How are our Aussie friends today? Can't Post

The hostage situation in Sydney is shocking and my best wishes are with you.

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Thanks Ataahua, It's been a crazy past 20 hours. [In reply to] Can't Post

Pretty much non-stop coverage on all the TV networks here. When I went to bed at around 11:00pm it was still going and I woke up at around 5:00am and heard what had happened during the night.

Really tragic stuff. But it could have been worse I suppose.

Yeah, we're good [In reply to] Can't Post

Kept hoping for a good outcome, and as Joe20 said, it could have been much worse.

The storming of the cafe happened just as we were about to head to bed, so we saw it all take place. My heart goes out to the families of the two hostages who were killed.

One by one they faded, and fell into shadow...

One book to rule them all
One book to find them
One book to bring them all
And in TORn bind them
In the land of TORnadoes...where the brilliant play

So horribly sad [In reply to] Can't Post

And yes, shocking. My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones, and all those caught up in the tragic events.

Do we find happiness so often that we should turn it off the box when it happens to sit there?
