You knew there was bad news coming, when our PM started fronting the press conferences.

Somehow, "tragic" does not quite describe the fate of those cruise ship pax who ticked the box next to "Visit live volcano".

It's a time to remind ourselves, (if we didn't already know it), that we all stand on an extremely thin skin of boiling hot rice pudding, the contents of which can erupt and devour us, and everything else, at a moment's notice!
When one takes a peek through a slice of Planet Earth, it's amazing that the; "Earth" as we call it, exists at all!
We are very lucky to be standing on the "ground" which surrounds us all!
...I am forever amazed by it all!
