I hate to be manipulated. And yes my ABC channel is doing the same thing. I've degenerated to leaving it on without volume in case something factual comes out. They've interviewed the Canadian PM, the acting Australian PM and opposition leaders, etc etc. and asking 'who do you think this could be' - are they joking! Sometimes I wonder where these interviewers get their education.! Rant over. Try to get some sleep.
They're everywhere. Attacks are, and will be, random so we can't stop them no matter what precautions we take. Do we spend our lives hiding behind our doors?
Edd - the sad truth is - nuclear weapons won't deter them. Police with hand guns can't stop them. They're suicide bombers - they don't care about their own lives, so they're not going to care about your life or mine, or our children's.
This is the reality, and there's nothing we can do. Except keep doing the normal things we do every day, because if they want to kill everyone - they will, and there's precious little we can do to stop them.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Pat - that's the harsh reality of 24 hour news. They have to fill it with 'non news' stories or ludicrous questioning of people who're not in a position to answer their inane questions. The scourge of 21st century news reporting....

You're both right. By the way Charles and Camilla are still here in Oz I think. They were yesterday, so they will be awake.
My nearest shops are 26 km away, and I'm not going anywhere. Have just lit the fire (heater) because it's such a miserable day - so much for spring! I've turned the Tele off and been playing Sudoku to keep my mind on other things.
i hope both of you can get a bit of shut eye soon.
Sorry Topbird, you slipped in there while I was typing. Yes it's hard to get it out of your mind, one person interviewed said this will affect France's economy because people won't want to visit. No comment here.
Hi Dove. Depressing isn't it. Unfortunately I've had all day to stew about it so I'll be glad to get to sleep tonight. Doesn't help that Hubby has been away all day, so noone to chat to.

Can't you sleep, Edd? Maybe your body clock is out of kilter from your travels.

The world is a darker place today

Good morning all
G'day Pat 
A very sad day - our thoughts are with friends in France and all those affected.

Hi Pat - best thing to do is to put some music on the radio and keep our brains occupied. ((hugs))
