Friday fodder

There are some things to ruminate over the weekend:

PEN: E.L.K

PAPER: The making of Fantastic Mr Fox - this book gives me heart palpitations just thinking about how fantastic it looks. Gimme gimme gimme!

PLAY:

We had a boardgames night last night - it was just a few intense rounds of Articulate and Scattergories - which probably isn't nearly as hardcore as 'Tiddly Winks'. I'm not sure what the rules of the game are or the purpose, but the boy on the box looks like he's going in for the kill.

I'm going to two BBQ's this weekend, one for mate who is coming home from the UK for a quick visit so we're amping up the Aussie factor to make them feel at home and the other is to celebrate a mate not being eaten alive by sharks during their debut open water swim. Huzzah!

It's also picnic time for Tropfest 2011

[NYE 1956]

The New Year commmenced in typical Sydney style. A dip at the beach to wash the weary taint of work away, followed by a flurry of fireworks and barbequed snags.

A quick scramble for resolutions somehow evolved into a neat little list of ideas.

Ideas vague enough to convince myself that I haven’t let things fall by the wayside:

1. Smile at strangers

2. Don't use reading a book as an excuse to not accept social invites
