Read more: The Sydney Harbour Bridge - 90 years young on 19 March
Over the past two weeks or more, life has had a few problems, mostly caused by ups and downs. Staying on the level is paramount these days.
And, as it has turned out, a certain young ( not yet 90 years old) redheaded lady was brought down to earth with a bang. So let me tell you how it happened.

In the 1889-1892 pandemic, the Russian or Asiatic Flu killed more than 1,000,000 people worldwide, and today is thought to have been caused by human coronavirus OC43, so WuFlu is nothing new.
The 17th of March marks the date of the death of St Patrick, the patron Saint of Ireland. St Patrick was actually born in Britain but, when he was 16, he was kidnapped and taken to Ireland as a slave. It was about the year 415 and there was no kids helpline or social media available to send out a cry for help. So he planned and plotted and eventually managed to escape. Sadly, Paddy was no Houdini and he was sent off to France where he was introduced to Christianity.
I cannot help but wonder if America is on the brink of a second Civil War. But with a twist. Will it be a Civil War and a Revolution all rolled into one? All while World War III is brewing on the stove and the heat just keeps getting cranked up?
Americans are growing angry and frustrated that their Government is doing nothing but further push them into subjugation and a position of powerlessness.
The only real anti-war position on the Ukraine conflict is support for de-escalation, diplomacy, and detente. Yelling “PUTIN BAD” and calling for escalations that could lead to a very fast, very radioactive WWIII are not anti-war, and indeed such sentiments are being exploited to prolong this war.
Imagine if, in early 2020, the Australian people had been told that a new disease, COVID-19, would cause just over 200 deaths in Australia over the next two years. To respond it would be necessary to lock people in their homes, force them to wear masks, coerce them into getting an untested and dangerous inoculation to keep their jobs, create medical apartheid, lock the “unvaccinated” out of society, undermine the separation of powers by letting the Executive create rules instead of the Legislature, and suspend the laws of the land with state of emergency provisions.

The first Q drop was on October 28 2017, not 2015. The name Q wasnt even used until around drop 30. The first several hundred drops came on 4chan.
Qalerts.pub was simply an aggregation site for the 4chan posts to make it easier for normies to get to as 4chan is notoriously difficult to use for some.
Q's main mission was to awaken the general public to what is going on behind the scenes of the media and in government. But mostly, the media.
OK, I know you will all think that I am bonkers. But this is what happened.
My Mum, Redhead, is in a wealth of pain right now. Her leg has decided to be a literal pain in the arse and she is not a happy camper. But she got a message from beyond the sea. From my Dad. And he has told her that he cares.

I was a young lady of about 12 years and my Mum, Redhead, was asked to do something that today would be unthinkable.To escort 25 young people through the perils of a train trip from Auckland to Christchurch in New Zealand.
It was 1968.
She was the sole adult in charge of young fencers from the North Island of New Zealand all bound to stab and joust,slash and parry; out manouvre and out play their opponents at the New Zealand Fencing competitions. I would become a fencer the next year but that is another story.
What on earth made her agree to such a task? Today, it would be unthinkable.
Someone asking a parent to do something so risky? " Oh, hullo, Mrs Redhead, would you mind spending a few days supervising 25 horny teenagers while they travel by train to a fencing championship met together at the other end of the country? Yes? Great! Here's your ticket! "
Redhead readily rose to the challenge and left me and Dad at home to sort things out in her absence. While I am not sure what instructions she left, I have no doubt that it included such things as be good, be kind and be yourselves.
And be cautious.
