Saying Sorry.

As a show of support for National Apology Day, word had been spreading encouraging people to change their Facebook status to 'is sorry'. Upon waking this morning, I checked my friends' status updates, to see just how far this had caught on. The popularity of the movement was heartening, but I was surprised to see this.

I'm sure all of you playing at home can tell which of these is a recent ex-girlfriend.


I briefly considered attacking her wall with 'which one?', but thought better of it. I jumped on my bike and rode to the ceremony. And in any case, it seems that by the time I had arrived, she had entered into the spirit of the occasion.

And I will follow her lead.

To Australia's Indigenous peoples, I am truly, deeply sorry.
