Pedro- I'd be lucky to freedive ONE metre
Deb-Returning phone calls of any description gets me unexcited.
Ruth- I kept doing that last night.. 1am. 3am. 4:30am.. Doh!
Wendy- It's also annoying when you don't put the meat in the freezer fast enough, leaving it in the fridge for a few days, by which time it's pretty borderline..
Cj- all the best with the job
Kim- okay, okay, I just thought maybethe egg had some sort of cool built in system meaning the contents would stay good at room temperature.
Nath- aha! so that's why you comment..
Jess- But the egg is airtight.. I believe that maybe there's some cool system at work that we are not making use of because we are so quick to rush to the fridge.
More soon..
Sorry, Ben - eggs are not airtight. If you try incubating eggs in an airtight container you'll suffocate the growing embryo.
Drats. Lousy Science For Life.
Maso- I can understand your unexcitement about Jane Eyre, but I'd encourage you to open your heart and get in touch with your femine side for a couple of hours, brother.
Karen-I know what you mean about blog posts. Sometimes it feels too hard! Hope all's going well with the pregnancy.
Al-I have the same problem with books, it's hopeless. I have book A.D.D.
Laetitia-a brain dump sounds efficient, but also very messy. I'd be inclined to put some old towels down first.
Simone- Yeah I saw them for $13.99 the other day. I long for a banana.
Elsie- Yeah that happens to me about every two hours, every night.
Beth- Hey Beth, long time no see! I especially hate when drivers have the phone in one hand, and the other on the wheel, so they don't bother indicating..GRR!
Hi Benny, I know I'm late but it's been a heck of a week:
- Visit to Canberra over weekend for brother's 40th
- Worked Sunday afternoon trying to finish work I should've finished on Friday before driving, slowly, through horrible traffic, to Canberra, to get there late
- Coming back to Sydney
- Taking my aunt to church
- Driving to my grandma's funeral
- Being in the QandA audience
- Getting back to work
- Going to National ceremony at Opera House to receive my big award
- Going out to dinner with my Dad and WSM (wicked stepmother)
- Going to the gym
- Going to my friend Jess' India night where we heard about her mission trip to India.
- Collapsing exhausted on my bed on Saturday, where I currently remain.
Oops, I have completed neglected to answer the questions.
1. I hate it when I have so little time at home my house turns into a disaster and I collapse into bed every night from sheer exhaustion (see above!)
2. Absoloodle - they last longer
3. Going to USA/Canada with my Dad in 2 weeks today!
4. Fear of being with my Dad for 4 weeks non-stop
5. Survive going away with my Dad for 4.5 weeks!
Ben - $7.99 / kg at my local green grocer - sometimes it pays to live in a lower socio-economic area (I also have a bulk-billing doctor).
Georgina - your life sounds as hideously hectic as mine - enjoy your trip!
George- hectic! I hope the ceremony was cool:)
