About

Conversations, wine, coffee and socks are nice too.

For the most part this tumblelog isn't a beacon of erudition however occasionally I post serious entries about healthcare and the image of nursing.

I have a surprising number of fashion and chaps related posts.

I run Space Rules, contribute to We Come From A Sunburnt Country a tumblr about Australia and a tumblr dedicated to gastronomic atrocities of the past called Aspic And Other Delights .

Currently living in Port Hedland and working in South Hedland, Western Australia at the regional hospital.

Ask a question.

Work, save, fight and so avenge the nurses!

(unknown artist ; poster ; made: c. 1943-45) ; photolithograph, coloured inks on paper ; 50.2 x 63 cm) ARTV09088

Poster calling for revenge for Japanese war crime of sinking the clearly marked Hospital ship, Centaur, off the Queensland coast in 1943.

Australian War Memorial:

…286 lives were lost, including 11 out of 12 nurses. The poster depicts moments after the ship was torpedoed; it sunk in just three minutes.

I’m glad we won.
