Sigh… My partner’s car was stolen the day before yesterday. It’s such a shame that a person works hard and does good deeds and then something like this happens. Don’t car thieves know about bad karma???
We’re doing our best to be grateful for what and who we have in our lives, though.
For example, I was fortunate to attend an interesting lecture last night and join in a dinner afterwards with a great group of scholars and artists. My partner and I went to Phillip Island recently to see the Penguin Parade. We were freezing, admission was expensive, and not as many penguins showed up as expected, but it was still pretty cool to see wildlife in their natural habitats. On the way to see the penguins we stopped by Caldermeade Farm, which was on the South Gippsland Highway. We got to watch farmers milk Holstein cows and later pet the baby cows.

I thought the posting for Wednesday, April 30, 2008 titled “The most underrated country in the world” at http://blogs.theage.com.au/travel/archives/the_backpackers/ was interesting, particularly the readers’ comments afterwards.
The sun just came out - yay! The gloomy, cold, rainy weather has been getting to me. Sun = run!
