Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss
Old Fat Furry Catpuss
Wake up and look at this thing that I bring
Wake up, be bright, be golden and light
Bagpuss, oh hear what I sing

Burnt out trees outside Kinglake that were destroyed by fire are viewed from this aerial shot on February 8, 2009. Over 170 people were killed and entire towns razed in one of the worst wildfire disasters in Australian history, sending thousands fleeing in scenes Prime Minister Kevin Rudd compared to “hell”.

gratitude: three good things

Inspired by my friend Wednesday, today I’m counting my blessings - just three little things that make my world sing.

1) My downstairs neighbour has finally turned the corner with her cello practice. I’m glad I didn’t complain when first she was screeching and sawing at the strings in a desperate tuneless frenzy, because it’s been a pleasure hearing her improve over the months. Today she played a very passable version of a favourite Bach piece and it was quite moving.

2) Thunder and lightning on a febrile evening: spectacle and drama from one’s own balcony.

3) A Christmas card from someone you’d lost touch with: the number of tiny actions it has taken for them to reach you makes the gesture all the lovelier
