The Waterline News Bass Coast
Waterline News Deadline
The next edition will be March 2021
Submission Cut Off
As I was editing this edition, I was watching steam from my morning coffee meander through an open window, when a child’s voice cracked the silence. “It’s good to be able to pat someone else’s cat when you miss your own.” he said. He'd finished unloading the dishwasher and, as a reward, the TV was about to blast through that fractured silence. Reports from Britain, reports from America. Half a world away there were a thousand dead in Britain, chaos in America and no good news from anywhere in between. He switched channels till he found a cartoon. Three paddocks up the hill from us, a shiny tractor was cutting through the overly long grass. Spotting an ad hoc educational moment, I asked “There could be snakes in there. What else?”
“Squirrels?”
“No mate, not in this country,” I whispered as I remembered how lucky we were to have our loved ones around us. And knowing they were safe as I went back to reading all the eclectic pieces coming in for this February edition.
