This week has been a little difficult since hearing the tragic death of Robin Williams. I know that sounds overly dramatic and silly and obviously what I am feeling is nothing compared to that of his three children, wife or anyone that knew him personally, but I think it's the whole tragedy that is hitting home. My family have a history of depression and it just makes me so sad that someone can be so loved by their family, friends and complete strangers at the other side of the world but still not be OK.
However, on a brighter note. These links (some Robin Williams related) have been bringing a (somewhat smaller) smile to my face this week.
This video from ABC Australia showing a team of commuters pushing a train to help free a man who got trapped between the tracks. This is something that panics me every time I leave a train or tube, especially since Berlin where the gaps are MASSIVE, so it makes me happy that people helped. POWER TO THE COMMUTERS.

The fact the moon has been bigger and brighter this week and some, very patient, people have been able to take stunning photos of the night sky.
This scene from Mrs Doubtfire, which will always be synonymous with House of Pain to me, and this video of Robin Williams meeting a gorilla. People who love animals are the best kind of people.
This list of awesome Disney comebacks from some of the best villians - some of which I do use on a regular basis, and this list of things that Robin Williams characters have taught us all. As a raging feminist (in the original sense of the word not down with men) I loved this post.
I will just leave you with this tribute from the very funny Jimmy Fallon, which made me smile, laugh and cry. Just like the man himself.
