For where else could the potentially earth-shattering […] |
| Monday: thinking about the meaning of life | The terrible devastation and loss of life in the bushfires is dreadful to say the least. To comment on it in any meaningful way seems impossible while the event is still unfolding. And I think I’ll leave that to others more knowledgeable than I. Reading the coverage in the paper this morning over breakfast was […] |
