todayiamadaisyThe world news is all so bad lately... earthquakes and hurricanes and war and terrorism and every single thing the Australian government is doing, which is just too depressing to write about. And then you read the sports pages and discover the existence of a Puerto Rican boxer called Kermit Citron, and the world suddenly seems just a little bit brighter.

I am currently on leave. Whoo! I have exams this week and next. Slightly less whoo! Actually, I don't really mind exams, as long as I'm well prepared (which I am), so I'm quite enjoying my little holiday. I had even cleverly organised my roster at the radio so I wasn't on this week, but I'll be going in tomorrow anyway. Our third newsreader, Ashika, is moving and tomorrow will be her last day, so Liz and I have planned a little party (being the three of us, plus our producer and maybe the volunteer coordinator) for her after the show.

My can opener gave up the ghost yesterday, so I bought a new one today. It came with instructions.
supercan opener (but what if I don't have any supercans to open?)
the safest way to open cans
Caution: Avoid contact with rim of can. Not recommended for dishwashers.
Thanks for that supercan people!

the safest way to open cans
- Place can on flat surface. Open handles and position on edge of can. Secure by closing handles.
- Making sure can opener has gripped can and is horizontal, turn knob to open.
- With handles closed, lift detached lid away ready for disposal.
- To remove lid, open handles and direct lid into waste bin.
Caution: Avoid contact with rim of can. Not recommended for dishwashers.
