Massive news has rocked Australia, there was a landslide in our Fight For Your Flashback and our search for a Pony almost kicked off an all in..
IN WORLD NEWS TODAY
In the US, former President Donald Trump is being investigated for something. I didn't delve into what exactly, more glossed over the headlines but I'm sure there's rarely a week that goes past where he's not in the headlines for something.

| Is this from Bunnings? |
Over in the UK they're looking for a new Prime Minister and apparently there's 8 people currently in contention. Now to be honest I didn't actually look at any of the candidates but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if at least one of them was a former contestant from I'm A Big Celebrity Master Renovation Brother Chef Rescue, Get Me Out of There or whatever the latest reality TV gear is.
Then in India they're trying to solidify a place on a the United Nations Security Council based on the solid fact that they're the most populous country in the world.
Over here in Australia however, our top story today seems to be the price rise
when it comes to your local Bunnings sausage sizzle on a Saturday. For the
last 15 years it's set us back just $2.50 (onions and sauce optional) but due
to inflation and the world running out of things not to increase in price yet,
it's now being hiked up to $3.50 a snag.
Drinks remain at $1.50 a
pop.
You may laugh but this is massive news here in Oz because those snag sizzles that raise a fair bit of coin for local charities are legendary. I mean the only other sausage sizzle I can think of that ranks in near importance is the Democracy sausage and you have to wait for an election to come around on the calendar first before those come out to play.
OOOH, BARRACUDA
Unlike my current season of AFL Supercoach, I had a massive win today in the battle of the 70's tunes. Fight for your Flashback today was based on animals and my choice of Heart's Barracuda absolutely tore the house down in terms of votes, the people (thanks people!) deciding it really needed to stop a hole in Elton John's Honky Cat (Lu's choice.)
And since it did so in such convincing fashion (12 votes to just 2!) it deserves to be played right here right now. So how about this version that not only features the Wilson Sisters doing what they do best, but also Jerry Cantrell and Chris Cornell!
And after that resounding victory, current scores are now Lu 8 Al 6. I'm catching up baby!
WHEN ARE YOU NOT HERE?
The boss reminded me that I still hadn't put my holidays in officially (well through the official office holiday booking system) and the reason is...well I forgot what time we agreed on. Turns out it's at the end of next week which is creeping up ridiculously quickly and suddenly I'll wake up one day with three weeks off and no plan of how to spend that time away.
Actually tell a lie, I will be finishing off my latest book Last Thief Standing and I will endeavour to post up a proper post about it closer to launch complete with blurb etc. What I can tell you about it at this stage is that it won't have any red bottoms or raunchy three way romps with aliens. If that's more your flavour then have I got some suggestions for you!
So there'll be a lot of writing, editing and possibly some more cover finagling in anticipation to launch day (whenever that will be) but also a lot of coffee, sleep ins, late nights playing various video games and catching up with streaming series on my list and maybe even some sporadic exercise thrown in for good measure. I'm not exactly sure yet, my holiday plans are young and anything could happen really.
ABOUT THIS PONY..
So yesterday I wrote about the Pony Lu saw. Today we followed it up with not only the Pony's owner commenting on Facebook about the adventure but plenty of other fans of the show chimed in with their own stories of strange animals being walked in around town such as sheep, ducks and even a pig.
Strangely too some kind of family beef (the argument, not an actual cow) erupted from one comment on this post involving sons, stepmothers and toxic relationships throw all about the shop. How we got to that is anyone's guess but I don't think the Pony cares as long as it gets a nice walk and possibly a carrot at the end of it.
TOMORROW: TURN ON YOUR TV
What TV show are you re-watching at the moment or planning to? We're asking this very question tomorrow on the show. I'm currently watching the latest series of the Boys and Westworld and just starting to sink my attentions into F1: Drive to Survive (again why it's taken me this long to do it is anyone's guess) but the show I've most recently watched again from start to finish?
Firefly. And it's just as good with each re watch. Now that I've done that I'll probably dig out my copy of Serenity (it's somewhere around this mess) and then go back to Doll House.
Also on the list of things to rewatch and re-enjoy again:
Game of Thrones
Altered Carbon first series
The Expanse
Falling Skies
Not Terranova. Oh god no.
Chat tomorrow!
