So you think you can cow
Feb. 15th, 2010 12:57 pmWhen did the Winter Olympics become the Olympic Winter Games? I watched half an hour of the opening ceremony the other night and that seemed to crop up every second sentence.
Also, you can tell Australian commentators don't have to talk about winter sports very often. One of them went into a spiel about the inspiration and wonder of the Olympics. You know the sort of thing. He said, 'Memories of all the great athletes we have seen over the years: Torvill and Dean, Alberto Tomba, er, the Jamaican bobsled team, Eddie the Eagle.' There's nothing like thorough research, is there?
I don't have a front lawn any more. The landscapers arrived this morning as I was leaving for work and by the time I came home the lawn had been ripped up. Tomorrow they're going to bring in mounds of dirt to make an undulating effect and then the whole area will be planted with shrubs and stuff. Less mowing! That can only be a good thing.
Today I received an email from the local airline, offering me a chance to win a weekend for two at the Mildura Arts Festival, including tickets to So You Think You Can Cow, an 'udderly hilarious comedy'. Who wants to come with me if I win?
