Just getting back into the swing of school term and the kids back into a routine again.
I have some reading to catch up on. The bottom two books were birthday gifts, the FitzSimons book I asked for but the Hawke bio isn't one I would have bought myself or borrowed from the library. I am no fan of Hawke or his awful garish second wife Blanche D'Alpuget but I will read it, Kate sent it to me.
I borrowed a book by actor William McInnes called "A Man's got to Have a Hobby" along with the Lana Turner bio. I read mostly biographical books these days, because I enjoy them and they are easy to get through when I just want some light and entertaining reading. The McInnes book is hilarious. He has a wonderful sense of humour, so typically laid back Aussie. I have found myself crying with laughter in places.
Check out the above commercials, they are subtitled but very, very funny. Don't mess with pandas, okay?
I am feeling a bit blah, several reasons but today I went outside for something and found myself checking out the garden, all the roses in bloom now, new colour irises coming up, all the herbs lush and green and new plants thriving in the sun and rain and I felt instantly better. How do people cope without gardens? Even little ones? Stupid housing department in NSW decreed that tenants, who lived in units with a shared balcony couldn't have their potted plants that they'd had there for years due to "safety reasons". Idiots.
Very quiet news week here too. An article in the Cootamundra Herald tells us that "at or about 3am on Saturday, someone or a group of people, broke into the Tip Top bakery sheds in Hovell Street. The offender/s stole an amount of stale bread and cigarette butts". I had to read this several times to make sure. I am shocked Noddy. Shocked. What is the world coming to?

One of my ancestors got send to Australia for stealing a slice of stale bread...(she was only 7 years old poor kid)...makes you wonder though doesn't it? In some ways we are going backwards. I wonder what they wanted the cigarette butts. Hmmm
That's awful Karisma! I didn't realise kids that young got transported at all.
I wondered though if the newspaper article was a joke or something. I don't know what the Tip Top bakery shed is but why would they have stale bread and ciggy butts stored there anyway?
Never mess with a Panda okay I get it!!!
