The irony that is Riverfire…

Am I the only person that thinks Riverfire is weird?

“What a lovely river we live on – let’s dump tonnes of toxic crap into the environment to celebrate it!”

Bizarre – Carbon offset or not.

Day trip with dad

Seems odd posting about ‘normal life’ in the middle of everything that’s going on at the moment, but my daughter and I had a great day trip yesterday afternoon and I wanted to share!

My partner had an appointment for most of the afternoon, which meant that I had to keep our little one entertained all by myself for around 5 hours (the longest period that she’s ever been away from mum).

The little angel made it pretty easy by falling asleep before I even dropped my partner off, and then proceeded to stay asleep while I drove for the next hour and a half! We ended up at Noosa (by which time she had woken up), where we stopped in for a short black and a babychino.

Dad and T

Afterwards we went for a walk along the boardwalk near the beach and stopped off for a short picnic, before heading back home.

All in all it was a great day (and the first that my holiday has felt like a holiday)!

Avaaz petition reaches 1 million signatures (and rising)

Actually, it’s over 1.1 million now.  We’re hoping to increase this number between now and the Global Day of Action on Monday 31st March, after which the petition will be delivered to Chinese government representatives around the world.
