Gorillas and nuts
We went to the Kong opening at TheNewDowse on Friday, with the divine Ms Tyler. There were several highlights, the first being a sticky label stuck to my foot that belonged to Mirek Smisek, the rather marvellous potter. I brought the sticker home to show my dad (who was babysitting), and when I pulled it out he rolled his eyes, but those very same rolling eyes lit up when he saw the name, for he is a geek like me.
Richard Tayler was a magnificent, inspiring, tall highlight. He spoke a bit about the process of creating Kong, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Which is a complete exaggeration, but it sets the mood.
AND we got photographed for the society pages for two papers. My goal last year was to get into them, and I failed miserably. We weren't in the paper today, so there is one more chance I'll make it - go the Capital Times!
This morning I received a big stash of macadamias from Mr SunnyO, who grew them himself, such talent. They're fricking hard little bastards, but dead tasty. I think they might be one of those negative calorie foods, like celery, because they're such a lot of work to open. Please don't spoil my delusion.

What's so hard to open about celery?
If I started writing grammatically, where would the fun be?
I think he is Richard Taylor, maybe that is a typoo though...
BTW - nuts, like avocados, are classified as fat. However, they're good fat, unsaturated, omega 3 & all that (NB: I didn't check this so it could all be bullshit).
Beside, scandinavians (so I may have read once. Possibly) eat a lot of nuts & they're all slim & good looking.
And madadamias are Australian, and have you ever seen a fat aborigine?
Although peanuts are carbos, not nuts at all.
legumes?
You're in this week's Cap Times, by the way.
ZOKAPF!
Ooooh, goody, thanks for heads up.
