When is a falcon not a falcon?

Graham likes bubbles – who knew? (actually several wineries in the King Valley now know). Two words of the week – Galloway (relating to the height of horses), and Aptronym – a name which accords with the profession or other attribute of the named person. Both are getting through their respective books but are not fast readers. Jack recommends a movie that teaches you the difference between a falcon and a goshawk (and which strangely doesn't involve Sir David Attenborough narrating) and a couple of TV series about pianos, and (an English) House of Cards. For Graham it has been a long time between series 1 and series 2 of one of his favourite shows (23 years in fact!) – even if it is a show which would not have taken Graham as a contestant….. Graham listens to a podcast about the CIA nobbling Engalnds 1970 World Cup campaign while Jack sees through it as an excuse for the perennial failure of the English football team. Jack is on the “50-years-since….” train and has been listening to "Frampton Comes Alive" . He also recommends a new (to us) artist - Sienna Spiro and boasts of an upcoming night at the Sydney Opera House attending a Chris Botti concert. Going forward both will be spending hours in front of the TV watching the Football World Cup, and Graham will be cataloguing all his recent wine purchases.
