Crickey

The country is in mourning. It's really strange, the last couple of days everyone just keeps wondering round in shock murmering things along the lines of 'I can't believe that Steve's dead'. If you had been hiding in the bush alone for years you would be forgiven for thinking that a close family member had died. He was such a huge personality that it seems impossible to think of him as gone, it was the same when John Peel died. One phrase that keeps cropping up is 'well, it's the way he would have wanted to go'. Personally I think he might have preferred to be in bed at a grand old age surrounded by grandchildren and pet crocodiles but I suppose it was rather fitting if it had to be now. RIP Steve Irwin, you will be missed.
