things what i'm thinking, recently

What ho, chaps?

I haven't really covered all the good topics recently, have I?  In case you felt like you were missing out, here's the highlights package in a lovely little listicle:
  • Royal baby: I approve.  Post-partum tummy? Real life, mah friends (or so I am told). 
  • Simon Cowell's harem: well, bully for him.  Sounds like a baby will upset the pecking order. 
  • Earthquakes: I felt one! In the office! In Auckland! That's ridiculous!  Guess what! I froze! I did not get under my desk! Hopeless in an emergency!
  • Hilary Mantel: OH MY GOD SO GOOD.  Read her now.  Do it.
  • Blonde: I am heading that way tomorrow (no, not a NEWS item as such, but then does the above really count?)
  • Baths: are really not that great when you hop in, inhale in preparation for a big sigh of contentment and realise that you're searing your nostril linings with the acrid scent of bleach.  I think my MIL bleached the bathtub without my knowledge, which is super sweet.  I'm also super clean, having bathed in dilute sodium hypchlorite.
  • Names for the North and South Island: OF COURSE Te Ika O Maui and Te Wai Pounamu should be known as such.  No one is taking away the right to call them the North and South Island because GEOGRAPHY. 
  • Oh god, I'm feeling uncomfortable.  I think the gastroenteritis that has been passed round my rellies recently is headed my way. 
And on that note! Ta ta for now!

  1. I am so behind on your posts! The upside of this is is that I get to procrastinate and be entertained for that little bit longer today. Im at the library so will try not to giggle-snort too loudly (kind of failed on that count already after reading about your bathtub experience).

Tell me your deepest secrets. Or your opinion on the Oxford comma. Or your favourite pre-dinner drink. Anything really, as long as it's not mean.
