book article Oceania » Australia » Western Australia » Perth » Mosman Park
Oct 23 09. time passes. got an email form supporter telling of book being assembled and offering chance to be in it. "Flying the Flag". deadline oct 30. may not make it but the exercise to write the story of the designing of sc&b needed to be done. hi to everybody. i am now in a waiting mode. waiting for rudd's referendum on republic, waiting for charles to become king which will inevitably stir the pot. cheers, fred [View Full Entry]

AUGUST Oceania » Australia » Western Australia » Perth » Mosman Park
august 09 time marches on. enjoying the perth 'winter' with sunny warm days and, when the clouds are about, warm nights. the only flag news is that a bloke placed a note next to me while i was on the computer at the library. 'you can make a movie for local television.' so my guess is he knows about the flag. will call tonight. truely wish there was more to tell. frequently get asked how its going but my reply is that there is nothing happening and i don't have any ideas.

QUIET Oceania » Australia » Western Australia » Perth » Mosman Park
QUIET. my thought today is that if i don't blog for too long the whole thing will be deleted. so hello everybody. saw dennis cometti at the pub in cottesloe. gave him the flag rap and a few stickers. told him to give one to eddie macguire. dennis said eddie was a republican for sure. not holding my breath but.

june 1 09. awestruck by white puffs of nimbus blue-grey behind and above that clear blue dubbayu ai (W.A.) sky: a crystal dream; still on first day of winter. and it's foundation day that oddment of our history when white people first set up their irrestible rule. here now claremont quiet holiday the non happening of being there where those of who call this home know how lucky we are. because the weather is every day and this is as good as it gets. for months, four months. i love the striking stillness: red leaves rocking, moving on autumnal trees whose [View Full Entry]

25-5-09. BATHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bathers done. not perfect but a great start. sent attachment to jurgen to see if he would put the photo on flagoz homepage. kate modelled them. they fit her perfectly. that tall slender small breast body type so currently the perfect model. and she took out the redeye in a blink. these 21st-century kids make me feel stupid. otherwise have been stopped several times and asked 'are the flag guy?' one was the prettiest girl at the pub. she ooozed that youthful vigour. and wanted a sticker for her car. said 'keep going'. i'm trying. just still can't figure [View Full Entry]

may 13 09. i have seen the bathers. yes, dear reader it's true. well almost. the bottom is finished with the southern cross on the front. the top is cut and alligned with the gold boomerang and green. just needs a back and some stitching. may even be finished as i type. next to find a model to fit the size, take the photo and list it on 'picasa' on website. it might even be worthy of putting on front page of website in the space where the flag is at the bottom. otherwise, health problems persist. the only flag news [View Full Entry]

april 22-09 the most sublime april weather. yesterday swam in swanbourne. the water was warmest its been all year! today showers signal start of some wet weather. we're planting on the gaia reserve on sunday so hopefully it will really rain before then. still waiting on bathers. next plan is to do some youtube clips for the website. really all's quiet. rudd says republic must wait til next term. he's too busy with economic problems. bob brown called for the recomendations of the 2020 summit to be implemented but nobody's listening to him. personally i'm washing windows, playing bridge and sta [View Full Entry]

march 26, 09. have been having health issues which now look to be under control. it can be a very energy sapping experience. flag news is that the woman who was doing the bathers seems to have hit a block as she can't find any bathers in stores as its autumn. maybe she'll find something at the op shop. told her not to stress as this has been an idea for five years so no rush. still seeing stickers around town. some of them are incredibly old and in good shape. sadly many of the newer versions aren't as durable. autumn [View Full Entry]
