Dear Mr Rudd

We know Ignatious Blanchett-Upton did his best to represent the "Teens in 2020" group at this weekend's summit but we hope he didn't miss out on expressing the "big ideas" of this group of his constituents:

More bananas, bananas, bananas, bananas, bananas, bananas......

We need a girl for President (of our Australian Republic, by 2020).

Everybody (but especially kids) needs to paint, draw, dance, sing and make music.

Autumn is creating ever changing colour waves in our garden, and there's been no wind or rain to blow the leaves to the ground.

Rob & I missed the big 2020 Summit weekend, visiting Coogee instead where it was cool and showery. We checked out Oxford St Paddington on Saturday: the Markets at the historical Paddington Uniting Church, coffee and panini at Love Supreme & Sourdough Sisters Bakery, and window shopping Sass & Bide, Scanlon & Theodore, Dotti, Joshua and Sean, Sweet Art and all the other big names along Oxford St.

We found "The Secret of the Grain" was showing at the old but hip Verona Cinema and spent an enthralling (nearly three hours) absolutely immersed in this wonderful French film about a family of Tunisian immigrants and "the couscous" (this is an extreme summary)!


We were so moved we had to stop off at Little Istanbul (up at the Spot) later that night for Middle Eastern food. Although we found the food wonderful there was no mullet couscous nor any sighting of the wondrous Rym (Hafsia Herzi) and her amazing, life saving belly dance.

Ignatius. Such an unfortunate name. Reminds me of Ignatius J Reilly, anti hero of 'Confederacy of Dunces'.

The trees are looking beautiful Judy, I'm very jealous! Spring is self-consciously edging it's way toward London -- in the last two weeks we have seen some blossoms deciding it was was well and truly time to say goodbye to Winter. I am right behind the blossoms.
