Just a singlet, pair of jocks and a single sock do not a work outfit make..
ALL OVER THE SHOP THIS MORNING
It was one of those nights/early morning starts. I waited for all three of my alarms to go off before I rose (and even though they're spaced at five minute interviews, strangely it still felt like a good half hour between then), had a shower and stepped out to find I'd started getting clothes ready the previous night...and then obviously got bored halfway, opting for something else to do entirely.
Given how cold these winter mornings are too currently, I felt it unwise to go to work both pants less and sporting just one sock and so I found myself crawling in the dark in the laundry hunting for something to wear. I didn't want to turn on a light in case I woke the kids, I also didn't want to make much noise at all in the process so I was playing the role of a slightly confused half dressed ninja.
I found everything I needed, eventually.
Sharing this story on the show today, Lu revealed she'd almost been killed by a pair of errant kangaroos on her way in - so it must be a day of strangeness for all.
NOT THE ONLY ONES
The guy who played our Free Money Minute competition wrapped things up by saying something about writing music for Michael Jackson and Pink Floyd, only to have it stolen by a record label, which had nothing to do with any of the ten true or false questions. Yeah we're not sure what he meant either.
BEST HOLIDAY?
After Lu spent nearly a solid month of holidaying in Italy, today we asked when and where your best holiday was and through our Facebook fans shared everything from trekking across Australia to a trip to Barbados back in the late 80s. And while I've spent time in plenty of Aussie road trips and some time in Bali (okay) and New Zealand (good fun), best had to be exploring parts of the United States.
It was a family trip with my mother and brother, two years after the events of
Sept 11 so security everywhere was still very strict but for very good
reasons. Regardless, we started in Anaheim and checked out everything from
Disneyland to California Land, Chicago's Miracle Mile, crazy Vegas (staying at
the Circus Circus hotel), train riding through the rockies to Denver and then
heading back to Cali again.
In a word: Amazing. People were so
friendly and accommodating and we had a ball. While the choice of transport
around the traps (Amtrak) wasn't the most comfortable, we had a great time and
we ended up having one of the most memorable family adventures ever.
I'd go back in a heartbeat, my own family now in tow.
A shout out to the guy in the Chicago clothes shop who once learning I was Australian, asked me to explain what a Billabong was. He sold the brand of clothes there but didn't know the meaning. Boy was he surprised when he learnt it wasn't a giant surfing wave like first thought (cos all you aussies surf, right? Well no...), more a small flat water hole..
TOMORROW - FRIDAY TIME
Flock of 80s, weekend footy, the weekend guide - lots to cover, lots to chew through before the weekend. While it's gone quick (and having Lu back has made the last couple of days certainly go a bit faster) I still can't wait for the weekend..
Chat tomorrow
