a visit to the pub

Did, actually, stand in the bar of a local 'public house'. Not something that i normally do. The price of alcohol is beyond my budget ..... stood, listened to real people, young people ... a very young boy playing with his iPhone? - mother discussing what to do with young boys, husband looking bemused, but patient.

What's the word .. millenials?? .... was fascinated ... have no actual, or direct experience of  "family life" as a "grandfather".

Stood, was fascinated, then bought a few more beers. Wavered, then decided that alcohol is not good for my lower leg stability, or minuscule budget ... wandered off home.

(might also be fudging the anecdote a bit .... heh).

Debra, while yep, i do understand the basic premise behind the notion of "Commonwealth" - it does not mean 'communism' - but might include 'community' ... many people are confused about these words and what they mean.

I see your cockatoo below, quite the beautiful fellow. I hope he flies far and wide with his mates and never finds himself in a cage!

Erk, Anne ... posted the image of the Australian "Yellow crested cockatoo" as a sort of wry joke. They really are 'raucous pests' for some.

Debra, if you ever come back and comment here ... will be waiting (we may not agree on several stances - but will not argue with you on your 'comment' platform .. ok?
