3 Good Things

24. August 2008, 11:12 pmThings that make me happyKin

I think the universe is taking pity smiling on me today, I have 3 wonderful things to report tonight.

  1. Queensland Premier Anna Bligh has placed a 20 year moratorium on Shale Oil Mining in the state, effectively ending the “investigation” in the Whitsundays I discussed in what is now my most popular post ever: Bye Bye Nemo??? This is a wonderful boost for our town, and while it’s hard to believe the government would seriously have considered it, it was far too important to be ignored. I thank everyone who signed a petition or stumbled/dugg my post to help raise awareness.
  2. My puppy should be well enough to come home tomorrow. We had a couple of days there we didn’t think he’d make it. I’m pleased to report today he turned up his nose at dog food, ate BBQ chicken and growled at the vet’s father Laughing. He must be feeling better.
  3. Tonight Meg from Dipping into the Blogpond contacted me to let me know that I had finally made it into the Top 100 Australian Blog Index she painstakingly puts together every month. Ok, so at number 96 I’m not going to take over the internet just yet, but it’s something I’ve been secretly coveting for just over a year, ever since I found Meg’s blog through Miscmum.

So there you have it, a lovely end to the week, which, despite it’s many many downs, still brought me a lot of joy.
