WORLD FARM ANIMALS DAY
“Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.” - Albert Schweitzer
I had another very busy day today, which started with a presentation I had to give to the annual meeting of one of the societies of Medical Radiation professionals. It all went very well, everyone enjoyed it and I was invited back to present at next year’s meeting. Then back home where I had an appointment with a painter who gave us a quote for a painting and repair job to be done and then I went out and had a bit of a break. The evening was lovely and passed with some wonderful music, nice food and a cuddle.
We had the Australian Rules football final replay today, which Collingwood won easily, shaming the worse side St Kilda. I am not a football fan, however, I did watch some of the game, wincing all the while as St Kilda were so bad…
Today is World Farm Animals Day, so here is a sweet little video to celebrate the day:
I have been blogging daily on this platform for several years now. It is surprising that I have persisted as the world is changing and "microblogging" is now the norm. I blog to amuse myself, make comment on current affairs, externalise some of my creativity, keep notes on things that interest me, learn something new and to surprise myself with things that I discover about this wonderful, and sometimes crazy, world we live in.
I sometimes get the impression that I am on a soapbox delivering a monologue, so your comments are welcome.
What a beautiful video Nic!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about his comemorative!!! I think it's wonderful.
I love this hymn, Nicholas!
ReplyDeleteIt's a very fitting tribute to Farm Animals Day. I seem to have missed that one but I was away...
