Sad music to go with a cold, rainy day (Renamed)

I had called this post "Sunny music to brighten up a cold, rainy day." Mrsgunka pointed out that the music was too sad. I listened to it again and have to agree...

Birthday party!

Today is Ripley's birthday. Happy birthday, dear friend! I collected some photos especially for this occasion.







We also need some humour. This photo was sent to me by a friend and I'm sure Ripley will appreciate it.

Has anybody seen the cat?

We can't have a party without a cake! I couldn't find one that looked exactly like Foofy, so this one will have to do...


Have a great day, Ripley!

Ubuntu

I saw this on Facebook and I think it's quite inspiring.


An anthropologist devised ​​a game for some children of an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit next to a tree and told the children that the first who came to the tree would win all the fruit. Given the signal, all the kids came out at the same time and holding hands! Then they sat down together to enjoy the reward. When the anthropologist asked why they had acted that way, knowing that one of them could have all the fruit for themselves, they replied: Ubuntu, how could one of us be happy if all the others were sad?

UBUNTU in the Xhosa culture means "I am because we are"
