...but let's face it, that wouldn't take much after yesterday. In fact, it was just one of those days where I didn't seem to really slow down, until about now. After some administrative chores early on, I went to the city to catch up with a colleague from Japan; back home to finalise papers for an AGM this evening and then onto rehearsal...such was the plan.
The AGM was a group I've been a member of for some 15 years or so now. It is the Australasian Study of Parliaments Group, a part of an Australia-wide network of people interested in the workings of parliament, it brings together parliamentarians, academics, journalists, public servants, students and others who want to engage in the discussion of political institutions.
The meetings afford me the opportunity to under the freeway in the city. Photographically it offers the ultimate in gritty urban landscape--freeways.

The focus of tonight's work was a national radio program we are contributing to next week on the matter of improving civics education. We anticipate it will kick off a year of events and activities where we who appreciate these institutions will seek to encourage others to take up the interest too...like all who have a passion they wish to share with others. Yes, it is politics; the task is ahead of us.
Then it was off to rehearsal. That was the plan. I arrived to find no-one there...I've just learnt there was a change in plan and the band was rehearsing in the venue where we will play on Friday, over at Wavell Heights...they just forgot to tell the rest of us! Oh well, nothing like a dive right into a program....good thing today was a fast enough day. I'll be ready.
