weekend omnibus edition...

it's pretty obvious that explorer was created by a man... if i have too many windows open, poor old explorer gets lost, wont ask for directions, craps itself and crashes - usually when i'm just about to preview my post, i end up losing anything i had typed. when it happened last night i couldn't be bothered starting again, therefore today we have a bumper saturday/sunday bloggy issue.

saturday was a very lazy day. i slept until almost 11.30am despite my best intentions of getting up early and doing the washing and the housework... most of the afternoon was spent napping on the couch. i did manage to drag myself from my slumber to go to the supermarket with miss e and then back to her place for a lazy dinner and to watch ghost world on dvd. a very strange little movie. i just adore steve buscemi.

sunday was an altogether more active day. i did manage to drag myself out of bed early and get 3 loads of washing done before the rain started again. even though it was bucketing down miss e and i kept our plans to go down to coogee for brunch. instead of walking down there, we got the bus. after our coffee and toasted turkish bread with hank's peach & strawberry jam and ricotta (YUMMO!!), we walked along the beachfront and up to the headland where the memorial to the victims of the bali bombings stands. it really is a beautiful monument - almost art nouveau with it graceful curves. the view from the top of the hill up there is amazing. the waves crashing on the rocks were the most gorgeous aquamarine, even though the water beyond was quiet grey. the wet weather meant that coogee was not it's usual hive of activity so it was very peaceful wandering along watching the brave souls riding their surfboards out in the grey green surf.

anyway, it's time for some

i have subscribed to the top five newsletters for a few years and they always have some fabulous links - here are two i've found in recent issues...
this one cracked me up. it is entirely pointless but a lot of fun...
this one requires a little more concentration - i'm still trying to work it out...

i'm off to cook some dinner now. seeya...
