Trixie and the Giant Peach

[todayiamadaisy]

I had to read an article on air today about a woman in Hamilton whose fruit tree grew a 5.8 kilogram peach. That's over 12lb for non-metric readers who want to share the general amazement. It was enormous, and apparently quite tasty. So there you go.

Exciting as that was, it still didn't top my favourite ever Hamilton news story, summed up in the headline: Woman still hasn't given birth. Hamilton's not a big place.

In case anyone's been on tenterhooks wondering how my mother's birthday went: she didn't even notice the pig-patterned paper. Phew!
