I thought today I’d give you some highlights from our day:

• This afternoon we bought a Dyson Animal handheld vacuum, because I was tired of dragging out the big vacuum to clean under the dining table after dinner each night. OK, I lie. I let it pile up and then vacuum it on Saturdays. If the doorbell rings on a Friday, I just refuse to let them in. Now, at least, you’ll be able to visit me any day you wish!
• During our shopping expedition, we also purchased a new Philips iron. Well, Julian purchased a new Philips iron. I told him there was no point in me choosing it. I don’t use it enough! He posted something to that affect on Facebook and a host of men put their hands up to being “chief iron man” in their household too.
• We went out for dinner at our favourite restaurant tonight and on the specials menu was braised camel scotch. I’m not really sure where in Tasmania you get camels (and whose responsible for feeding them scotch!), but I can tell you, I definitely wasn’t about to try it. I assume – like seagulls, snake and pigeon – it tastes like chicken? Julian went the beef scotch fillet instead. Wise choice.

What about you? Have you tried camel? Or something even more… interesting?

For all you AFL lovers, here’s something we saw on a fence at Turners Beach here in Tassie today that’s sure to give you a giggle. Unless you’re an Essendon supporter.

Go the Blues!

OK, let’s get into some much less controversial competitions.

What a whirlwind week we’ve had. Here are some of our wins:

• We arrived home from Sydney, after having one of the best holidays we’ve had in a while. It was so incredibly relaxing – apart from the constant high-pitched squeals from The Bloke in The Shed. He’s decided we are NEVER moving to Sydney. He couldn’t cope with all the spiders.

• While doing some ABC Reading Eggs together on the iPad, Julian tried to explain to Ella about Steve Jobs, the man who created all the “i’’ products. Ella replied with: “Yes, Dad. I know him.” Julian looked puzzled. “He’s on the front of Mum’s book’’. Of course she knows him!

• Julian and Ella were up against Robyn Moore, the voice of Blinky Bill, in a celebrity ferret race today as part of Australia Day festivities. Well, the ferrets raced. Not Julian and Robyn. Robyn was disappointed with the lack of motivation from her ferret and broke into her Julia Gillard impersonation from ABC Radio comedy show How Green Was My Cactus to give it a pep talk. Meanwhile, 10 minutes earlier the race had been won by Julian and Ella’s ferret. This was their secret weapon (the rabbit. Not Ella looking distinctly like Heath Ledger playing The Joker):

The Christmas present I wasn’t convinced we needed has come back to bite The Bloke in the Shed on the bum.

Ella: “Dad, can you come to the toilet with me and hold the iPod while I wee?’’

Julian: “Um… no’’.

OK, it must be my turn now with the iPod, lying by the pool entering the competitions below. Sound fair?

We’re still on holidays, but here’s a little laugh for your Sunday:

Ella (5) to Holly (2): “Do you want to do a knock knock joke, Holly?’’
Holly: “Yes, Ella’’
Ella: “Well, say it.’’
Holly: silence
Ella: “Say, `knock knock’.’’
Holly: “Knock knock, who’s there?’’
Ella: “No Holly, just knock knock.’’
Holly: “Who’s there?’’
Ella: “No, I say `who’s there?’. You just say `knock knock’. Say it again.’’
Holly: “Knock knock, who’s there?’’
Ella: “Muuuuuummmmm’’

Sorry Ella, but you just can’t do knock knock jokes with two year olds, especially when they’re meant to be the ones telling the jokes.

Sound familiar?

Now onto something far less frustrating… entering some giveaways!
