It’s a Mad Mad World~
Do you ever wake up, look around you, watch the news, survey the world and realise we are living what can be likened to an apocalyptic ‘Mad Max’ situation? We seem to see this, live through it and carry on as if nothing strange is really happening. This baffles me about the nature of humanity.…

Morning Coffee Talk~ 33/354
Good Morning, It has been raining so much here in Dubai the last two days, it reminds me that anything can happen despite our projections and familiar expectations.
