Mixed Bag

A few general observations and such before I go away for a week and have a glorious holiday for the first time in a year.

  • I've been sick. Man Cold* sick. Some dodgy Monkey gave it to me, and I'm Not Impressed, especially since he gets the good drugs and I get nothing. I think I'll be better by Monday, when we leave, but in the meantime: WAAAA!
  • Spudly can now be seen moving around! I oughta sell tickets. This is most definately the weirdest thing I've ever experienced in my life. I feel like I'm in Alien.
  • I had really bad reflux last night and had to "sleep" propped up for the first time. And I was hoping to get away with no dodgy tummy stuff happening. Hmph. Perhaps it was the packet of Mint Slice biscuits I had for dinner...
  • I found a really cool bug in my strawberry patch today. Anyone know what it is? I know its a beetle. But what kind of beetle?




Its our second wedding anniversary on Tuesday, so we're heading off to the spot where we started our honeymoon and go back to every year. We have a self-contained cottage on the clifftop overlooking private wetlands. Its quiet, very secluded, and the only sounds you can hear are the frogs and birds of the lagoon. I can not wait.

When I get back, I might write a post on how a Monkey and a Panda got together.

I wont send a postcard. And as much as I dig you all, I'm glad you wont be there.





* Man Cold: a type of upper respiratory infection that is essentially very mild and short-lived, but the sufferer is convinced nonetheless they are going to die.

  1. I hope you have a wonderful time away. Enjoy, relax and for goodness sake, get well! I hope everything goes perfectly and "go spudly go". Maybe Spudly is going to be a dancer, or a kickboxer?

  2. p.s. It looks like a Christmas beetle to me. I found this site with pics and info that I think match it too - http://www.faunanet.gov.au/wos/factfile.cfm?Fact_ID=164

Comments make blogging a conversation, rather than mere self-indulgent navel-gazing. Look at that big empty space down there...just waiting for your thoughts.
