Hi to everybody...woke up to bucketing rain around 7.30, went back to sleep for another hour and woke up again to more rain, and it's still bloody raining now...damn this weather...Listened to the Reith Lecture called Chinese Vistas at 9, and it was about the reinstatement of Confucius by the Chinese government...schools are opening around the world to teach people about his thoughts...the lecture itself was fine, but the audience then had a chance to ask the lecturer questions...the Catholic Cardinal, the Anglican Archbishop, Paddy Ashdown and an Amnesty International rep each asked a question?? Hubby and I both thought that was really out of order...all four were only interested in criticizing China and were only interested in their perspective of it...nobody from the general public had a chance to ask a question which suggested that the entire audience was either invited or nobody from the general public had attended...hmmm...really annoyed us...the strange this was...many years ago in the late seventies to early eighties we used to get a newspaper directly from China reporting on events there for the wider world, I can recall writing a letter to somebody in the Chinese government asking whether they had rejected Confucius because his thoughts struck me as still very relevant today...I didn't get an answer, but now forty or so years later, the Chinese have restored Confucius...LOL...everything comes to he or she who waits....
Hubby's back to work today, so it's just an ordinary day again...he sleeps in the afternoon and I do my own thing...
Hope you're having a bit of sun, and have a good day...great big hugs to one and all in the meantime...
