Who would have thought the Peeling Peeling Paint Appreciation Society would have so many fans When I’m feeling flat, there are a number of groups which I turn to for a bit of inspiration. I am for example, a member of a lot of beautiful nature -based groups such as the Cloud Appreciation Society , Waterfalls of Tasmania, the Citizen Scientists, ones about Birds, Fungi, Auroras , Geology, Bees, Birds with Threatening Auras and the Moss Appreciation Society, There are also quite a few community groups and things like the Rail Trails and abandoned industrial sites . There are also funny ones like the Leunig or The Far -side Collections, or witty, pithy quotes and put downs by former Prime Minister, Paul Keating and subtly funny ones like Mistranslations, Misheard Lyrics and funny signs, or those like the Grammar Police , to which I just signed up my sister. Oldest son is a member of both the Dull Men’s Club (1.3 M members) and the Lawn Appreciation Society. You’d be surprised
