Yesterday was a wet rainy day, not the best day to show a young Australian around the town but I still managed to take this picture from the beach. But today is cake day for Diane who is raising money by running the Brighton Marathon for a Brighton hospice. While getting sponsorship, her office has a cake day to raise more so its all in a good cause. And yesterday these were donated for that cause. I like cake, I confess, but being on a gluten free diet I no longer eat them - can't be bothered baking them just for myself. But that's ok, life is good enough without them. But even with a stroll around Brighton and cakes and good cheer abounding, its not hard to pause and take time to think about others. Dan and I are talking about setting a small Toys for Tanzania charity - when he was there one of the kids in the orphanage used Dan's sandal as a toy car, making all the usual car noises children do. The idea is a small one and one we would link to a water-aid type project too, oh and the hospital needs a scanner, not a new one, just one... there are so many causes and so many people less fortunate, your heart would break just thinking about them. So I guess small things - not to repair that heartache - but to help elsewhere, if possible. Anyway that's what occurred to me this morning as I rose to greet the early morning cold and sunshine. Happy Wednesday! I have fond memories of all three of these artists in their prime, and Bonnie Raitt sings this better now than she did all those years ago - and they can still say it, yay:
