		<title>Anti-Baillieu flyers spotted this morning around Bentleigh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These anonymous flyers appear to have popped up overnight (at least I didn&#8217;t spot them yesterday) around Bentleigh station. (Note another similar pink one in the background on the small pole opposite.)

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago I noted that the Glen Eira News local council newsletter featured six photos of the mayor in twelve pages.

		<title>Anti-pigeon defences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And now for something completely different: anti-pigeon defences. Pigeons can get everywhere, making nests, leaving droppings. These ones seem very interested in the next trains from Caulfield. It&#8217;s probably gone mostly unnoticed, but over the past few years, various methods to prevent them roosting have become commonplace. In the case of Caulfield station, they&#8217;ve put [...]]]></description>

		<title>Australia Day thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy Australia Day. Some thoughts: 1. Spotted this morning, some glorious Australia Day supermarket multiculturalism: 2. I was a Flag Monitor in grade 6. Along with my mate Mark, we put the flag up on the school flag pole. Apart from a minor hitch on the first day when it went up upside down for [...]]]></description>
