Inevitable I suppose in a population that large that such madness exists. Pity it gets so much oxygen though.<br /><br />I find the animal pictures heartbreaking BUT every year you see stories about people drowning to save their dogs from rivers and the sea and my hard heart says why be so foolish, think of the people you may well be leaving behind.Betty Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02106396238018550134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-69228913954204838532011-01-15T02:05:08.606+00:002011-01-15T02:05:08.606+00:00Just so you know, the horses are champion racehore...Just so you know, the horses are champion racehores and thankfully were able to be saved, albeit with terrible cuts and bruises.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-35582908694559964822011-01-15T01:39:01.563+00:002011-01-15T01:39:01.563+00:00I love this post and how you hop from subject to s...I love this post and how you hop from subject to subject. It adds so much variety to everyday mundane living. I am still bogged down by such a lot of work and a death in the family (extended family) that this is saving my sanity. Now to go watch Sarah Palin and Cindy Jacob. I cant believe they both said what they did.Mysticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941269615559681014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-86138551693342732762011-01-14T23:22:24.565+00:002011-01-14T23:22:24.565+00:00Deanna - how lovely and kind.

(Quite simliar to the dog love, I think.) Also, in my case, there is the thing of having been brought up in a racing stable. But you are so lovely to understand. I know you cherish your equines.Tania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-26427300948635303642011-01-14T21:45:14.496+00:002011-01-14T21:45:14.496+00:00I didn't know about the horses and just spent ...I didn't know about the horses and just spent fifteen minutes scouring youtube and then weeping inconsolably. What is it about animals in these natural disasters that moves us so?

Mu...Lou - such an interesting and naughty question. Must admit while I was in the first throes of the bug I thought: oh sod the hill. And yet I stomped out crossly in my pyjamas to shoot it. Since I have decided to try and chart an entire year by the daily views of the hill, I now seem COMPELLED to do an actual picture each day. Not at all sure where this imperative came from, but while it is in me, I shall honour it to the letter. And thank you, as always, for most lovely supportive comment about the blog.<br /><br />Knackered Mother - love yr pithy juxtaposition of: beautiful dogs and unbelievable Palin. We should put that on a tee-shirt. (Also of course anyone who is kind about the dogs wins a place in my heart.)Tania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-49576641061574030652011-01-14T19:47:36.148+00:002011-01-14T19:47:36.148+00:00Wonderful round up, thank you.

Could be last year's hill...would we ever know??! I double dog dare you...see if anyone notices, it's hardly possible that we can cross reference, I live in the most Southerly point of the country and you the North. You are the North. Anyway...you are a pleasure to read today Tania; and you would be hill or no hill!

So pleased you liked the Daniel Hernandez story. 20 years old and he ran TOWARDS the sound of gunfire. <br /><br />Anon - such a good question. I was going to do a whole thing on Shehrbano Taseer, but felt I had gone on long enough. Google her January 11th article in The Guardian. Anyway, she and Congresswoman Giffords are my women of the week. (And also the English women's cricket team, who beat Australia, to rather less fanfare than their male counterparts.)Tania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-68077570900942225662011-01-14T19:16:49.619+00:002011-01-14T19:16:49.619+00:00Woman of the week?Woman of the week?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-82880921548572534052011-01-14T17:12:43.587+00:002011-01-14T17:12:43.587+00:00I was also v. sad about the horses but equally dis...I was also v. sad about the horses but equally distressed by the lady in Brazil who got hauled to safety but couldn't keep hold of her dog :(<br /><br />The robin photos are spectacular.
