Show 140 – Next week, sorry
Hi all,
Show 140 will have to wait until next week. I spent yesterday handing out “How to Vote” cards and then scrutineering the count after the polls closed. Then I had to spend a good deal of last night trying to work out if people were as self-centred and stupid as I feared (unfortunately it appears those fears may have been justified – although nothing is finalised yet) so as a result, I haven’t had time to do an essay (or the ironing, or vacuuming, or any of those other weekend jobs). One ray of light though is that it appears that the Greens (that’s who I was doing stuff for yesterday) will hold the balance of power in the new Parliament, so perhaps we’ll see some intelligent and compassionate policies (although I’m not going to hold my breath).
To whet your appetites for next week – a package has arrived from The Unique Sheep” and I’ll hold off my curiosity and open it on the show next week.
So until then, Carpe Lanam.
Show 139 – Resistance
Politics this week.
Here’s the Greens’ ad. (Isn’t it nice that I don’t have to be balanced and include the others.)

About Sticks & String and me
G’day all. I’m David Reidy, an Australian bloke who lives in the Blue Mountains two hours west of Sydney, and knits and podcasts about knitting. Away from the sticks and string, I’m an astrophysicist who now teaches high school. In my knitting and podcasting endeavours I am assisted by my two Burmese cats, Tikka and Tiger.
The Sticks and String podcast appears weekly, so look for a new show each weekend.
