This is how I roll……
Anything could turn up in this section. It may be a thought or opinion that I have on something, or a funny thing that has just happened. A mixed bag of posts that capture my everyday life.
I fell asleep for 30 minutes and my son Max got hold of my phone and re- programmed my personal Siri settings for my name. This means that every time I use Siri, she calls me “Bollocks”. He decided to try and better it later on, and used “Hairy Testicles”. Gotta love 12yo boy humour!
Read MoreConfession of a “Tingler” Fruit tingles are no longer what they used to be and I am not happy. Someone is messing with the recipe in my opinion and the new version is nowhere near as good. Sure… the pink, orange, yellow and green tingles pass the taste test , but what about the elusive ‘speckled tingle’ ? You know the one, the yellow tingle stunningly scattered with small morsels of tanginess from the other colours in the packet. That’s right, the ‘holy grail’ of tropical flavoured candy is not…
Read MoreWhat’s more embarrassing????…… 1. Driving along the streets of Adelaide in your Mercedes SLK200 coupe lookin’ smooth, when your rear wheel falls off in front of an audience? Or 2. Being caught in these horrendous shorts while you retrieve your missing wheel from a lady walking past? Or 3. Wearing a giraffe t-shirt with matching shoes to go with the giraffe t-shirt! (This incident just happened 15 mins ago in the city) Nice photography – “Snapper Max”.
Read MoreCostanza Rant of the Week : ‘Pass the Parcel’ at children’s parties needs to be OVERHAULED! That’s right, I said it!….no one has had the guts to say it till now, but as parents we have lost it!!! When preparing the game ‘pass the parcel’ the modern parent now places a chocolate in every wrapping layer, so everyone wins a prize. This is because it is all about our own child’s feelings and overprotective parenting. The result is that once each child gets their chocolate after each layer is unwrapped,…
Read MoreRecently asked my ‘tech savvy’ 14 yo son (Zak) the following: Brett: “Have you seen one of these before?” Zak: “No….is that a phone??” Zak: “How the hell do you use that thing anyway?” so simple yet so confusing
Read MoreSneak preview of the latest in summer ‘man shrugs’. You can’t say I don’t inform you on the latest fashions people!
Read MoreA very awkward Siri generated text from Tanya Partington to our 14yo son Zak. Am glad there was no ‘?’ after the word sex. but I gather he is happy with his new nickname!
Read MoreWhat an iconic SA business the Port Elliot Bakery is. How many businesses have a constant 30m queue outside waiting to buy pies etc even in 40 degree weather?. (pic taken yesterday). Their honey sticks are insane!:-)
Read MoreI recently posted a letter on Facebook in regard to the Emergency Services Levy that in simple terms means volunteers have to ‘pay to volunteer’ to protect us. ( which is wrong on so many levels) . I then sent that letter on to the Heavy Hitters of Emergency Services and hoped they could make a difference with it. I am pleased to see that on page 5 of today’s Advertiser that ” people power” is starting to stir and some ‘heat'( excuse the pun) is being put on the…
