Strange name, strange game!

I like the ABC, I must say.  03/04 was the year of 774 for me.  Then yesterday, I discovered 621 for the first time - they were playing the first episode of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on my way home from work. 

(listened to the second episode today)

This morning they played some screaminglly funny speeches from two people in the Australian tv scriptwriting community - well, actually a scriptwriter and a script editor.  Check out if you can find a transcript of it on the ABC website!

(Hey, even better, click on the play button below)

This time it's the fabulous Sarah.  I'm also leaning towards Melbournians at the moment but will probably move on to Sydneysiders in a minute as am running out of names :-( 

Check it out - this is going to be a favourite destination.. Sarah cooks, Sarah eats & Sarah rocks!

It was so hot that my skin stung the instant it got into the sun.  Like acid!

I can tell you I didn't give it a chance to burn - it was already too painful being in the sun. Found out later that yesterday qualified December as the hottest month on Melbourne records since the 1880s.  Phew..no wonder.

Anyway, we were picking up end-of-day bread from the generous Brumby's bakery in Centre Road, Bentleigh.  Across the road and a few shops down, was The Coffee Stop which looks like any of the million mum & dad milkbars across the nation.   Hardly your slick Gelatavita or Trampoline.

It's a big job but I'll be looking through all of them and working out which ones to add to the blogroll.  Mainly a focus on Aussies of course, but I must confess that the south east asian blogs will likely be over-represented!

The BlogRoundUp thing doesn't work at the mo', so I've changed the link to the aggregator view, and also added a menu item ("BlogRoll") so you can see exactly where the news items come from.

That's the temporary patch anyway.  Check it out!

Mmmm yum.  What a great way to wake up. 

Last night we were over at the lovely Christina's and George's.  Had a fantastic time catching up with lots of people.  Also had the rare experience of Joshua being particularly festive and sociable the whole night, but especially on the way out, as he shared out lots of hugs and kisses to all of us.  An occasion to be savoured!

News to me, but not news, I'm sure, is that we are expecting another two arrivals in May and July next year from Naomi and Thanuja.  Congratulations!

That makes three :-0 in three months including #3 in the Kanagasabai clan hehe..  err...so, what is it about August, September and October, guys? ;-)

Yay!  Julie organised an outing for all of us to see this on Boxing Day. 

It was a perfect, sunny day so we parked at her place and walked across to the cinema...  there was some consternation initially because we weren't sure if we were waiting for Ken and Jenny, or if they were meeting us later.  But they met us just after we rounded the corner, so we made a lovely big group walking to the cinema.  

Julie had packed us a bag of mixed treats each - popcorn, chicken in a biskit, M&M's, and a candy cane.  A.Mola brought a big box of Shapes (which Euge helped to demolish more than the rest of us hehe..) and we brought a bag of Uncle Toby's popcorn.  Ken & Jenny brought pop top apple juices which was quite funny because the only child there was Em!!

Hah...near disaster on Christmas day!

Amy hosted this year which meant that moi had to do almost nothing.  I did pick up the turkey rolls ordered from Lennards in Knox City by aforementioned sister (rosemary, garlic and cranberry).  They almost gave me only one of the 2 kg roasts which may have been a good thing in hindsight hehe... at the end of the night, Amy had that extra roast still waiting around for its turn in the limelight.  Never mind, I personally like turkey anytime of year, but especially on Boxing Day :-)

Anyway, thought I'd make a rice stuffing as well to have on the side with it.  There can never be too much stuffing!  Stuffing makes the world go round!  (And other foodie cries like that *grin*) 

Check out the comments down the bottom, I had to put this up here!
