Phone Tapping, Religious Trekking

The Phone Just Rang. It is 2 AM, I'm the only one up. there was no-one there, just a beeping. high pitched 1 second long and 2 seconds apart. i stayed on for a few seconds but hung up. then picked up phone again to see if there was a dialtone - nothing for a second then they "it" hung up.

Maybe I've been bugged.

On a completely different tangent, here in Aus there's a (smallish) group of people walking from Granville to Sydney right now to remember something that happened 2000 years ago, whilst in Iraq people are walking for 2 days (Baghdad to Karbala) in memory of the death of Imam Hussein. Two important religious historical events.

Blood - Rich, lively red, giving life, love, surging, soaring, in intricate streams.
            Blood - Seeking food, and air, and water, rushing, desperate, in need.
                        Blood - Spilt flowing, savage pulsating vicious enraged, dying.

Birds who don't sing

Birds aren't learning to sing anymore. The city is drowning their tunes. Like concrete killing the shades of green and red, the noise of cars and people are taking away their thousands of songs.

If you go down to the Show today.

Whilst the rest of the states schools were finishing up the term yesterday, Students from St. Columba's High School, in the Blue Mountains, just west of Sydney, were enjoying the first day of 2 and a half weeks of freedom. With the school being closed to allow teachers to pack up and clear out for the extensive maintenance and rewiring taking place over the next few weeks, students took advantage of their early leave and flocked in droves to Sydneys Royal Easter Show, hoping to avoid the massive crowds which come with the Easter long weekend.
The Show is a display of the great diversity within Australia, and an opportunity for many Sydneysiders to experience a small part of Australian rural life.
