A look at Mary Shelley (M)
Mary Shelley lived an extraordinary life not only because of her writing but also because of her love for the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. She fell in love with the poet when she was just 16 and ran away with him on foot and on mules through France to Switzerland. Their time together was difficult not only because he was married with a little son at the time and exacerbated through his inability to conserve his finances as they sunk into poverty. Mary lost a child to pneumonia when she, Percy and her half-sister Claire Clairmont raced through the rain and fog to evade the clutches of creditors. Continue reading

WAFL round 15

The alignment between East Perth and West Coast will finish at the end of the season, West Perth is broke, there’s talk of mergers but best of all the Perth Demons are playing the kind of footy that might just mean they’ll participate in the finals for the first time since 1997.

Wrap of Bendigo footy, round 12
Strathfieldsaye and Gisborne posted the vital wins in Bendigo football’s mid-winter round on Saturday. The Storm consolidated top spot on the BFNL ladder with a 23-point win over third-placed Kyneton while the Gardiner Reserve Dogs kept their September hopes flickering by downing second-placed Eaglehawk. Gisborne crept over the line by four points after leading by the same margin at half-time. The other three games were predictably one-sided: Golden Square restricted Castlemaine to a single goal to run out massive 206-point winners, Sandhurst smashed home side Kangaroo Flat by 121 points while in the closest result of that trio South Bendigo accounted for a much improved Maryborough by 43 points.
