Ah, I just love advertising! When I’m not zapping ads, I am paying such close attention…
Last night’s treat was a shampoo with “Cashmere extracts”. Mmm, that sounds nice … soft, silky … except that cashmere comes from GOATS, doesn’t it? Somehow “Pamper yourself with a goat” doesn’t cut it…
Lost somewhere in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne (OK, it was a few weeks ago). It’s a terrific boomerang, made by the guy at Healesville, and it flies a treat. It has the word “LEFT” marked clearly on it, and it only works if you throw it left handed. I’m a righty, so to […]
Well, I located some great fabrics, and some googly eyes. Can you believe there are a pair of nine year olds that got a SEWING KIT for their birthday?? It’s true! Plenty of other masculine, robot, killer, spy dinosaur things too, but a real life sewing kit … now that’s something.
