Leunig lost...

I too am now an 'un fan' of Leunig...I loved his cartoons for their fresh and vibrant, often fantastical view of the world...(See below)...But now, there is such a bitter, self-indulgent, callous, sour twist in so many of his cartoons which I simply cannot endorse... pic.twitter.com/DxVQI6U7gY

connecting with family...

My daughter lives in NSW with her boys...I've not seen them for 2+ years...I live in Melbourne too, + simply am grateful NOT to visit them...My daughter feels the same way...She doesn't want to bring a virus to Melbourne, to me...But we chat...There's always a way to connect...

I'm thinking of World War scenarios= family at home+family fighting in far-off countries. All they had were letters for connection, for hope - that is if the letters weren't 'red taped' censored or lost. We've more opportunities to connect with pandemic-ruled family. We're lucky.

panic for sale...

Meanwhile, in supply-rattled England, panic is up for sale at many competitive rates...
Even a trade option is available...
British humour at its best in this thread, with a rather unsettling, serious undercurrent... https://t.co/aolfM3KpNz

I’ve got a market stall for it. I’m a panic merchant 😁👍

— Gary Black 💙 (@GaryBlack1970) September 27, 2021

Oh god you and me both. You can have a crate of panic with a side order of chronic pain thrown in. 2 for the price of 1 - it’s your lucky day 📦 x

Trade you some anxiety?

Would you do a part exchange for some despair?

I’ve already got enough stockpiled, but thank you 😂

STOP Day...

PASSING THOUGHT: If Sunday's my real Poet's Day (Poetry on Every Thoughtful Saga), then Monday's decidedly STOP (Scrambled Track of Pebbles) Day...
I cannot recall a single Monday where poetry just 'flows' or I feel inspired to add a creative thought to someone's post e.g. TODAY pic.twitter.com/plrxIWbwhl

Even in the ordinary, the humble, the alone, there can be something so enchanting, so beautiful...
