Kylie or Danni?

Dannii Minogue’s first radio interview as a poster was on my breakfast show when “Love & Kisses” came out from her first album. Although I was also first to get the import copies of Kylie Minogue singles to play before anyone else, I’m a Danni Minogue fan. But I do recommend Kylie and Danni singing “Sisters Are Doing It for Themselves” from Young Talent Time. Go watch it now.

Can’t Stop the Music or Spice World?

This is a thorny and difficult question that philosophers have pondered about for years, like Catholic or Anglican? Kirk or Picard? Although New Year’s Eve wouldn’t be the same without 9 screening Can’t Stop the Music.

Focus on Survival “Engaging and emotional! The book is not only touching, but also historically accurate as well. ‘Focus on Survival’ is ideal for readers who want to read historical fiction about the person toll of World War 11,” Review by Pacific Books.

Julie Bayl, from Cowra, is the author of ‘Focus on Survival’, a book based on true stories about the war time as told to her by Marlene Bayl, her mother-in-law.

“After many long conversations, not-taking and much research I began to pen their exciting and heart warming story. A story that needs to be told, not simply as an historical record but as an

inspiring true story of courage, resilience, and ingenuity,” said Julie.

A Focus on Survival: A young family’s struggle to survive World War 11 is about Ben, a successful third generation photographer who prepares to stand against his establishment. Together with his wife Em they show incredible courage and artful deception as they play, cat and mouse, with the Nazis, assisting the underground with forged passports, utilising the black market and against all odds succeeding as winners.

Julie has perfectly crafted love, hate, peace, fear, family struggles and excitement all into her book, all while capturing what it was like for an ordinary family surviving war. The book inspires us and shows us the strength of the human spirit.

If you would like to know more, you can head to Julie’s website here: http://www. focusonsurvivalbook.com/

Granny Smith Apple 1868 If it weren’t for Maria Ann ‘Granny’ Smith’s keen eye we may never have known the tart flavour and crisp green flesh of arguably the world’s best cooking apple.

Local orchardists began cultivating ‘Smith’s Seedlings’ as it was known and in 1891 it took out top honours for cooking apples at the Castle Hill Agricultural and Horticultural Show.

An accidental variety, the ‘Granny Smith’ is thought to have originated from the French crab apples and was discovered by Granny Smith as a seedling on her NSW property in Ryde.

A few years later the newly named ‘Granny Smith’ was approved for export and has been grown commercially, and in Aussie backyards ever since.
