Nontitled

This marvellous little space is going to be something a little different from my other sites.

On here, my aim is to highlight unusual little things that make you step back, stop for a moment and let your mind wander, as you have a chance to ponder aspects of Life, The Universe and Everything that you normally wouldn't even consider during your day.

...In short, a brief web-inspired 'timeout'. Enjoy.

Audio slideshow: Australian wildfires [BBC]

The bushfires raging across large areas of south-eastern Australia have destroyed entire towns and devastated local communities. Many people perished in their cars as they tried to drive to safety.

Here - accompanied by some graphic images and the sound of the strong winds that have been fanning the flames - eyewitnesses describe how they escaped, but how others were not so lucky.
