extras from a woody allen film

a bunch of stuff that happened

i finally got the bluetooth connection working on my laptop, so was able to download photos from my new camera mobile phone - yay! so here's a little catchup photoessay of the last few months...

i had mega pizza with matt and bridget - for adelaideans, at the italian bakery place on magill road - go there, its brilliant, even though matt doesn't look all that impressed



can't beat a chocolate donut for an afternoon snack



this is my grandma - her name is kitty. isn't she cute?



and this is her loungeroom, more fake wood panelling than you can poke a fake wood stick at



i had lunch with beck - steak sanger at the exeter, this one wasn't so great actually but usually really good, and cheap!

laura practicing hard on her smoking technique, and doing a very good impression of a caterpillar while she's at it



i actually went to burnside - ahhh, amazing burnside. never fails for a good fix of gold bags, gold shoes and gold accessories



take a good look kids - here's a picture of an ikea virgin



and this is just plain bizarre...



woh look, is that clark kent sitting in the exeter wearing the whitest white hoodie you've ever seen? and my, isn't he looking sultry!



i had a sunday roast dinner at my mum's place. pic makes it look a wierd colour, but trust me, mighty good



robin made me a moroccan lamb tagine, took all afternoon to cook, was y-u-m-m-y



oh. my. god. cutest. bunny. EVER!



spotted at the markets, a girl with giant pink blowup hearts growing out of her head



and just yesterday, we went for a picnic up to mt lofty gardens. unfortunately a posse of marauding potoroos decided that they wanted to join us. those potoroos seem to have a penchant for salami, cheese, dip, cake and mineral water. and they are mighty persistent.

best thing on the internet

handsome

so i was in the lunchroom today at work, eating my sandwich and reading the paper. a couple of work colleagues were having a conversation - talking about their husbands, and one of them actually said in a completely matter-of-fact voice... "oh no, my husband's not handsome, nooo not at all. he's *word i can't remember here but i keep thinking she actually said ugly*. i gave up the handsome one for the one i got. but i don't regret it one little bit."

i was freaked out by this. i mean, sure she seems happy about her choice, she doesn't regret it. i certainly don't think looks are everything, but how could you actually marry someone you did not find physically attractive. i don't get it.

vegetables

further to my blog a while ago about strange conversations i have at work sometimes, here is one i overheard just now (it was the same woman that accused me of stealing her sunglasses).

"… (other bits of conversation I wasn’t listening to) …

Vegetables

Yes vegetables!

Have we got any vegetables?

No, I’m talking about vegetables.

To go with sausages.

No, I’m talking about vegetables to go with the sausage things.

Yes that’s right.

Vegetables.

Ok, here’s some inspiration for you. Defrost the sausages, and we can cook some vegetables to go with them. But have we got any vegetables?

I don’t know, steam them?

No.

Oh... ummm... maybe carrots?

Ok, I’ll get some."


it really does make you wonder...
