Have not done a lot, needed a break from mowing and gardening.
Last Thursday had to go to the skin cancer clinic for a checkup, the doctor found nothing. Put the last scene from kit 8 on the golliwog quilt. It took me 3 months to do this one. Will work more on this quilt, had planned to have it finished within a year when I started, but how can plans work out differently.
Queensland is in election mode not for the State government or federal but local councils. We will be going to Logan City Council and the division were I live, needs a new councillor. One of my neighbours is running for council. Only thing I cannot vote, still not naturalised, maybe in future.
Here in Australia we have more politicians then anywhere else. Too much government. There is Federal, State and local government.
The system they use, is so complicated, have problems to understand it. It is district representation. You have first, second, third etc etc choice. You have to number every person on the ballotpaper.
The votes are sorted first on the first choice. Then they start looking at the second choice. So someone, people are voting for and is in second place can still win because he get then second choice. So it goes with all the votes till they have a winner.
This is doing the rounds at the moment with those forward emails. Don't you love them!!!!!!!!!

This is a very interesting blog, but this quote is not true. Apart from anything else, there are not that many parliamentarians in Canberra. I believe it is copied from the USA- http://www.snopes.com/politics/crime/congress.asp
