My blog has gone on holidays

My blog is on holidays until Monday, January 6, 2025.

While my blog is having a break I am catching up on various projects which I want to advance to finality in 2025.

Our macroeconomics textbook will come out with a second edition in early 2026 and we are working on that now.

I am going to finalise my degrowth, delinking, decolonisation book with Louisa Connors in 2025.

And I have various other projects to finish which ware being supported by Australian Research Council grant funding.

I am also aiming to reduce my Parkrun time and on Xmas day was hard at it as the photo attests.

I am trying to prove that age is a state of mind.

So far, the empirical world is challenging my conjecture (-:

And it might look stressful but it is actually my version of fun!

Anyway, with all these beaches and nature around, there is a lot of bike riding, swimming, surfing, hiking and running happening.

Thanks to all the readers and commentators for the year.

The next instalment of the Smith Family Manga will be on January 13, 2025.

That will be Episode 10 of 12 in Season 2, which has focused on the Smith Family and the children in the neighbourhood and the local school.

Season 3 is in planning stage at present and we will promise some fun and games will be rehearsed.

A new government is likely and some unexpected policies will emerge – I think (-:
