Of course Alissa reckons this is a little nerdy....

...... but now that I have discovered it, am going to bloody use it!! And some have responded already so this may just work. And she'll come round I know it.

So Happy Australia day everyone. When you're all lounging in your beds on Paddy's day, I'll be suffering at work, like you all will be today. So yis will have your revenge. For me, a day off now means doing the garden and cleaning the pool in advance of guests coming over. The garden, there's a thing. 10 years of living in an apartment and I could barely keep a plant alive. Now I have all these trees and plants that I can't spell and would look at home in the Day of the Triffids to maintain . Or let the sub-tropical weather look after of course. Round here, people really welcome "a bit of rain" - though they would prefer a week solid. Not happening though and the dam levels keep falling....... maybe thats a business opportunity? If Ireland could find a way of selling its rain to Australia, we'd all be laughing and I'd be rich, RICH I tells ya!!

So then, tis time for the whipper snipper........ as Triple J radio play the top 100 of all time. Honestly, do Placebo deserve to be in that FFS?

We'll talk.

And that was Christmas day down under... a good day, but so missing Marian.
