- I have a really awful, extremely awkward crick in my neck (I tripped over a section of dismantled bed in the spare bedroom and my head went one way and my shoulder went another) which I have only aggravated by six hours' worth of gardening and now I can only.move.like.my.head.like.a.ro.bot.
- The sunblock was applied for the first time in months yesterday. I smothered myself but still, still I got burnt - this little sliver on the back of my neck. Wah!
- Depressing "book club" novels. I've had it up to 'ere with them. I'm half way through Wally Lamb's much lauded and granted very well written This Much I Know Is True and all I can think is ooooh, how 'bout some laughter? Humour? Fun? Please...? *Puts book down*
- On Thursday I purchased a spider plant. It must be decades since I last owned one. Speaking of which why did houseplants go out of fashion? My flat used to be a veritable jungle, circa 1992.
- One packet of Arnott's Mint Slices ("made with Pure Mint Oil and Real Chocolate"), purchased Friday, now empty! Without me even having one! The Other Harf, he knows nut-ting. Miss 9.1, she knows nut-ting. Very suspicious. Very suspicious indeed...
- My whole family have costumes for my pending Woodstock Hippy themed birthday party in two weeks time - wigs, muslin caftans, ethnic beads etc, etc. I don't even have a Make Love Not War badge to my name. Yet.
- Officially, my favourite homemade pizza is half smoked salmon and brie/half pepperoni and salami with blue cheese, with a sprinkling of red onion, a slice of tomato per slice, fresh oregano, all smothered with mozzarella. The Other Harf liked mine so much he wants me to make it for him next time.
- We have a two metre tall concrete culvert pipe for sale, complete with a large hole in the side, which the Other Harf reckons will sell for hundreds, hundreds of dollars on TradeMe. Me thinks not.
- My darling friends J & S fly in from the UK this Friday! They came last May and loved it so much they just had to come back.This time it's the South Island. Prepare to be *spectacularly* impressed, my friends.
- The Warehouse AND Para Rubber have those really cool Intex swimming pools for sale - you set them up for the summer and can take them down for the winter! And they're big enough for the grownups to use! We want one!
- Our chickens have gone off the lay, again. Some say it's off with their heads and time for the pot, but how could you casserole this? Doesn't she look like one of those pottery egg holders, shaped like a chicken?
