Goldfish

Despite the ominous Sunday sky, we packed our cooler and headed off to watch Goldfish at the Botanical Gardens.

The opening band, The Kiffness, left us feeling a little, well, not-Kiff, but Goldfish were great!

And they were even better once the skies cracked open and forced people to lose their inhibitions, as one does when the mascara has already dripped down your face and your tshirt has become one with your skin.

They really are a 'no matter the weather' band. Or at least their Durban fans are!

Movember

How's your Movember going?
Did you make your donation to the Movember charity?
Or has the itchiness taken over and forced your to fold?

#32 - #34

I was just sitting here, thinking about how much I would like some new Jae Lake Rules For Life, when poof... a few more appeared!

Rule for Life #32: washing and soaking stockings after they have been covered in red wine by a mole who couldn't handle her liquor on a Saturday night is futile. 

Rule for Life #33: never put stockings on in the dark first thing in the morning, particularly if you have a big day of meetings with senior managers.  

Rule for Life #34: Rule for Life #32 and #33 should be considered in parallel.

Well, there you go, now you know!

Watcha Reading?

This is what I'm reading...


Actually: This is what I intend to be reading if I can stay awake past 6pm today. 4am wake ups are NOT for me.

Hey Durban... How you doin’?

Popping over to Durban for the weekend.

Hope you're ready Durban!

Back Down

There I was this morning, moaning about 'What To Wear,' when this was being watched, just a blog away.

It's a little icky if you're sensitive, but if you need a bump back down to earth... here you go.

And the worst part? Apart from doing your Little Bit, and telling some friends, there isn't much you can do unless you have global persuasion powers or enough courage to quit your job and go work for nothing but albatross love.

Midway is a film by Chris Jordan

"that will lead viewers on a rich visual journey through the many layers of Midway Island’s stunning paradox. There, in the poetic beauty of the mythical Albatross, is a shocking human-caused environmental tragedy that we are challenged to witness head on. Filmed in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, MIDWAY will walk the viewer into beauty, grief, horror, and joy, intertwined and dancing, as a potent metaphor for our times. The film is currently in production, and the planned release date is fall of 2012."
