So, the new year is no longer all that fresh and unspoilt- it seems we've managed a whole lot already…..
A broken monstrosity on a rock, 12 days of 2012 and almost 1 Friday the 13th (but I guess, it is unwise to sell the sausage before the pig is caught- ours get caught on Tuesday next week……we'll introduce them properly, in due course), whales close to the Kaikoura coast, some other, less fortunate whales got so close to land, they met their Farewell Spit….so much going on I don't know where to start!!
Did you know, the outfit that hired the skipper on that Greek wreck (no, I'm not referring to their national economy) "only" saved around $30k by choosing not to install a system, that would've beeped furiously about 10min before impact- just because they don't have to!! How do you spell moral obligation in Greek?? Well, you're right, it could've been a Swiss ship…….theoretically!?
Theoretically, we've flown to the moon and yet some relatively straightforward mechanisms aren't in place! What will it take??
Music is what keeps it all together- for me anyway.
