It's compost life Jim, but not as we know it

Out the back of Casa De Almigo lies a big back yard with plenty of weeds, long tall grass for the dog to run and hide in, a lawnmower taking the month off due to lack of petrol, my son's play equipment and tucked in one corner of the grand gardens - a compost bin.
Yep, I'm doing my bit for the environment practically every time I play Jamie Oliver and mother nature obviously is loving the attention.

Looking good Mother Nature!

Especially today when I noticed there's now something strange growing out of it...



Yep, while cleaning up the kitchen from last night's 'Vegetable surprise' (the surprise being the meat components of the dish far outnumbered the veggie parts), I have discovered that there is now alien life creeping out of (and probably deeply imbedded below too) my compost bin.

Lucky me.

What it is, I have no idea but here is some photographic proof:

Celery? Yugoslavian Battle Weed? A triffid? What the hell is this thing?

So horticultural fans of these hallowed pages, I put this to you - what is it? Something grown from a composting vegie seed? A new species I get to name in Latin? Something I can sell to Colombian drug lords? Any guesses, please let me know.

The true meaning of Flo Rida's song 'Whistle'..

The whistle song? What's it about? Read on! Controversial I know but I'm about to reveal the true meaning behind the Whistle song by Flo Rida. Why? Because I'm getting the general feeling that people around me are really missing the true spirit of Mr Rida's epic masterpiece... We're getting right into the real Flo, yo. After all this time, it's still all about that wisal baby song!

Please don't ignore this massage

It's been a while between scam emails - life has been life, work has been hectic, I've been grunting and sweating my way through my exercise sessions and so I've been putting responding to random idiots through my email on the back burner.  Until today when I was kindly asked not to 'ignore this massage.' I hope it's a hot stone one! Trust me, I NEVER ignore a massage. Better set the record straight then...

The coach with the most! Ep 1 - There's a draft in here

Last week I got invited to play Herald Sun KFC Supercoach with some of the guys at work. Pick your team of AFL (Australian Football League or Aussie Rules for those playing at home) superstars and hope they do enough each week during the game (goals, points and running powers slams?) to rack up the points and make you king of the office space by the end of the season! I haven't played a version of this since they first brought it out in the newspaper (where you had to plug in the details of the players by hand!) and have not having the foggiest who in the AFL is half decent currently (aside from the entire Richmond line up), how could this go possibly wrong? Welcome to draft day baby!
