Marblehead, U.S.A.
I really enjoyed exploring the South African lighthouses with you online, but we have a lot of ground to cover if we want to see the rest of the flashing giants out there. For our next stretch, I will be taking a more random and visual approach. I'll be jumping back and forth across the globe and you can look forward to feasting your eyes on the breathtaking landscapes and structural beauty the world of lighthouses has to offer!

My sense of direction is deplorable - my boss once joked that I don't need a GPS, I need a driver - and it takes a lot of repetitive reading and map checking before I am able to recall locations and borders, etc. It was no surprise then, when I read that Marblehead Lighthouse is in Ohio, that I had to go onto Google Maps to see why Ohio even had a lighthouse.

Albatross is also a term used for something negative, as in a consistent problem you need to overcome, so does she mean that she's going to be a hindrance to the 'little mouse'? Or is she referring to herself as an albatross due to the fact that it's quite a large bird, and couldn't be bothered less by smaller creatures? Or is it due to the albatross' rarity, ie she's one-of-a-kind, and therefore more precious than 'the millions of other rodents'? Well, there you go - I'll leave you with that little conundrum for the week. Let me know what you think!
Election Song
Embedding this week's Weird Music Video has unfortunately been disabled, so please go listen to & view it on YouTube . It was done by the Newzoids for the UK's 2015 General Elections, but all politicians seem to suck just as much these days, so I think we can identify with its sentiments. And, if you're a South African, please remember to go vote on Wednesday! Even if you don't think it'll make a difference, I can guarantee you 100% that not voting will definitely change nothing.
