We went to nearby Box Hill last night for Chinese Lantern Festival celebrations and there was quite a big crowd. I loved seeing the dragon dance and seeing, hearing and smelling the firecrackers warding off the ghosts of the past. I love that smell of black powder and cordite in the air...I haven't ever seen this celebration before although have travelled in China a bit, but never during Spring Festival-Lantern Festival time. Yes, the Symbol of China, for good reason, is The Dragon...and now, after all those years/centuries of dispute, of in fighting, introversion, colonisation by the West, all those centuries of isolation, sickness and poverty, and coma...the Dragon is awake, and well...and breathing real fire.
Different appreciations of Life at different ages: Me, at 30: job=career=role=manfulness=opportunity=acquistion=status=meaning. All achieved to a greater or lesser degree over the span... me at 63: job=enough money to responsibly have a cat. yes, yes, still working things out to acquire a little pussy.
Well, hot days in NSW Australia by the look of it...45-48 degrees C...that's about 118 degrees F, which is very hot indeed. In Melbourne, down the road, it is 12 degrees. The problem with NSW Australia countryside being at 118 degreesF is that there is an accompanying hot wind at 70kph/45 mph which means if a small fire starts anywhere no one can stop it. Good Luck NSW. Now, don't go believing in any of that Climate Change stuff...? Global warming?/ No, it is Global Furnace.
