I'm all chocolate-ears to hear about your Easter

 

Some shopper at Woolies had an early Easter and ate the ears of a chocolate bunny and washed it all down with a half-drunk can of Coke. They may not have paid for it now but will no doubt pay for it later in life with their obesity. Happy Easter!

My own Easter came early when I found a copy of Thomas L. Friedman's "The Lexus and the Olive Tree" which is about the struggle between the drive for prosperity and development, symbolised by the Lexus LS, and the desire to retain identity and traditions, symbolized by the olive tree.

 

 

My other early-Easter discovery is Christopher Kremmer's "The Carpet Wars", an absolutely rivetting and timely account of a decade spent living, travelling and reporting from Asia and the Middle East. If you haven't a goldcoin to spare, you can read it for free on archive.org.

 

 

I'm all set for Easter! I'm all chocolate-ears to hear about your Easter.
