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...
Shama is curled up on my desk, up close and personal to my keyboard; and Remy has stolen my computer chair while I sit upon an uncomfortable one! What's new? ;)
ReplyDeleteAwww...but.....what a way to go.
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling well.
ReplyDeleteMerle................
How sweet. I remember when I had a cat :)
ReplyDeleteLee; what's new is Angel hasn't immobilised my arms like this for quite a while. He usually jumps up, looks at the space between me and the keyboard, then curls up beside it.
ReplyDeleteDelores; it was nice for a while, but he's a warm and heavy cat and I needed lunch.
Merle; it's a good feeling.
Margaret-whiteangel; it's something never forgotten.
The rat doesn't have to go to Las Vegas to gamble, he lives in a gambling town where you are treated better.
ReplyDeleteMiss Frankie does that to me all.the.time. Lies right across my right wrist making movement impossible. She yells at me if I try to my hand. Now if you would only learn to lie on my left arm, all would be well.
ReplyDelete... Hi Angel.... I hope you move so Mum can have her lunch..... you're a good boy...* pat pat pat*
ReplyDeleteHi River ...I do hope you are all refreshed and no longer hungry.. hehehe.....have a good day..
Hugs ..Barb xxx
Angel would not make a good snack!
ReplyDeleteI miss kitty cuddles terribly, give Angel an extra from me please.
I'd say that's a nice problem to have :-)
ReplyDeleteBBC; I knew that, just thought he was getting a change of scenery.
ReplyDeleteGrace; all cats are alike it seems. Angel takes up half the table. Of course it's a small table anyway, but still, he's a big boy.
barbara; he did move off eventually, I mentioned brushing, since he seemed prepared to just lie there, but he doesn't like to be brushed much so off he went.
Jacquelineand....no, he's way too furry; bad enough I get mouthfuls of cat fluff (not literally) every time I pat him.
Kathy G; much nicer in winter, but he doesn't come for cuddles as often as he used to, so I didn't mind too much.
