I
have had so much to do I have not had time to blog.
Also
I have been transfixed by our Prime Mister who gave an Australian award to the
Duke of Edinburgh. I thought someone was pulling my leg when I first heard
about it – but it is true.
It
is impossible to explain the inappropriateness and unadulterated awfulness of
this to a non-Australian - so I will not try.
It
will suffice to say that Tony Abbott has cemented his place in history as a brainless,
steaming, honking plonker of epic proportions.
In
the meantime Cate is still plowing along on the walk thing. She had to do a stress
test to get a medical certificate and sign a form saying if she dropped dead it
was her own fault – which of course it is.
She is going to fundraise for the David
Sheldrick Trust which looks after elephants – as far as I can see mainly
orphaned ones – of which there are many.
National Geographic says that poachers have
killed 100,000 elephants in the last three years.
Whenever I see stuff like this I am reminded of the late great George Carlin.
He said something like:
‘Look around you and see what is happening in
the world. Does this look like the work of a supreme being. To me it looks more
like the work of an office temp with a bad attitude.’
Raising money for elephants is a veRy good thing. I wonder if Mr Snuffleupagus needs help?
ReplyDeleteesb: I am suggesting this name for Cate's page.
ReplyDeleteThat is a staggering number.
ReplyDeleteNot everyone has a working brain. And I seem to meet a lot of the non working ones.
The whole knight/dame thing is a joke...worse than the "Nobel Peace Prize*"
ReplyDeleteWho cares...It's like getting a "Best Improver" award ... No-one cares but the underachieving parents.
As for the elephants...Good on her.
*may be awarded to presidents waging war :)
fmcgmccllc: There are many more than there should be.
ReplyDeleteKeegan88: The award things is nonsense and should have been allowed to die. Abbott is an idiot.
