12/2/2009 - * good *
Ok, so we need to focus again on the good. And there are some really (dare I say it) heartwarming things happening in the aftermath of the bushfires.
1. $49 MILLION DOLLARS so far raised for the bushfire vicitims from private donations. ONYA AUSSIES - talk about a corker of a whip round! And as much as I think COLES stink, the fact that they set up donations points via all their cash registers made it much easier to pop some money to the Red Cross, so they redeemed theselves slightly there. And the profit donation from all shopping tomorrow - nice one!
2. Sam the Koala - yeah yeah, I know EVERYONE has seen the footage now, but MAN it is soooo freaking cute the way she put her paw in Mr Tree-the-fiery's hand.
3. The little kid at the recovery centre who was interviewed on SkyNews last night, who was asked if it was a good day that the cricketers came to visit. And if meeting Ricky Ponting was good. The kid said "YES". He was then asked if he knew who Ricky Ponting was. The kid said "NO - but he gave me this tshirt".
Classic, along with the pearler moment when another child bowled ponting out first ball - funny!
4. The fact that people are looking to rebuild their communities again - that is so positive and inspiring.
5. THe story about the horse that saved his owner - that is AMAZING, and the horse survived.
6. Totally unreal things people ended up having to use like Pepsi and any other liquid they could find to douse flames when hoses stopped working - that is incredible!
7. The Herald Sun has an online tributes condolence/guest book where people can leave messages. http://tributes.heraldsun.com.au/gb2/HeraldSun-AU/default.aspx?personid=123916684
