From Perth, Australia, a non-profit idea that rebuilds war torn places. Definitely worth donating to. Crisis Construction. Maybe the new 'peace organisation' being formed by the American government regime will take note, as will Tony Blair.

Always fancied one of these, a curiosity cabinet
This photo is from a visit we made to the family when they were holidaying in Whitby. Our rather plump and getting old Lucy was climbing the steps (not the199 steps) but steps from the small beach. And it reminded me of trying to get her up the three flights of stairs to the apartment the family had rented.
Lucy was reluctant to go up the stairs. In other words she refused. People came out of their apartments to encourage her on, one person even brought out ham to tempt. But no go, until my daughter marched down the stairs picked up a very heavy Lucy and carried her up the stairs, vowing she would never do it again.
Though Whitby is the 'in' place to bring your dog on holiday, it is rather steep in places.

Not very funny but passable
A blue sky for once. I noticed something gleaming above the roof line, it was a heron. Hardly to be seen in the photo. Maybe it is the one that occasionally sits beneath the bridge on the way to the bus station. But it sat there for sometime sunning itself.
Those poor people that have lost so much. I don't know how those neighborhoods will recover. I hope these mobile construction units will be able to help. What a tragedy.
ReplyDeleteBut we can give them hope as new houses are built. It will take forever of course Ellen.
DeletePoor Lucy! Olga got reluctant to climb stairs when she was older, but she would eventually do it. I only had to carry her a handful of times!
ReplyDeleteLucy was a rescue at 8 years old. She was a 'failed' gundog and had lived in Portugal for a time but definitely had her own personality Steve.
