Retail

1.

We get a Daddy-day afternoon on Friday's usually, and today was no exception.
AB has been hanging out for some new reading, so we made a trip to Borders. It was a bit of a dash and grab rather than a longer lingering, but we all got a book each, and that's the main thing.

She got: "We Need to Talk about Kevin", by Lionel Shriver.
He Snr got: PD James, "The Lighthouse" ( he loves that 'moors inspector' style )
and He Jnr got: a Dora the Explorer early reader: "Say Cheese"

I felt like a bit of a goof asking for Dora books, but He Jnr had spotted a U-tech interactive book with sounds, lights, songs and all that jazz, and at $80.00, I had to find a cheap replacement !

Bloody Dora !!

I want a heap of these wine labels

Not really retail, but have any of you seen the new kid's show from Iceland ?

Best thing since Bjork - i'm absolutely hooked.
It's called Lazytown ( but it's full of good healthy, active messages without ramming wholesome goodness down your throat ). And Sporticus has a nice body and a Dick Dastardly moustache that I oddly find very attractive. He can also do aerial flips and the splits.

Sometimes my taste in men worries me ....

Perhaps another pie-in-the-sky thing for us to talk and dream and plan about ( like i've said before, that's the most fun ! ) .. but after a few flippant conversations, observations, and my mum saying 'well, why don't you?', AB and I are making investigations into perhaps starting a new business, unrelated to anything we've ever done before ( uh-oh ! ).

Unfortunately, that's all I can say, and possibly ALL I will ever say, but i'm all full of beans at the thought of such a venture at the moment, so had to blurt it out.

No, that's it. That's all i've got.
