Sidebar everywhere?
Currently the left-hand “sidebar” column only appears on “index” pages, not on the individual article pages. Should it appear everywhere?
“Deliberately Barren” t-shirts
“Deliberately Barren” t-shirts are now available. Thanks for the inspiration, Senator Heffernan!
Market Row for my birthday!
I was very pleased to receive a framed print of this image from ’Pong for my birthday yesterday. There was also a lengthy dinner at Fifi’s Lebanese restaurant and then The Duke Hotel — and that’s why there’s very little to say today.
Daft ad campaign is on the sauce
This is a pretty stupid campaign, if you ask me. “Momma’s sauce” is usually thought of as being rich and flavourful, made with love. “Just like mama used to make.” Plus I don’t recall Australians ever spelling it “momma”, and neither does the Macquarie Dictionary.
So apart from telling your customers that your factory-made canned stuff isn’t made with care, you’re also telling them it’s shipped in from New Zealand — hardly the home of Italian culinary skills.
Or are they trying to turn canned spaghetti into an international symbol of youth rebellion?
After the hunt
I decided not to publish a high-resolution version of this photograph. This morning one of our cats, Artemis, proudly brought us a Noisy Miner chick which she’d just hunted. After she’d played with it a while I decided to grab my phone to photograph her victory. But by the time I’d done that, this is all that remained.
Good heavens, I’m blogging about the pets!
I think I’d better migrate to Cincinnati immediately.
That said, it’s interesting that she left the claws. I don’t like eating chicken’s feet either.
