todayiamadaisyThe City by the Sea has a new public sculpture and it looks like this. Not that you can tell from the photo what it looks like. I assume it's the metal thing and not the man. Some sort of butterfly? I suppose I could go and have a look myself.
Yesterday I saw a restaurant advertising for people to book in for their Christmas functions. Really? Perhaps it's a Christmas in July thing (which some people here do to get the whole Christmas-in-winter experience*), but it doesn't specify that. Perhaps it really is for Christmas.
Angela is trying to make me enter a competition to win a Blackberry because 'you need to get with the times, Alicia'. She found a business magazine somewhere, featuring this competion: Which famous figure from history would you hire to work for your company, and why? Answer in twenty-five words. I have declined to enter because I don't want a Blackberry and I can't think of anyone famous I'd want to hire, but Angela has already filled her form in. She would employ Helen Keller. She wouldn't tell me why, in case I copied her idea. What about you? (If it's any good, I might steal your comment and use it as my entry.)
* I disapprove of Christmas in July. The ship has sailed now but I think someone should have nipped it in the bud (if I may mix my metaphors) and made it Christmas in June instead. Specifically, Christmas on 25 June. More symmetrical.
