I live in a culturally diverse area. In my street alone, there are your typical Anglo-Celt Aussies, a Sudanese family, a Muslim family and a Sikh family
In the nearly three decades I've lived here, I've rarely seen an hijab. Today I saw what seemed to be a woman in full burqa, walking along the foot path with a young man at her side. If the family is that conservative, she would not be permitted to leave the house alone.

I think that experience alone justifies getting up this morning.
Good on yer. I came to the conclusion long ago that chief key to my essential happiness is minding my own bloody business.
