practise a speech for tomorrow, and Max behaved perfectly while he was doing it, so both of them got a false nose as a prize! They're really quite good-looking boys!

On the subject of Public Speaking something great came my way last week. My son's school, which is a Performing Arts High School, asked me to teach Public Speaking in a lunch hour. The children (12 year-olds) were so lively, enthusiastic and involved that it was an absolute pleasure. They're drama students so they have a head start. I can't wait to go back again!
