A Very Special Birthday Message

Sent to me by Paula from Wodonga Court...

A bit of trivia for you. Tim Tams were invented this day in 1958 and were named after a horse that won the Kentucky Derby. I know how much you like Tim Tams so I thought you might like to give them a birthday party!!!!

So, Happy Birthday to the Tim Tam! Go and slam one in celebration today!

5 Ways You Know It's Spring In Melbourne

1) Outside is a lot brighter than normal.

2) You can take off one of the blankets and you don't have to wear socks to bed any more.

3) Attack rain - one minute it will be sunny, the next it's pissing down. But it's still warm.

4) You have a permanently stuffy nose from hayfever, and everyone's eyes look like they're on speed from the anti-histamines.

5) You have to start shaving your legs again because you can ride your bike without the extra-heavy jacket and leggings.

Ah, Melbourne in Spring. It's so wacky. :)

And yes, I look severely drug-affected this morning - the Telfast makes my pupils contract to pinpricks and the rest of my eyes go all glazed and shiny. Scary. *grins* But at least I can breathe now.

Oh, landmark event last night - I finally paid off Walkabout on my credit card. Yep, the cheque from the Tax Department had been cashed. No more debt... Wow, it's quite liberating, really. Could explain why I've been sleeping so much better lately.

Bored again

So I'm taking online personality tests, just for the amusement value...

Spam

I've been getting these regular spam emails from someone called MC (I'm pretty sure it's not the Mouse Carcass we know and love), with the subject header "Had kids yet?"

It's getting irritating.

Enough that I've had to educate my family (well, mainly my grandparents) about the sheer unlikelihood of me procreating, enough that I have to avoid baby conversations from my co-workers (one has a bun in the oven), but now my email's turned against me. Et tu, optusnet? Et tu?

Actually, I'm tempted to actually read what it has to offer. I have this image of someone trying to sell instant babies. Y'know, like sea monkeys - just add water and there you have your very own poop-factory.
