Today I ........

Yesterday I was shocked at what unfolded at Bondi Junction Westfield. I haven't stopped watching the news. It hits home harder knowing how close to home that was, and seeing footage of people we know who were caught up in it, but are thankfully safe.
My retinal specialist is behind the Myers side of Westfield Bondi Junction.
Prayers go out to the 9 month old girl who is in ICU after being stabbed, and her father whose wife died after being stabbed. An absolute tragedy.

Today i had the flu and larest covid booster. One in each arm. And apart for no side affects, now both arms ache. Good luck me sleeping on my back, as my face won't be happening!
 
Today as I turn 40 I’ve been sort of reflecting and wondering how the hell the past 20 years have flown by so quickly. The picture below was taken at my 20th birthday celebration and while it definitely looks 20 years old, I still remember it like it was yesterday.

Bit more on that story. They were probably imported for a distributor and somehow went astray. Probably not donated to the Mission as a malicious act thankfully.

Today my partner and I went for our usual walk around the park.
It's a haven for all types for birdlife; black swans, geese, parquets, cockatoo's - black and white, crested pigeons, ibis, coots and all sorts of other pond/lake birds I'm not sure of what they're called.
There is a 3KPM speed limit, and "normal" people stop, slow down , avoid any type of bird or birds, crossing the road. Sometimes one at a time sometimes in large groups.
Today while we were walking, about 15/20 coots were crossing the road to get back to the water when a car going way faster than 3KPM came down the road, didn't slow down and ran straight into them! It was horrifying to see. The bastard drove on having had no intention of slowing down or stopping. There was no way he wouldn't have been able to see them. I yelled "arsehole" after him - for want of something better to yell at the thoughtless ****!
The few that were hit, thankfully went under the car, not under the wheels. I'm shocked that someone could be so effing ignorant. 😢

That's terrible. There are some truly awful people around these days.

I've felt upset about it all afternoon. Those birds were so beautiful. I'd have been devastated if any of them had been squashed. If we'd have been quicker and less surprised we could have got his number plate and reported it to the Ranger.
I've never seen so many wandering around in a group. It was probably because it was raining and there weren't as many people walking or jogging.
