Some sort of Australian Duck I saw at Blackheath a week ago - Maalie will tell me what it is. 


I have had the feeling over the weekend that there are many people out there in pain. They are sick or they have suffered loss or they are just plain hungover.
I get these feelings because I am enormously sensitive. I get a tingle in my clavicle when a butterfly dies in the forest - or when a bee cannot find the right flower.
You would be surprised how often this happens and how my body tingles so. It is actually a relief for me in winter when the bees are not so active. 
Any by the way - did you know that there are actually plants that kill bees? 
God must have been having an off day to make bees and flowers and then have the flowers kill the bees. Maybe he had just been to a Tea Party meeting.

Doesn’t seem like a good idea to me but perhaps there is a larger plan of which I am not aware. 
Anyway - I have decided to pray for all those who are suffering - and - because I am an Atheist - I have to be creative about prayer - so this week I am praying to Julia Gillard. 
I am asking Julia to make things better for ALL of you - even those miserable bastards who used to read my blog and can longer be bothered (and who could blame you?)
The praying starts tonight and you will know if I am successful if things get better for you - or if Tony Abbot combusts spontaneously at the launch of the Liberal Party election campaign. 
If you have anything particular you need me to pray for please leave a comment on the blog.
