Lu's back, the egg Rollie returns and the question is raised, how quickly can I scarf down a scone?
THE FIVE DOLLAR ROLLIE
I introduced Lu to the horrendously awful Egg Rollie today and if you haven't come across one of these horrible ideas from the get go, allow me to elaborate. It's an egg cooker that cooks eggs in a sausage shaped tube and when it's done, the egg seems to levitate out of the machine.
For the love of all things holy, I wish I was making this up. But lo and behold:

| Who doesn't want an egg on a stick?? |
I remember seeing the adds for this years ago and instantly wondering 'What the flying fork cake is going on here? Who thought this was a good idea?' and just as quickly as it turned up to turn your eggs into something phallic looking, it disappeared. I mean you can still find them on sale for about five bucks via Facebook Classifieds in 2022 but unless you have a burning desire in really useless kitchen gadgets, I'd probably steer clear.
HEADING TO THE HENTY FIELD DAYS
Which according to the jingle in the radio 'There's a lot of good people there.' Well you can add two more to that illustrious list on account of Lu and myself being invited along to be part of the Golden Gumboot media challenge on day one of this huge event.
It's going to be a battle of the local breakfast teams in a series of events on Sept 20 to try and take home the glorious trophy that is the Golden Gumboot. Lu reckons she'll go pretty good in the whip cracking event where the lawn mower pull seems right up my alley given my love of both driving and mowing. I better stretch well for the wool throw though and make plenty of room for the last event - apparently the scone eating challenge is quite the mouthful...
How could anything go wrong here? Heh.
IN 24 HOURS I SOLD A BOOK AND A SOCCER PLAYER!
After five years of side project writing, I finally signed up to distributor Smashwords yesterday and less than 24 hours later, the alerted me to my first sale of the latest book Last Thief Standing. Which for an occasional author like myself, is still a terrific buzz. I know there's self publishers out there selling 10 copies of their work a day (or more) but for someone like me still getting the hang of production and promotion (and selling about 3 copies a month) I truly cherish each and every sale. So if that was you that bought it, thank you legend.
And if you want to be the next person to buy a copy through Smashwords, then you're an amazing legend too and I hope this book increases both your good luck and sexual magnetism. It probably won't, but hey here's hoping anyway.
Meanwhile in my foray to understand NFT's (I still don't) and trying to coach a soccer team to great success (mixed results) I recently sold a player for a lot more than I bought him for and then used the proceeds to buy a whole heap more.
Yes I sold one of my Crispy Golden Schnitzel (my team name) players to buy....12 more.
