Some stuff from my brain, in dot points.


  • I just realised the Blogger statistics thing has reverted to counting my own pageviews of the blog AND I CAN'T CHANGE THE BLOODY THING BACK! This means it's been counting all the times I click on the blog as well as when actual other non-me people do it.  Thus rendering the statistics TOTALLY INACCURATE. And considering how many times I click on the ole blog myself this means that probably in real life the tally is more like, I don't know, 2. Rather than 10000.  Just when I was about to quit work and live off my earnings too!  Sigh. 
  • I had to work from home today because of the NATURAL DISASTER FLOOD PESTILENCE FAMINE CYCLONE TORNADO GLOBAL WARMING crazy type weather.  Good things about this include - 
    • No commute. 
    • No getting in trouble for talking to colleagues. 
    • No commute. 
         Bad things about this include -

    • No colleagues to talk to.  
    • No aircon.   I'm not complaining, there's people out there with raging rivers running through their houses and no power.  We were barely touched, just a tree down in the back-yoo-ard (as P calls it).  This has of course added to the whole chaotic derelicte vibe we've got going on in the garden anyway as I'm sure you can imagine.
Snapped at the base.  Look away from feral weeds thanks very much.

Bye old Apple Gum.  Look away from the feral weeds ploise.




  • M's workplace was closed today.  He didn't have to "work from home" though. I couldn't be doing with that, so I kept the baby home from daycare and made M look after him.  Bahaha.

  • Made this the other night. It was SO GOOD.  Purveyors of Marion's Kitchen Brand, ploise feel free to send me a million packages of this if you want.  You know you do.  

That's all.  Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you all did ok in the weather.  Don't drive through flood water people.  That is for fools and lunatics.

  1. Is that Marion from Australian Masterchef? Marion, who was robbed of the title? Do any Australians ever watch this show, nobody ever talks about it! I love it. Even though I could easily punch George into a coma. At least you have your own fridge to raid, working from home. Statistics! I think 95% of mine are...MINE!

    1. Yes it is! I used to watch it all the time but went off it a bit. Sulky there was the most hilarious sort of review/rundown of an episode in one of our papers here, will find the link for you.

    2. I can't work out how to post a link using my phone but you should Google "Masterchef recap Ben Pojie".

    1. It was delish! Don't watch My kitchen rules, although I have in the past, it was v amusing. I don't seem to watch as much tv as I'd like to at the mo! Although I am indulging in a game of thrones marathon at the moment. soft porn anyone?

  3. I'm so anti-cook-from the packets… or was, until I tried Ainsley's DELISHUS Lentil Dhal. I'm buggered if I'm soaking those little pulsie babes overnight to make my kiddie's favourite meal (what the … they had an indian family daycare carer from the age of 9 months … flavours stuck!). Try that one too. It rocks. HARD.

    I like what you've done with the garden. It has a nice boho vibe.

    1. Ooh will try it. I do most stuff from scratch but frankly sometimes you'd be mad not to use a packet, see my earlier blog post re fish finger supper. M is v sniffy about packet stuff which is irritating but he chose this one himself so there you go.

    1. Yes they are useful little critters. I also have a fondness for exclamation marks, capitalisation and the old semi colon. Punctuation! So INTERESTING! And;
      Useful.

    2. I love punctuation. The best book review I ever read (by a young student mind you, who was probably brought up by the rule "If you can't say anything nice...") said, "This book was well punctuated." Where did someone so young get such a droll sense of humour? Unfortunately, the reviewer was in ernest, so a tiny less funny, perhaps?

Vent your spleen! You know you want to.
