Click up both images to enlargeIn today’s paper there is a follow-up article with a graphic explaining how waste water is refined and placed in the aquifer for further filtration. In the same paper a letter to the editor tells us that it is impossible to filter out hormones and consumers will ingest them as do battery chickens. As it happens Australian battery chickens have not been fed hormones for some 20 years. The hormone for growth story is still around as an urban myth. At the moment just 6% of Perth's waste water is used to recharge our groundwater reserves.
Here is a scan of adverts on the back page of a theatre programme from 1961. Ads have certainly changed since then. Western Australia has also changed. In 1961 there was only one major brewery in W.A. and most of the beer drunk flowed from the Swan Brewery. The advert did not even mention the Swan Brewery but in one of the sketched there is a bottle of Swan Lager on a table. Subtle eh?
Today is John Wayne’s birthday. His epitaph featured a piece that he himself wrote. Nice!
"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself into our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday."
Last Thursday was just four months since my Joan died.

Kev, It seems much longer than 4 months. It's 10 months since Had died and some days it seems like yesterday. On a lighter note ,if you have read any biggles books, you will know that if you strain your own urine through a sock you can drink it, If we all did that imagine the water that we could save through not having to flush,,Of course the price of socks would sky rocket,,.What about the special toilets that are used at some outback camping sites?they don't use water and don't pollute the countryside, why can't we all have those in our backyard.?Why do we waste water on golf courses , football , cricket fields and parks? We shouldn.t be wasting water on grass.., Why don't we bring the water down from up North...........Marg
I love John Wayne's saying, we all could learn a lesson from these words. Four months that Joan has been pain free, hope you are doing well..:-)
