Reblogging this repost from our friend in Australia just ahead of Two’s Day because I enjoyed it so much. It’s all there (but, sadly, Stephen Hawking is now deceased).

I am writing this blog in English and German because my friends speak English and German. Ich schreibe auf Deutsch und Englisch, weil meine Freunde Deutsch und Englisch sprechen.

Maria, on another subject, I thought I’d mention a new Australian novel by Justin Smith “Cooper Not Out” because we both grew up with summer cricket in the background. It is a delightful story set in 1980s about a country policeman who ends up playing for Australia in a Test Match. I’m not sure if it’s available overseas yet, no obligation of course, but I did enjoy reading it.

Good call, Gretchen! Thanks for telling me about it. I was reading Dave Astor’s blog post the other day about Australian authors and he was asking ‘who else?’ I thought of you. You’d have a good long list!

I pasted in a link to Dave’s blog post in case you are interested to see what people pick out of the wealth of writers (Australian or with an Australian theme). I found a few surprises. Here’s the link again
