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. I don’t know about you, but every day feels a bit like a powder keg waiting to blow at any given moment. As our patience wears thin on the issues we care about, I’m noticing that a new kind of worrying trend is rising in tandem. For the sake of our conversation, I’m going t...
Good luck. I hope the damage is kept to a minimum. We have had showers. And some thunder. Mostly very, very light rain.
ReplyDeleteCalm here now, but more rain to come.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; that's how we started before the first flash flood day. Hopefully you'll just get more rain, without the extremes. It's cold here too, I have my winter pjs on and my fluffy slippers.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; I know you're okay for now, but Sydney is experiencing storms like we are. I hope Merle is okay.
A fair bit of rain here for this time of year and it's not finished yet.
ReplyDeleteMerle.............
El Nino all over the world I guess, stay dry and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteStrange weather seems to be the order of the year.
ReplyDeleteWe are due for some rain, but hoping it doesn't come down in buckets!
ReplyDeleteHi River,
ReplyDeleteStrangely, that's the weather we are suffering from at this moment. Floods, gusts and endless rain!

We are in dire need of rain here in Southern California!!
ReplyDeleteMerle; we're having a dry day today, but the gardens are all wonderfully damp now and won't need watering for at least a week.
ReplyDeleteJoeh; always safe, not always dry. i don't mind getting rained on.
Joanne; and all over the world too.
linda Kay; look upward before you venture out, if you see buckets let me know, I could use a few.
Plasman; but it's winter there. Aren't you supposed to be buried in snow by now?
fishducky; come down and get some, we can spare you a bucket or two.
We're copping storms up this way, too. North of Brisbane copped it last night. We got some nice rain, and it's raining lightly again now, but it hasn't yet managed to get rid of the heat...it's so muggy. It's hard not to feel cranky in this weather! lol
ReplyDeleteOh dear me...we had flooding in some areas...more lightening lit more fires..
