It’s a beautifully sunny day. Although, being Melbourne the changes came qucikly and while it rained for a bit earlier, and then got windy before becoming cloudy, it is now sunny again but the wind has continued to blow. Tress is away on a dental appointment and I’m just pottering around the house, also getting some food ready for the usual Saturday night do in Alex’s later tonight.
Tress’ parents will now be visiting on their own. Uncle Mak and his wife have for some reason, changed their minds about coming. I guess they are more comfortable in familiar surroundings. I think they dont travel much and the thought of travelling down under for 2 weeks is too big a trip for them. Ah well, too bad for them. It does mean easier logistics for us but I would have cherished their visit.
China is at it again – the contaminated milk fiasco is a bit sick. I suppose it will take a while for them to get over ther profit at all cost mentality. If they want to take over the role of economic leader, they must be more responsible. At the moment, they are just reprehensible. Great as the nation was in putting on a good show during the Olympics, the mentality of profit at all cost still prevails and that is not going to make them genuine world leaders just yet.
The financial market woes seem to have ebbed a bit but who knows. I hope it really has calmed down and we can look to more serene days ahead. I have always thought the hynger for growth at all cost is untenable but I’m just a layman, so who knows.
