In a shocking turn of events, it appears that I have nothing to blog about today.  I might have mentioned once or twice that I’m working full time at the moment, and my poor little fingers have been worked to the bone. Which makes typing an interesting proposition. Coupled with that: I only had the morning with the kids, so they didn’t really have a chance to do anything funny to pass on to you.

The cat is asleep, Nath is snoring and Casino Royale is on the telly and I am, quite frankly, beyond inspiration. So it appears, dear RRs that there will be no blog today.

Before the snore-a-thon began, I did ask Nath what I should blog about, and he suggested a chat about things that money can’t buy. So far I can only think of intangible things like my soul and possibly health, but money could give you some different options on the health thing, so I guess it’s not entirely true.  As for my soul, I could be persuaded to sell that off in exchange for the house I want overlooking Little Cove.

Little Cove, Little Cove, my soul for a cove

I am reminded of a bit of repartee I had with my Anatomy lecturer in second year. We were discussing who we would or, in my case, would not sleep with for money (it was around the time of ‘The Colour of Money’).

Him: Would you sleep with me for a million dollars?

Me: (Checking out his weird anatomy-lab scented hands and Ned Kelly-not in fashion then-beard) …Umm, yes, I guess…

Him: Well then, would you sleep with me for ten bucks?

Me: (Aghast) No way, what do you think I am?

Him: We’ve already determined that, now we’re just haggling over the price.

So I guess it’s true what you say about breathing in the pickling fluid (it makes you nuts, in case you haven’t heard).

I thought I should leave you with one more thing… I went to a Problogger seminar on the weekend and one of the speakers shared this clip.  It’s funny if you are on Instagram.

And on that note, I bid you adieu.

I hope your pelvic floor muscles are holding up to the comedy of the blog today.

It’s that time of the week, so here are the hits people:

1. I never thought I’d say it- usually I’m all Heckle and Jeckle about it, but finally, we got some rain up here.  I can see some tiny shoots of light green peeping around the brown of the lawns.  The Lily Pillys have lifted their heads.  Some of the tacky humid salt air has been washed away.

2.  I got a ticket to the Problogger Seminar all the way over there in August.  Seems like a strange thing to do, especially so far away, but I did it, and I’m weirdly excited, without even knowing why.  That’s a lot of posts that need to write themselves to justify the weekend.  Shhh, don’t disturb me: Typing.

3.  Little Cove.  I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: you, my friend, are the best beach in the known world.  Except on high-tide.  Then you suck.  But otherwise: the CEO of Awesome.

No filter: this is the actual water colour…

4.  My new runners.  Hahaha just joking.  They also suck, because they represent almost two hundred bucks of potential pain.  You can stop looking at me right now shoes.  Back in your box.

5.  Thai fish cakes from The Seafood Market at Noosa Junction.  A delicious dinner for an inspired* chef, such as myself.  Heat ’em up, chuck with salad and a dipping sauce, and you are the Home Maker of the Week (voted by me).

*And by inspired, I mean shithouse.

So, tell me your hits…
