This is my new favourite song. It's a great song on it's own, but the video just adds so much more to it. It makes me feel happy and it makes me want to be brave!
A piece of exciting news from today ...
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled that Japan’s so called ‘scientific whaling’ program breaks international law and must stop.
Over the last 25 years, more than 10,000 whales have been killed in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary by Japanese whalers.
That ends today.
The judgments of the ICJ have binding force and are without appeal.
Thank you and congratulations to everyone who stood up for the whales! This is a huge victory.
We had a big storm here on Sunday afternoon. The dread was palpable from the moment we spotted the dark clouds, to when we checked the Bureau of Meteorology website to follow the path of the storm, to when it actually hit and for the 20 minutes after it was over.
The fear welled deep inside us as we sat on the couch holding hands and waiting for it to pass.
When we felt safe again, Adoring Husband said to me "Are we ever going to get over this?"
Post Traumatic Stress = Anxiety = Fear
I know that there are others in town, whose homes were damaged in last year's tornado, who are also still suffering from that trauma.
I also know that there are people in town who did not suffer damage, or who were out of town at the time, and who cannot comprehend our fear and think that we should be 'over it' by now.
Now I have to decide whether to watch "Mrs Robinson" or go to bed!
Nite all.
