This is simply ridiculous. Three weeks and I still can't use my little finger to tension the yarn while I knit. Absurd! shiv5468's brilliant craft posts have me all inspired!

In other news, East Timor's president was shot and he is in serious condition in Darwin, but apparently this was not reported widely in the US according to my literate and reliable friends. Sigh.

The Australian Prime Minister will apologise to the indigenous population in just under six hours, partially for the whole dispossessing them against contemporary international law thing, mostly for the more recent stolen children thing, which ended some time after the previous Prime Minister was in Parliament, yet for which he always insisted he felt absolutely no personal guilt. Happily, new PM KRudd has a soul.

And I have shorter, chestnuttier hair, because I desperately needed to procrastinate today.

I gave up and just cried. Apparently I find robot bogans deeply effective. And did you see at the end when the foreign minister was behind him swallowing heavily and with tears in his eyes? And Rudd was doing some serious heavy swallowing himself? A good day for Australian democracy.

And I don't know if you saw the German news on SBS (because why would you), but the DW guy with the great hair was all moved by the story, too. Bless.

(It's just a little break, and healing nicely, but I tension the wool by pulling gently outwards and lateral movement still bleeding hurts. Not Fair!)

Err, so why are we still up in the wee hours of the morning, with the finger injury and all? :/

I admit to having missed the German news *is amused* but yes, the teary ministers were definitely quite a moving sight. :)

And awww, you're so cute, I can't believe you cried. ;D *hugs*

Sleep is for the weak! (And I was reading all the international news, because I am a news junkie)

But I will take my finger to bed. It probably does need more regular hours.

Yes, occasionally I am a complete softie. This was one of those days. *hugs back*
