the entire - well, almost - wee isle went silent at 18:00 hours WIST last evening, in memory of the tsunami - here we go again! - victims.
i know it's a good idea and so forth and such. but how come i get the sick feeling that whomever came up with it were a bunch of copycat's? which raises the question if most of those attendee's were there just because their mates/neighbours/partners/moggy told them to do so?
an acquaintance of mine lost a pair of niece's, and she would have been swept away if the palm tree she clung to snap. a couple had a close shave whilst holidaying in langkawi. but that doesn't mean i had to follow suit with the so-called observance.
however, fingers and toes crossed, i hope the swedish embassy would ring me soon with some news of my ex-fling and his missus.
