I've just been told by my kids that i look like i have a sausage nose and bean face (we are watching 'big cook little cook)

by the way, i won the bowling. how do you enjoy the fact of winning something without appearing to boast or gloat?

probably says more about my prejudices than anything else but we had our chinese meal delivered by two asian guys this evening. i had to do a double take and almost wanted to say we didn't order an Indian, but thought better of it, i mean i'm not expecting my pizza to be deliverd by a sicilian am i.

i'm off ten pin bowling tonight. now that's a strange concept, knocking down ten skittles (hopefully) only for some machine to stand them up again, and then trying to knock them down again. a bit like weebles really.

have you ever wondered why the wicked witch in the wizard of oz is green (i didn't know this until about the mid eighties, as we only had a black n white telly until then; incidentally when dorothy went from her real world of kansas to her dream world (or was it) of Oz we obviously didn't get the full effect, as our screen went from black n white to....black n white). maybe they wanted to show the full effect of what colour could do in 1939. anyway the reason i mention it is because me and the family have got a touch of the 'two bob bits' we're going through loo roll like nobody's business. the thing with having 3 kids is that there is an increased chance of catching the lurgy. 'what the hell has this got to do with the witch's face in the wizard of Oz,' i hear you ask, well because of the lurgy there has been a green cloud floating above our house like something out of ghostbusters. funny how your mind jumps from one thing to another.

anyway i'm off
