I think I have shared before about some of the crazy things we see on local television out here. The ad for flying sheep selling drench (parasite medicine for sheep) is particularly memorable for all the wrong reasons. Less memorable are ads for local businesses that play late at night. I don’t really think I need to drive two hours to see the wide range of crystals and candles, or ugg boots etc.

What I find most amusing are the “news updates” – and I use the inverted commas intentionally. Recent updates include Wagga Wagga (2 hour drive away) getting a new mobile coffee van, and a local hospital having an open day.

I get that not much happens out here (and that is a great thing), but there is so much happening out in the world. Surely there are things worth talking about, besides coffee vans!?

What passes for news around your place?
