I've been hitting the gym twice a week for the last five months or so - the incentive is to ensure I can keep up with the little man as he becomes more mobile. It's been going well, and I decided that I was ready to take up squash again. My brother and I played half an hour today - he won, of course. It's been four years since I played, and over a decade since I played with any regularity (he plays pretty often against a friend of his). I also now have blisters on both feet and feel pretty knackered.
The first two games I got hammered as I got the rhythm back. Unexpectedly, I won the third game and felt pretty competitive for the last three too. Epic win!
Anyway, that's not the big news. Brendan also took the opportunity to let me know he's decided what to get me for my 40th birthday. (I turned 40 five months ago.) My pressie is going to be: tickets to the 2011 Australian Open Grand Final.
Epic brother win.
Wow! That's almost better than an echidna of your very own!!
billytea, you have not only an adorable son, but also a great brother.
I find myself extremely nostalgic for the farm markets and orchards. Want summer now!
I bought a black top off the internet. It was delivered in a plastic bag inside another plastic bag. I opened the outer bag, checked that it was what I ordered, and put it in my bedroom. Two days later, I opened the inner plastic bag and ...
the thing has cat hair on it.
How do they DO that?
It seems to me that you should know the answer: They do it with Zen.
The analytical portion of my brain says static cling on the plastic bag attracts airborne cat hairs, and as the bag is removed static and/or air currents caused by the removal deposit the stray hairs onto the garment.
But where's the fun in that?
Static cling, that makes sense. I did open the bag on my bed, which is covered with the cat-hair-catching quilt.
But I prefer to think it was the Power of Zen.
bow, sound of gong
