A heated steering wheel is a luxury I am quite fond of.

I needed some comfort TV so Iβm watching The Room. Been years since Iβve watched it and it still delivers.
I watched it for the first time the other week, enjoyed it, liked the actor from Six Feet.
Everybody betray me! I fed up with this world!
I looked up The Room. That was an interesting rabbit hole.
Itβs fine cinema, highly recommend
Absolute kino
Watched the first speech last night of the new member for Melbourne, Sarah Witty. (From 5h40m41s)
It was a moving and notably principled speech, and I think she could be a source of much needed leftward pressure on federal Labor behind the scenes.
okay, that's one item crossed off my to do list
how many left?
at least ten but it's like an open ended list that is for the week
Today I have been listening to Los Fabulosos Tres Paraguayos album Besame https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-2C9_vG4cw
I knew all the songs . Spanish and Brazilian music was huge in the 50s and 60s . I grew up watching I Love Lucy and Desi and his band would play all the Spanish classics
so here's some really good music from Desi and band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfZd_IXnQu4
Looking at different kinds of coral to ID a beach find I'm now thinking about getting an aquarium. A nice really big salt water one that can have a reef . ( but it will have to wait )
And the coral is a large polyp stony coral, maybe a Button coral , I just don't know exactly and can't find detailed information.
I have a vague recollection that James Cook University in Qld does a lot of marine research - might be worthwhile contacting them????? They might be able to put you in touch with people who id corals a lot.
Thanks, I'll try that one on line.
