I'm not Catholic, but this picture is a very powerful image. Likewise, the Pope exerts considerable power and influence over the lives of many people in the world.

Today was a mixed day, another public holiday for Easter Monday.

I took Kane for a walk in the morning to the local shops to buy the newspaper, and some exploring. We were out for about an hour, so he enjoyed that. There are lots of dogs living in the suburb so there was plenty of 'news' to smell.

In the afternoon, I walked him around the block. Ted came and took him home. I found out that Kane is 11 years old, so having him stay over and going on lots of long walks is a bit of excitement.
