🌹 Happy 81, Daw Suu 🌹

I’ve found more warmth, more wholehearted love, more tenderness, more courage, and more caring concern among my people, as we hope together, we suffer together and struggle together, than anywhere else in the world Aung San Suu Kyi Letter from Burma (1997)

On our way to Yacht club for drinks this evening mum saw a big flock of birds flew overhead and said “isn’t Yangon beautiful with those birds”

Not agreeing with what she said I tried to tell her how deadly avian influenza, the virus from birds to birds, is to humans and other mammals but before I could finish so she said with a snap “I am sure that birds in New Zealand are wonderful”

I just could not stop laughing.
