Anomalies

The whole world has gone topsy-turvey!!!

What on earth are you thinking, earth?!

It's summer and I'm wearing a beanie while its raining. And excuse me while I go cuddle my cat because he's just that gorgeous all wet and 'meow'-y.

I keep forgetting (in my own absent way) that its a new year and to keep up with my new years resolution. And how do you actually keep up with a new years resolution in the first place? Was yours something that can easily be remembered like a habit or is it a one off thing that you have to wait for, and hence actually remember that you vowed to do it in the first place?

Urgh, brain spasm.

Time for me to get out of this house and get a coffee, rain be damned.

p.s. I mentioned to my dad that if I ever had a son that he would be named Ted. It now has the Grandpa Henderson seal of approval.

Chaka Demus

Despite being british, Jamie T seems to hit the summer vibe.


Damnit! Just missed out on beating my dad in the ocean race by 30 seconds... unfortunately my sister has claimed the "head of the Henderson swim team" title.

These, however, shall be miiiiiinnnnnneeeee!!... when I have sufficient monetary funds.

Om nom nom... c'mon summer...

Half Century

I figured I'd save this little number for a special occasion... first day of 2011 good enough?

Let's just say that New Years was a little surprising, and probably will have lasting effects for the next three or so days.

And here's something to help you get over that ridiculous hangover you have..

Truth be told, I kinda already knew this wee fact


Reining in the new year with a slight headache, I need to be in top shape tomorrow for a nice swim.

A 1.4km swim.

In the ocean.

Yummy.

Wish me luck!

Festive Babies

Recovered? or are we still rolling about on the floor in a Christmas lunch daze?

Festive times bring with them festive amounts of eating, and although I ate my weight in cherries, brie and roast lamb, I have successfully decreased my food baby with a jaunt around Lake Daylesford.

Yep, I was a yuppie for a day, nibbling at the boathouse in imitation Ray Bans and my lumper tied nonchalantly around my shoulders.

Back to the original day of bad jokes and backyard cricket, I received a hikers pack from my parentals. YAY! Watch out southern parts of Asia and certain cheap European countries, I'm on my way!!

It's like a christening gift, one of these packs. One you get one, it's like you're a woman of the world in my family. So far all my siblings have gotten theirs, and travelled a lot of the globe in them. Now it's my turn...

So I leave you in your pudding comas with high spirits as I plan (with money I don't have) one of the most exciting and fulfilling/enlightening adventures of a lifetime!

And find me one of these...

Cowboys And Tea

See, here is where I write something witty or ravishingly hillarious..

Sorry, just not hitting me today.



One thing though, that I do love, is the absurd.

And while perusing the vast space that is the Internet (or more specifically YouTube) I came across this.

It's just so bad, it's good. I mean even the title screams "WTF?!"


You may have noticed (if you live where I do) that it's supposed to be summer. But weirdly I'm wearing a beanie and ugg boots. Why do you rob me of my glorious sunshine and sun-baking weather, global warming?!

Despite that, it has allowed me to brew up my own homemade Chai tea recipe. Want it? It's breathtakingly easy to make and surprisingly good.

To every tablespoon of tea leaves, you add:
1 heaped tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of ground ginger
1/2 tsp of ground cloves
cadamon seed.. (depends what you like, remember they're very strong!)

mix it half and half with hot milk and add a teaspoon of honey for sweetness.

Voila!!.. enjoy

p.s. I want those teacups
