    I don't have a tip jar for myself, so please consider the opportunity to give a gift to the people of Darfur, Sudan:

  • World Vision in Sudan


  • "As many as 10,000 people have died monthly since the conflict began in Darfur, Sudan. Brutal ethnic conflict has driven over 2 million people into homelessness".

Child That Mind and Way Give


Comes a time when one must set the rest of the world right side up. Hence the photo. I'm going to be travelling to stay with relatives and visit some beaches further up the island on the East coast, so I'll be away for a few days. I will come across some more of our road signs on the way. It seems that people read things from the bottom upwards. (Who knew?)

This is a standard feature of life here, with my favourite piece of abstract road signage being CHILD THAT MIND - seen mostly outside schools, play centres, and kid venues. I think the person who first thought this up was really creating a subliminal message about having a child-like wonder as we travel through this world (but keep inside the white line as you go and speed that watch).

We drive, as all normal folk do, on the left. I put aside the slightly controversial post I had planned for today (wot, no controversy?) since I will be away for a bit. Yes, I know I was away for a few months but I am back now and this week has been a blogging warm up. I've caught up with a few blogs already and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I hope to take some photos up on the West Coast - the surf is great there. This photo was taken across from a park not far from where I live. That's how it is living at the top of the world. You learn to way give things. It's easier to do if you child that mind.
