This Dumb Blonde is everybody’s fool.

April 24th, 2026
This is a question that we are continually being asked, by restaurant staff, as well as taxi and Uber drivers.
Once we say “Australia” they are not only relieved but happy to chat.
I would hate to be a travelling Yank at the moment.
Their best answer might be “Canada”.
Australians, if you’re travelling overseas,wear one of these.

As we are travelling this year, we have found that because we speak English, many people assume we are Americans.
So due to ‘Donald Fuckwit’s’ erratic behaviour we need to very clearly and quickly point out that we aren’t Yanks and don’t support him.
Equally, you could be an American, who doesn’t agree with the idiot, so you also need to flag your preference.
The answer is simple, wear a badge, or anything that shows how you feel.
If you want to live in a circus, elect a clown.

It’s a sad indictment of Americans, that they have elected a clown, to turn their country into a circus.
The Iranians disliked the Yanks in 2014,
they won’t think any better of them now.

These posters were part of an anti US and Israeli exhibition that we visited in Yazd, Iran in 2014.
I only captured the anti US ones as they were better.
Tunisian posters that will wet your appetite.

As we were driving around Tunisia, on our two week adventure, I came across these ads for pasta.
They are simple, bold and very eye catching. Plus the talent look like real people who are thoroughly enjoying their meal.
The translation of the headline is “Wow”
They certainly made me want to have pasta for dinner.
You’re fired.

It can’t happen soon enough.
How Apple made Notes even better.
March 10th, 2026
We’re travelling again and I’ve always loved using Notes to write my blogs when we do.
I can write them on my phone and they automatically turn up on my computer.
But now I’ve discovered that Notes is even better, because I can actually dictate what I want to say, directly into my phone, so there is a lot less typing required.
It’s just like the old days, when you had a personal secretary, who would take dictation and then type it all up for you.
I know this feature has been around for a while but how good is it?
Tees, a great way to express an idea.
February 15th, 2026Around 2008 I discovered the fun of designing and printing my own T-Shirts.
I have made countless ones since then and still get a lot of pleasure from it.
Seeing your work in print has always been a tremendous reward for creative people.
One of the best parts about publishing them myself is that there are no clients or suits dictating what they should say or what they should look like.
Tees are worn by so many people, young and old, and can simply express an idea, sell a product or even tell a joke.
Below are some of the Tees that I have made over the years.
Christmas.
Covid.
Friends.
Melbourne.
Music.
Personal.
Political.
Product.
Religion.
Travel.
Donald, you’ve ducked it again.

Failed again Duckwit.
