Hiroshima moves on?...

A confronting, 2013 article by @ccohanlon. Read it slowly; let the words sink deep.
'There are the yellow tags that indicate the gnarled, stunted trees, mostly Australian eucalypts and wattles, that still survive the blast, 58 years on, within a kilometer of the hypocenter.' https://t.co/cxseipaDo6

A wealth of informative images are beautifully presented in this article via a skilled wordsmith. The horror of  'that day' lingers on...

I wonder about the mention of those 2 Australian trees - staunch survivors...Why? Why those trees?

'flash mobbing' the countryside...

This gate art puts a whole new spin on the concept of wood carving...
Beyond the chainsaw, love the shading achieved with the controlled flame...
A gate with personality... 'flash mobbing' the countryside...
Simply superb... https://t.co/SPpcJA08Mf

first day of lockdown...again...

PASSING THOUGHT: After my rugged reaction to Victoria's lockdown news yesterday, followed by a scramble to change lesson plans+a sound night's sleep, I faced the remote learning challenge of a 6 period day- Google Meets+lots of emails...

All the background organisation for a 'snap' 6 period day - including changed lesson plans, ensuring the Google Calendar had the correct Google Meet scheduled + a flurry of emails to students reminding them to check lesson details on SEQTA- tends to be rather intimidating...not to mention quite exhausting...Always double-check for errors...

But it all worked out and flowed smoothly...Well, almost...One student decided to close a Google Meet a somewhat earlier than I intended...Just a little detective work and I found the culprit...There has to be one...
