Tonight I unloaded the dishwasher which my husband had set going earlier - three dirty plates out of a very sparse load. Already cranky about having written nothing, I swore to myself and ran a sinkful of hot sudsy water, plugged in a podcast about the rediscovery of Hitler's Horses and set to, laying out tea towels along the bench once the drainer was full. I even dried up and put everything away. I look forward to walking into the clean kitchen in the morning and knowing that I don't even have to unpack the dishwasher. And I think my husband will enjoy the story of the Dutch Art Detective and Hitler's Horses.

I get cranky too if I can’t write anything postable for a few days. Saw the review of this book in ‘The Weekend Australian’; hearing a podcast would be preferable to reading a 277 page book —

It was a lovely conversation with Richard Fidler. Lots of humour. If the Dutch guy writes anything like he speaks, the book may be enjoyable too. But yes, I certainly appreciated a summarized version that could entertain me while I washed up.

music or podcasts in your case make washing up almost an enjoyable exercise 🙂

Ah where would the ABC be without authors to flog their books in all sorts of interviews on our fine non commercial radio broadcaster

Lol. Only the books from the big publishers, according to my writer friend. An author taken on by Penguin is far more likely to find his/her way onto the ABC than from a small publisher, even if said author has been nominated for the Prime Minister’s award for said book. But I do feel sorry for the ABC. Gov’t cuts and gov’t threats of more gov’t cuts. It’s not an easy time to be “non commercial”. Unis are struggling too.

Been an observation I’ve made over time, there’s always a tagline to end an interview no matter what the local time is for the interviewee, lol

I’m old enough to reckon we, as taxpayers should pay more tax to make the ABC free of the need to prostitute itself to commercial interests, and more so with the disgraceful situation we have allowed to develop as far as tertiary education.

I agree they should get more funds. I just don’t trust the distributors of tax to use the money for that purpose.
