I've been loving the Word of Mouth column in Saturday's Age so much of late that it didn't occur to me that the words "This is Annie Smithers' last column" might appear this week, if indeed ever. Bugger.
So pleased, then, that I felt it necessary some weeks ago to start clipping and saving my favourites, 'cos the Age's A2 section isn't published online* and today's column, about the Hungry Gap between the colder months, was a beauty. Wish I could share. Perfect reading on this wintry election day.
*Well, not as far as I can tell. If you have to google anything for more than a few minutes, it ain't there, I say.
