Have spent the last couple of days going through my recent holiday photo collection of South Africa (some of which I have uploaded to my profile); and feel quite sad now that I'm back "home" reflecting on all those happy moments
They've been showing a lot of programmes in Wales, about the Aberfan disaster, that happened 50 years ago. It's really sad to watch, as it killed a load of children, when a coal waste tip fell right onto their school.
I remember going past one of these tips, by train, in the 1980s (I think it was one of the biggest in Europe at the time). It was massive - like a huge mountain on the landscape. I couldn't imagine what that would've been like, coming down like a giant avalanche.
Sad that my son has issues with me. I don't know what the problem is, I rarely see him as he is an OTR trucker. He is truly the light of my life and I love him dearly, don't bug him, etc.
Location: The Circle City. Sometimes NE of Bagdad.
