Well, DER!!!

apparently the definition of "news" these days has been expanded to "stating the bleeding obvious".

just back from my whirlwind trip to perth for the Festival of Barry. stand by for full details of the weekend, including the big trip to Sizzler, when i get rid of this pesky "work" nonsense.

toodlepip!

Happy Birthday, Barry!!

my dearest darling daddy turns 70 tomorrow! as i shall be in perth from tonight participating in the Festival of Barry (starting with the Opening Ceremony and Thanksgiving Service at.. er.. Sizzler - yes, more about THAT when i get back) i have taken this brief opportunity to post his smiling face so that you all may gaze upon His Barryness.

and in brief tribute may i say that all that is right, and good, and proper, and admired by others in me - i got from him. the wrong bits i cannot explain, but i think it was the beer he let me drink when i was a toddler.

i love you daddy, happy birthday!

Blonde Moment #1

we were driving through docklands yesterday, looking at the roof of one of the old rail cargo buildings which was festooned with seagulls.

"i wonder why one of those seagulls is just sitting up there flapping its wings like it's trying to take off?" says my driving companion.

"hmmm", i pronounce, clearly very knowledgeable in the ways of seagull behaviour, "i think it's stuck!". as we got closer i said "wow, it's a really really big seagull, and it's definitely stuck, it's just up there flapping its wings like crazy, and its feet won't lift off the roof!".

thankfully neither of us called the rspca (seagull rescue branch), for as we got closer still i realised that what i thought was a really really huge seagull stuck by the feet to the roof flapping its wings furiously was, in fact, two seagulls "having an intimate moment" (as they say on bad american reality tv shows). sometimes i really am in touch with my inner jessica simpson.

Right, let's try that ONE MORE TIME...

following an alarming bit of computer retardedness, i managed to lose my last blog. yes, lose it. after two whole posts. well, not lose it exactly... it was still there, i just couldn't get back into it to do anything to it. i don't even know where to start to try and explain how i did that... i have no idea. anyway i have moved out of that address and over here to lovely toriworld.blogspot.com. i think the light here is much better, shows up the green in my eyes.

i suspect the old address at perfunktori.blogspot.com will float around in cyberspace forever... just like a bit of astronaut poo, circling the globe in perpetuity. two little posts, wandering the stratosphere like a digital milo and otis... sigh...

you will see i have started off as i mean to continue - capital letters just get in the way of my creative flow, so i have cast them aside like a constraining pair of nannapants to let my literary juices loose upon the world.

right! enough blogporn, you're all vomiting on your keyboards now, i can tell.

byeeeeee!
