Great update as always and very thought provoking as tomorrow is World Cancer Day! A moment of reflection will be on my mind tomorrow.
Today has been interesting for me in that from a community point of view we met with a Victorian Politician at Parliament House in Spring Street, Melbourne. When we had finished our serious talking she took us on a show and tell, goodness it is wonderful to see these old buildings are preserved from another era - fascinating to see - copy and paste excerpt from Parliament of Victoria:
"...Eagles are perched on the arches at each end of the Chamber. It is believed that these eagles represent the House of Hanover. Queen Victoria was of Hanoverian heritage and was married to a member of the Legislative Council Information Sheet Number 21 Chamber Architectural Features and Furniture German Royal Family; therefore, the Eagles could be a reference to both the Royal House of Hanover and House of Saxony...."
All in the day of a volunteer, lobbying as hard as we can at political level.
Have a lovely weekend. Take care xx
