Today was quite a stimulating day. I listened to ABC Radio National instead of ABC Radio Classic FM.

I listened to part three of the Boyer Lectures which was on at 1pm. It was about changing attitudes of Australians to the United Kingdom. It was quite interesting to hear about Antipodean sojourns to the 'homeland'. You can read more about that here - LINK
