Queen's new single ... who would have guessed.
This is from one of their unreleased tracks for their The Miracle album back in 1988. It was originally recorded for the album but did not make the final album cut.
The song has a dramatic beginning with Roger's base drum, followed by a melancholy guitar solo, and Freddie's voice... so hauntingly beautiful and full of emotions.
It's beautiful and so so sad, it hits you straight in the gut.
Have a listen.
After all these years, it's so good to hear all four of them playing together. I miss Queen.
Salam and good day
These are some succulents that I planted (more like transferred) into my small front yard recently.
I planted them in mid September. Then I realised, mid September is not the best time to plant succulents in the yard, because it was so close to the rainy season.
Well, it is October now and the rain has already started, and will get wetter come November and December. I hope they will survive the monsoon. If not, I will have to replant them, after the rain, probably in February or March.
We'll just have to wait and see.

Visited our upgraded Mini Zoo yesterday with my grandson. Pleasantly surprised,I must say.
Apparently, it's the first hybrid zoo in Malaysia. Hybrid in that it combines both live animals and replicas of pre historic predators. Worth a visit. I'm just going to post pictures of the Mini Zoo... in mini packages.

These are not the refugees we are used to... These people are Europeans. These people are intelligent, they are educated people... This is not the refugee wave we have been used to, people we were not sure about their identity, people with unclear pasts, who could have been even terrorists ...
Bulgarian Prime Minister, Kirril Petkov

Al Jazeera English, Television presenter
This isn't a place, with all due respect, like Iraq or Afghanistan that has seen conflict raging for decades. This is a relatively civilised, relatively European - I have to choose those words carefully too - city where you wouldn't expect that, or hope it's going to happen.
Charlie D'Agata, CBS News senior correspondent
[Ukranian refugees] are prosperous, middle class people. These are obviously not refugees trying to get away from areas in the Middle East that are still in a big state of war.These are not people trying to get away from areas in North Africa. They look like any European family that you would live next door to.
Peter Dobbie, Al Jazeera English, anchor
Some European commentators on Western Media have described Ukrainian refugees as being 'civilised', 'middle-class' and 'prosperous' and different from those from 'third world nations'.

and if that's not enough,
The New York Times reported that non-white people fleeing Ukraine were being blocked from leaving, in favour of white Ukrainians.
Wow. The blatant doubIe standard and racism makes me sick.
I don't mean to be negative, but
WTF!!!!!!!!!!
I feel for refugees from Asia and Africa, I really do.
This makes it very difficult for me to feel any sympathy for Ukrainians.
