The marvellous Kate rang tonight and offered us tickets to see ” Jerry Springer the Opera “. Of course, we didn’t have any plans for tomorrow that couldn’t be broken, and we decided to fob off the kid on my parents (who are going to Parkes for 6 weeks on Wednesday, so clearly they need more time with the kid!). Sally reviewed it last week, and I thought “sounds great, what a pity we can’t afford to go”. Now I just have to decide what to wear. What could possibly be appropriate?

I feel so much better now!
Of course, I am a little pissed off that the eminent doctor says that women should feel empowered to seek medication to help “if they have a job, like a doctor” and they have to work.
Personally, I think ALL women should feel empowered to seek help, regardless of employment status.
But I’m not a doctor 😉
Mark has fixed comment notification on the blog, so there should be less of a delay now that I will be notified of pending comment. Yay! Thanks darling 🙂

A million years ago, when I was working on Babe: Pig in the City , I walked into the huge studio at Fox for my first night on the job, and saw a giant animatronic pelican. The special effects unit was working nights, because the main unit was, and George Miller wanted everyone working on the same shifts. A microwave link was set up between main unit, second unit, and I think also the edit suite. If main unit was on night shoots, so were the rest of us. Anyone who has worked nights will tell you that the first night shift is a strange thing. You tried to stay up late the night before, you tried to sleep in and do nothing all day so that you could make it through the night, and you turn up for work and can’t stop yawning. Add to that the nervousness of working on such a huge scale, with a new crew that you don’t know, and it’s nerve-wracking. So under the circumstances, the pelican was a bit of a shock. It was big, it was feathered, it had a huge leathery bill, and bright yellow rimmed eyes. It was the fakest fake thing I had ever seen. It was surrounded by a team of puppeteers, tweaking each little movement, trying to make the flying motion look like a real pelican. Good luck, I thought, and wandered off to find the camera truck. Some months later, on another job, I was at Sea World on the Gold Coast, where they have a pelican rehabilitation facility. I was lucky enough to stand about three feet away from a real, live, actual pelican. Amazing, I thought. It looks just like an animatronic pelican. Inigo sees a pelican for the first time Waves! Much less scary than they were last time we were at the beach on his birthday Everything is less scary when daddy is around Buried in sand Fun, despite the taste The end

Show me a mother that doesn’t feel guilt, and I’ll show you a man. Which is totally crap. But in my experience, mothers of my generation feel guilty about everything. Guilty for not working and contributing to society, guilty for working and not being a stay at home mother. Now, for something to lift the mood – baby capybaras , the worlds largest rodent. I’ve been know to fancy a rodent or two 😉

Although my knitting has slowed to about a row every week, I still have the compulsion to check out what’s new… And today, I was rewarded with the worst crime against yarn I’ve ever seen. A conglomeration of abominations. But to balance that, I found this – For $5 a meter! I’m going to make a new baby carrier, the colours are perfect.
