In the Sunday Mail (Adelaide’s Sunday newspaper) By Melissa Leong “I wonder if we’re losing our capability for rational discussion” There’s no question that the world is in the toilet right now. And I mean right at the bottom of the bowl, you know? Sure, as long as there have been people on the planet, we’ve had or issues. But at present it certainly feels as though things have hit a fever pitch that only dogs and bats should be able to hear. As such, I don’t think anyone can be blamed for being a little (or a lot) up in arms, From the atrocities of war and political injustice to social inequality; tragedy and environmental disaster, there’s a lot to be angry, sad and confused about, that’s for sure.

Lee; he's very easy to listen to, with your feet up and eyes closed.

DeleteI'm good with sponge cakes too and don't understand how people can say they're too hard to make. My recipe is so easy, my kids mastered it by high school age.
DeleteThis man has a beautiful voice..
ReplyDeleteSigh. Goosebumps...
ReplyDeleteMargaret-whiteangel; yes, he does and I have another one by him on the list.
ReplyDeleteVicki; emotional? or are you cold? :)
