My wife Amy has been looking for an au pair to join our family for a year. Our youngest is about to be 3 which is the age we got an au pair for our oldest five years ago. Anyway, when Amy was describing to me the South African girl who she selected, she told me that she was reminded of Catherine O’Malley, a friend of ours from Australia.
Catherine had a great, fun personality with a real spirit. But, one of the most memorable things about her is that she used to be a County Agent in Australia for an area that included Parkes, a small rural community in New South Wales. This little community played an unexpected role in televising the moon landing in 1967. Based on the true story, the movie The Dish starring Sam Neill and Patrick Warburton is an unexpected delight. It’s my recommendation this week.
Enjoy.
