Oh dear, I am indeed feeling washed out today after hearing of the discovery of the raped and murdered body of a young Melbourne woman who went missing on her way home the other night. The news is always appalling and I can barely listen to it. Steven Pinker reckons the world is a better place than it's ever been. That may be so, but it's still pretty awful. Even talk about the cruel treatment of Australian sheep in Pakistan makes me ill.
You young women, do take care. NEVER walk home alone in the early hours of the morning. It's a stupid risk to take.
I took this photo just now as hanging out the washing is actually my favourite household chore. I love the feel of clean sheets and towels straight from the line. I do wish everybody could enjoy the simple pleasures of life, and not feel the need to rape, murder, rob, bash, kill, etc.
