because we have typhoons

a typhoon has hit Shoalwater, namely in our living room.
After tiring of heading for the record of least amount of cooling devices in a suburban dwelling, we have finally installed ceiling fans.
Not just any old fans of the Bunnings type; you see my Lindsay likes to wait to afford to buy the best.

We have TYPHOONS !!!

We carefully chose the biggest, strongest, most 'air flow-ness' possible.
Their size, shape and aesthetic value bore no relevance by comparison and the fact that we now have that trendy industrial look in our untrendy house is to be dealt with when the novelty wears off.
  As the temperature rises and we "hit the switch" the typhoons whip their magic across our sweltering bodies. AAAHHHH
This magic extends to drowning out the T.V. and any idea of conversation is rudely interrupted!
Q. What's black and white and read all over the lounge room?
A. Our newspaper - left on the coffee table when the typhoon hit!

Well, OK,  there are some drawbacks -  never fear - because there is one thing I DO know and that is  how important it is to be 'COOL' !!

Peace out man.
I'm off to batten down.

I'm a blogger.

Well, here it is at last. Being bored from a lack of paid, useful work has led me to believe blogging might be a good pastime.
After navigating my way around the set up I am finally doing it.

Now, what to impart to blogland.

Mmmm, FISH OIL !!

It's supposedly good for the joints, and as mine are needing some soothing and oiling, I believed every word of the advert. and went to get my stash.
Upon revealing to the family chemist I needed the liquid form as 'the radio' listed it as the most effective, he agreed and proceeded to push the massive litre bottle as the best purchase at $38.00.

Now that is 100 days @10mls a day, yippee - my joints will love me.


The pain and suffering my joints cause continues as I gag and retch each day to soothe them.
The constant piscatorial taste was not to be an issue according to 'Mr. Friendly' chemist.
 The flavour, he says, is lemon and lime, ha ha - yeah right. That would be the lemon and lime you squeeze on your fish - hellooooo, it still tastes like fish!

In ninety three days there will be a review and in the meantime Mr Friendly won't be reeling me in again!
