from a student perspective...

Australia - My concern is the view held by my H.S. students. They see Trump as a bad joke, a source of ridicule. They know more about Trump's day to day antics than they know of Australia's PM (some can't name the latter). So, the future? How will these students view future US?

different protests...

Sidetracks like this one are sweet laughs in this crazy world... My little furball is currently giving me 'the backside' because she is far from keen on her dinner tonight... At least her protest is a little quieter than your Riley's...

Sighing a little for wanders through Seawinds, Arthurs Seat in September... a traditional wander for me each spring and autumn... But this year... only maybe... It's nearby, but nearby enough for my 5km lockdown limit???? pic.twitter.com/KL2NhC97KN

Perhaps one of the strangest examples of Mother Nature in control must be mangroves growing on an abandoned ship in Homebush Bay, Sydney... (This is explained in the above article...) pic.twitter.com/GiLYRy5sK9

what makes us happy...

PASSING THOUGHT: Perhaps this covid event has done us all a favour. It has peeled back our unstable, 'civilised' veneer of what makes us happy, and challenges us to dig deep, to fly high and really know what our happiness should be all about. pic.twitter.com/a2PUcCu8bb
