The Chocolate Factory...

Starting at 7:30 tonight on SBS,
has been a slow TV (3 hour) programme called
'The Chocolate Factory: Inside Cadbury Australia'...
It's mesmerising...

Haunting music, by Caitlin Yeo and Amanda Brown in the background,
tantalises the visual senses of colour and slow movement...

machines - on the road and in the factory -  seem to synchronise
and become one with the pulses of the music...

and this human spirit feels some peace...
some welcome peace...

Well done SBS....
The world needs some time out...

P.S. 8 surprising facts about Australia's Cadbury chocolate

procrastination can be a busy time...

It's a banquet of wind and rain today...
Ideal for procrastinating about another school programme I should be writing...
(I have done one these holidays and the 'not long' prophesy evolved into 12+ hours...maybe more)
So, I have posted a remote learning challenge to teachers/students on my Teen Waves blog,
posted my Ken Follett 'World Without End' reading adventures on my MP2020 blog,
written a haiku,
answered a student's question on Edmodo
and scoured the Twitter spaces to follow someone in worlds that I know nothing about...
(just because... I like to learn and appreciate)...

I found the truckie world in the Northern Territory...
I found BoutaNT

'World Without End'...

I am reading Ken Follett's 'World Without End' set in medieval Kingsbridge...Currently up to page 864... 'He returned to his drawing and sat staring at it without seeing it for a long time...' At this stage in the novel, the plague is devastating Europe... So very different? pic.twitter.com/MgjSLhl9Cw
