todayiamadaisyI've just done the giant crossword in yesterday's paper's summer holiday supplement. Only one word to go: Field of knowledge, R _ _ LO. Any ideas?
Apart from that, I've been reading customer reviews on Amazon. I always like the one star reviews. One said, 'I bought this book for a trip to Canada and I left it there,' which made me laugh. What has poor Canada done to deserve that?
I'm not one for New Year's Eve stuff, but I am looking forward to something: the title character of the comic strip Luann is going to an Australian-themed New Year's Eve party at her Australian friend's house. I can't wait. If it's as true-to-life as the traditional Australian Thanksgiving party he hosted last year, it will be, well, mildly amusing. I am looking forward to a week of strips in which her friend explains the national tragedy that has befallen us in the cricket.
(It is hard to know which I find worse: when the Australian team wins the Ashes and the papers are all about our cricketing heroes and how marvellous they are, hip hip hooray, or when we lose and it's all wailing and weeping and gnashing of teeth. Neither is appealing.)
