Jan. 24th, 2012 10:14 pmIn case you've been on tenterhooks about Ted the dog that was adopted by a new family while his old one was on holiday: he's been returned to his original family.
Yesterday was a good day. I saw a crab on the beach, which was exciting. I thought that the day couldn't get any better than that, but then I got to work and learnt that the person who made the whole merger business so awful has resigned, effective immediately. Huzzah.
I have a long term goal of being made Australian of the Year simply for being a model citizen who doesn't bother anyone. This plan has been unsuccessful so far. I mean, this year's AotY won't be announced until Thursday, but I think it's safe to say they'd have let me know by now. So I have been passed over yet again. Sigh.
But! It appears that someone is giving a new award. Well, I don't know if it's new. I've never heard of it before, at any rate. There was a news item the other day that took me by surprise: Barry Humphries has been awarded Australian of the Year in the UK today. At first I took that to mean that the AotY award was announced, several days early, in the UK, which struck me as being odd. It was only after thinking about for a minute that I realised that Mr Humphries had been awarded Australian (resident in the UK) of the Year. I don't see the purpose of this award, I must say, but best of luck to him.
Anyway, I am thinking perhaps I should go to a country where there are relatively few Australians and be a model citizen over there. Australian of the Year in Chad, maybe. I will romp it in.
