Miscellania, and more Rules

No posts for a while, so I'd better update.

Dad is still in Oz, but he's currently in Perth visiting a mate on the west side. My sister Amy and her hubbie James are in Canada, very kindly scouting out locations in Vancouver and Banff for our visit over Christmas. Mum's been arting it up in Edinburgh.

As for me and M, lots of DVDs (Kiss Me Kate, Along Came Polly), new albums (Nick Cave, Beta Band etc) and the odd bush walk.

Bizarrely, M's latest uni assignment involves walking 10,000 steps per day, so she's wearing a pedometer and strolling around the mean streets of Castle Hill of an evening. We had a storm on Sunday, and she ended up walking round in circles in the living room to make it up. So conscientious.

New Rules of Engagement! (See blogs passim)
- "What sort of message does this send out?" - Strike one
- "It's a sad indictment of our society" - Strike two
- (Local rules only) Any use of the neologism unAustralian - And you're out!
