Hi Everyone

Sorry, I havn’t blogged for a long time. I have been in hell, as I have been diagnosed with a frozen shoulder. Simply, that means you can’t even put your undies on without screaming or crying in pain. Anyway, its been a fun journey of isolation, frustration, loneliness, agony, boredom, depression, and thousands of hours of lying on my back watching dramas you cant get either legally or on free-to-air stations in Australia.

So here’s what I recommend for anyone who needs to get over themselves:

Well-written Independent  Television Series

1. Madmen
2. True Blood
3. The Shield
4. Californication
5. The Wire
6. Deadwood
7. Gossip Girl
8. Skins
9. Six Feet Under

Strangely enough, as my assistant writes my blog for me, I now realise that all these good shows are in fact about Communities, large, small, wealthy, old, new, urban, literate, illiterate, criminal, and very very human. These stories have kept me from sinking.

Now that I have an assistant, my blogging is going to speed up and we will bring you updates on communities, through images  and anecdotes from the countryside.
