Hi Guys, not sewing related but am deeply shocked by the tragic events that happened in Melbourne today, as a former Melbourne resident I can relate to this very much, for those not aware, a car deliberately ploughed into a shopping mall in the city today, at the moment 3 dead & over 20 injured this included children from 3 months of age to 12 year old, just couldn't believe what I was seeing on the news, sorry everyone but I'm so affected by this. I have family who live & work there but thankfully are o.k. The driver has been arrested & I hope they throw away the key

Hi Irene, Trev and I were both shocked and saddened by this atrocious event as we watched it on Television this evening. We too lived in Melbourne for 9 years and know the city well. Prayers for all of those who have died and their families. Also prayers for the many injured in hospital. A sad day for Australia and only a week away from the national holiday. ❤️ Chris

Although I believe in the overall goodness of people, tere's some meanness and craziness in this world. Prayers for those involved in this tragedy.

Terrible to watch the footage on TV.
This individual had also been involved in something like a stabbing earlier in the day. Drugs and mental issue were mentioned.
Hopefully this is not an excuse that will get him a light sentence. One of his victims was a baby in a pram.
Yes a permanent sentence is due.

I also have a nephew living in Melbourne, he has 3 friends in that area yesterday and has been unable to make contact with them up until last night. I hope last night they were able to make contact. Prayers and thought we all.

I can never understand why these terrible things happen anywhere in a beautiful world, Sadly the little 3 yr old passed away overnight. The driver had stabbed his Brother & assaulted his Mother in the morning. I'm guessing he will get some reduced sentence due to mental illness & I know this an awful thing to suffer with but I sometimes wonder if it's just an excuse for some people

Very sad indeed. Like you I also think they use mental illness as an excuse. I also hope they throw away the key when and if he goes to jail, I may seem harsh but people like him are a waste of space.
