What's New? Freezing Cold. More Stew.

DULL DULL DULL... DING-DONG THE DULLARD'S GONE! So depressed yesterday I was lying on the floor dreading the day. Lying there for hours sleeping and sleeping again. Nasty business. Till finally I got up and resumed the world and nothing was as bad as I'd feared it was going to be ... (what a surprise).

I've had loads of hits from Japan! In fact 19% of yesterday's traffic was from there. Can any Japanese person explain why? What did I do? Except get Google Translate to do a highly cogent comment for me for a Japanese blog I found on Blogger Play!

Sorry I didn't write anything yesterday due to dullarly depression and also running out of time and being too stingy with topup money till today...

I've not been doing very much at all of any interest to anyone. Except I'm making yet another stew. I've left out the posh ingredients this time (the tin of chopped tomatoes base, the courgette/zucchini and the okra) and am stewing up what's left. Along with a tin of intellectual red kidney beans. So let's see how that goes.

(Loads of yummy neck of stewing lamb's in there too. Of course!)

So Labour won the Australian elections. After 17 years of Mr Howard's (was that his name) "democratic" party monopoly. Reactions please from Down Under. You know how I love loathesome politicians!!

Baby Itchy Robo went for a ping in the early hours of this morning. When I wasn't too freezing cold to move from under my tent of a blanketry. Yes! Nighttime temperatures in London have been little over zero. Most inconvenient.

Now I have to go for now and sort my furry boiled eggs out. Etc.

One last thought. When I make Baby Itchy a star of the hip-hop and rap world, what name should I give her? Was thinking: "Furry Fur".. ... .... ;->... ..??

  1. Much as I hate to admit it, those flipping hamsters made me laugh.

    Damn you for giving me more laughter-line wrinkles!

  3. Inexplicable: I got the All Saints Saints and Sinners album incorporating that track for a mere 50p in the Sue Ryder shop. Or somewhere like that... ;->...

    Ropi: that is too true ...

  4. Where/how do you go on the internet?

    I'm losing the plot. Did I tell you I saw some roborovskis in the pet shop and that I thought you'd made up the name? I think I did.

  7. Hi Gleds, Actually John Howard's only been PM for 11 1/2 years but been in politics for 33 years. Since the Liberals lost last night, he's decided to retire altogether.

    Now we will just have to wait and see what the Labor Govt brings. At the moment the country is in a great financial position, thanks to the Libs who brought Australia back from the brink of going under. The last time Labor was in power interest rates shot up to 17%at the moment they're 6.something%, even with all the interest rate rises.

    Also the Libs have been very good to people in my age group, but that could change, too. We just have to wait and see.

    Take care

  8. Hi Gleds ~~ First Jeanette is a very
    dear friend. The only relatives I have that blog are my brother Peter and his son Marcus. Sorry you are still feeling down. and hope you can soon turn that around.
    Let me say, I am less than thrilled about the election results. Labour
    always seem to get us in huge debt
    etc. See how they go. I like John
    Howard. Take care of yourself.
    Warm regards, Merle.

  11. Hi Gleds

    I'm one of those who also remember interest rates at 17% and high unemployment only too well last time labor where in. Maybe not too much will change with Mr Rudd - he didn't have any new ideas but seemed to say they would do things better. I hope that means better then they run our state of Queensland where he's from.

    ...Furry Fur - she could do a cover of the song I heard just the other day called "Just a song about ping pong" by a young Aussie band called Operator Please. She would love to ping around to it I'm sure *!*
