Shaun collects alot of shrapnel. Which is handy for me as I never have change.

The Grampians, as we drove past on our way back to Melbourne.

28th May, 2009

We dressed Superniece up in clothes I'd bought her. The tutu was part of her birthday present. My sister was horrified when I put the tutu on her, but Superniece had a ball, crawling around, showing off her fashion skillz.

27th May, 2009

Happy 1st birthday, Superniece!

26th May, 2009

My sister's dear dog, Finn. He is a 10 year old Deerhound. I took him & Morris, their chocolate Lab, for a walk. Finn gets tired quickly these days.

25th May, 2009

Finishing point of our roadtrip: my sister's house on South Australia's Limestone Coast. The light here is beautiful & made even lovelier with the appearance of a rainbow.

Jo & I took her German Shepherd pup, Elektra, for a walk around Princes Park.

We went out for Paige's birthday. Someone gave her a bunch of gerberas.

Paige & Mike adopted Winnie, a four month old kitten. We met her for the first time tonight. She is gorgeous, but farts alot.

A trio of lemons.

Graffiti in Newry Street, North Carlton.

16th May, 2009

Looking towards the city, across the Yarra, from Southbank. I love Melbourne.

15th May, 2009

Sleeping 20 hours a day must really take it out of you, if Kermit is anything to go by. He was pleased when I arranged a cushion for him to relax on.

14th May, 2009

I watched an Australian doco on ABC tonight. Called The Wedding Makers, it followed two couples who had enrolled the help of wedding planners.

This guy reminded me of Sir Perdis.

13th May, 2009

Simple salad to accompany dinner tonight. I would have loved some olives & feta but they didn't magically appear in the fridge. Dog nammit.

12th May, 2009

Lyrics to Pearl Jam's Whipping, from their 1994 album Vitalogy. I won this album on K-Rock, G-town's premier radio station.

11th May, 2009

I was given this knitted finger puppet today. It looks like a chicken/duck hybrid. A Chuck? Or a Dicken?

10th May, 2009

2009 is the 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz & to celebrate, twenty designers took up the challenge to create their interpretation of Dorothy's shoes.

Myer Bourke Street is currently hosting the "Ruby Red Slippers Collection". As I'm still on the hunt for a pair of sparkly red glitter flats (no thanks to you, Asos.com) this was HEAVEN.

I fell in love with Betsey Johnson's design (above), although Jimmy Choo's was a close second.

The exhibition is on until 24 May.

9th May, 2009

Unimpressed Kermit is unimpressed.

8th May, 2009

A gift from the parentals: Red Knot Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre from McLaren Vale, South Australia. Not a bad drop.

7th May, 2009

Callan Mulvey is at my work today, filming for Network Ten's police drama, Rush.

Unfortunately I was indisposed at the time he was running towards the building (& me) so this is the best I could do.

6th May, 2009

The workday passes quicker if you have some mischief to create. 'Angus' wrote a stationery order up on the whiteboard, so it was decided we should erase the 'g'.

5th May, 2009

Goosey goosey gander,
Whither shall I wander?
Upstairs and downstairs
And in my lady's chamber.

There I met an old man
Who wouldn't say his prayers,
So I took him by his left leg
And threw him down the stairs.

Wikipedia have a whole entry dedicated to this rhyme.

4th May, 2009

Scooby dooby doo where are you?

We've got some work to do now

Scooby dooby doo we need some help from you now

Come on Scooby doo I see you

Pretending you've got a shiver

You're not foolin' me 'cause I can see

The way you shake and shiver

You know we got a mystery to solve

So Scooby doo get ready for your act

Don't hold back 'cause Scooby doo

When you come through you're gonna have yourself

a Scooby snack that's a fact

Scooby dooby doo here are you

You're ready and you're willin' [Scooby]

If we can count on you [beee]Scooby doo

I know we'll catch the villain

My mum gave this gibbon toy to me. He hangs out on the bedroom door.

2nd May, 2009

Nina & Pete had their engagement party at a Greek Tavern. Each table had a bottle of white & red wine, a VB longneck (spew) & a bottle of Johnnie Walker. Between four of us, we drank two bottles. Some coped better than others.

1st May, 2009

I love this shit. I had it on fresh spinach & ricotta agnolotti.
