Rag Doll

rag doll

Good friends, I would agree that a rag doll and a clay doll are indeed artificial dolls but what on eath is a real doll? Isn’t that like 1940’s sorta reference “oh that Susie she’s a real doll”. If you any other suggestion would a ‘real’ doll would look like just feel free to post a comment.

Captain Answers!!

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

Ever have one of those weeks where you are just Captain Answers and most of those around are joyed and amazed at the fact that you have most of the answers at your very fingerprints.

Well as you very intelligent people who read this blog can probably guess Herr Chops has had a pretty big week at work and is so far passing with high colours. This is not too say that it has not had it’s moments and has not made me as busy as a busy thing on busy pills whilst using a electrified busy machine. I have had a conference with between 3 and 5 thousand delegates. So poor Chops is flat out like the Lizard drinking.

I have funny stories to tell but Chops needs a nap so he can get past 8.30pm before crashing tonight. I may update over the weekend as we are away in the land of the Police State for a couple of days.

codkhorse

This is one of Mrs lovely One absolute fav’s from the chart. What The??? I have never heard of a codkhorse. It does say rocking wooden horse but as you can see it has no rockers on which to rock and it does not look all that wooden and what does the cod have to do with it??

Puppet

I would agree that playing puppet is very interesting. I have another question is what are those things in the picture they don’t look like puppets. I also think playing with puppets is much more fun than playing with a puppet.

Partly Dedicated

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

Due to the fact that I come from a nation that at best is sports obsessed I feel compelled to watch anyone wearing green and gold go round even if we not the best in the world. A case in point was my devotion to the watching of the winter olympics.

This devotion has carried on to the Soccer World Cup. I lay there on the couch to watch Australia Vs Japan. The next morning just prior to the news coming on Mrs Lovely One asked me what the score was I said I did see that it was 1-1 and that was the end of me I must have fallen asleep again. I was quite embarrassed when I found out that Australia had scored all of it’s goals in a nine minute period and I somehow managed to wake to see the goal being scored and missed the next two less than 10 minutes away.

Dumpling

dumpling

I know we have been stuck on the dumpling bandwagon before but these are different. The last ones were of the glutinous rice variety that one makes in the dragon baot races. These dumplings are exclusively the domain of the Northerners. I am not sure what one has to do to qualify as a northerner or if one needs to show their papers to prove that they may indeed consume the dumplings either.

Comments About Comments

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

I thought it was time that I update about some comments that have been made.

Curate once again continues to slam my views on politics and culture and to quote Ben Lee that’s the way I like it. Strange i know.

Dyfrig I have no doubt that did indeed happen but I need to know where you holding hands with your wife when they asked if your were brother and sister. I know this will enrage the Curate and others. I do love the Americans and their country and would never have had that experience in good ol’ Illinois. (today is the anniversary of when I left for the states last year)

Yay I think this is the closest I will ever come to teaching a med student anything. Thank you for making me feel like I have.

Till Next Time Keep On Commenting!,

The Party to End All Parties!!

Wednesday, June 14th, 2006

Guilt is a funny human emotion. If you are any thing like me I often feel it and sometimes without much reason. Take for instance the semi constant noise from friends and family about the lack of housewarming. There wasn’t much guilt to do with that to be honest. The guilt did arise when people continued to ask us what they could buy for our home. We felt that we had already dipped at the well of generosity on way to many occasions before. We had already had a engagement party at which we were overwhelmed by generosity and then the wedding did the same and now less than 12 weeks later people wanted to buy us more stuff. We did allow those that really felt like they needed to but us more stuff the opportunity to do so and accepted the gifts with warm and welcoming hearts. The bounty included some crochet tea towel jobbies that one can affix
to the fridge or oven. They are handy to have I have been told. I am yet to see the point myself. We were also given a Brisbane gay pride choir stubby holder. Our collection of stubby holders was quite limited and has now expanded our collection by 50%. We also were given a couple of late wedding presents including one that came all the ways from India. As always as I unwrap stuff I think it is going to be place mats when I turn them over they are cushion covers.

Before the party could start we undertook some fairly hefty preparations which included the making of hummus and avocado dip. I have been told my hummus is pretty darn good from several people which I take as high praise. I am yet to test it out on the police state who rates himself as the king of all hummus judges. The avocado dip was a little too smooth which is interesting as I tried something in the hope of making it more chunky which failed.

We assembled the BBQ together on the morning of the party. I am not very dexterous at all and was quite frustrated and almost at the point of walking away and leaving it completely in the hands of Mrs Lovely One to assemble. I did not allow it to beat me and kept fighting. We seasoned the plate with oil and then christened it with the cooking of vege patties, rissoles, snags, chicken and some steak sandwich thickness rib fillet. It could be truly described as a BBQ as we had met the quota of 4 kinds of meat. Anything else is a pale imitation of a BBQ. And to listen to suggestions of a sausage sizzle alone are completely outlandish and ridiculous. we also served buns and salad to keep everyone happy.

Dessert included two kinds of cake from Sara Lee and what my sister claims are the best choc chip cookies in the world. I think this a fairly big claim to make and one I am willing to prove her wrong on.

Otherwise a good time was had by all and the Rainbow Connection’s bitch was the highlight of the party and kept everyone entertained for ages. I am not sure why but those little sausage dogs are so cute.
