We were walking down the main street of a rural town when we stopped outside of a cafe to read the message, that had been handwritten in chalk.
It read: ‘Coffee spelled backwards is eeffoc and I don’t give an eeffoc until I have had my coffee!’
A Long Drop
We were staying in a caravan park when we first noticed campers using tents, perched upon their vehicles, presumably in which to sleep.
This had led Tiki to comment, ”Imagine what it would be like to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and forget that you were so far off the ground?”
“Now that really would be a ‘long-drop’!” I quipped.
In some outback areas of Australia, where there is no proper sewerage, people dig deep holes, known colloquially as ‘long-drops’.
The Climate Has Always Changed And Will Continue To Do So
Sydney has just experienced an April with the most maxima above 20 degrees Celsius since the corresponding month in the year of 1914.
The climate has always changed in a cyclical manner and will continue to do so.
I believe that if people are going to be hysterically fearful — the eruption of a Third World War aside — they should be far more concerned about the amount of plastic micro-beads that have accumulated in our oceans and waterways. Thereby, entering our food chain.
