Work tomorrow.

Mutterings continued.

My boss is off for the next couple of weeks which means some catching up time for me. He started tidying up his office but didn't quite finish....

I braved the post Xmas crowds at Carousel this morning. I was waiting in line at 8am for the doors to open - the crowd went left to K Mart, I went right to Coles. Some time over the weekend the electricity to Coles' freezers and fridges went off and didn't come back on so the staff were working at throwing out thousands of $ worth of ruined food, washing the floors and trying to rid the appliances of that horrible 'door closed, power off' fridge smell. Very unpleasant.

I wandered into K Mart after the initial rush and bought Dad an iron. Exciting.

Then came home and did a bit of housework.

I had a nice afternoon with Leece and Rob yesterday. We watched Storyteller (The Three Ravens), Muppet Show and MST3K (Gunslinger with Beverly Garland). It was an el cheapo Roger Corman effort that had a very sympathetic strong female lead. And Dr Forrester made TV Frank's head explode. And then we had bbq sausages and onions and pickles.

There was a rather wonderful thunderstorm - hot and steamy air, lightning, thunder and then rain. Unfortunately the rain didn't get too far inland but it was nice while it lasted.

As mentioned below, Ashley is making plans to come to Oz in 2006. This is very exciting.
