*Waves feebly*

I am behind in 99.9 per cent of things, thanks to a mix of insane work and recuperating, so most things I will get to later. But this cannot wait! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY pingrid !!!

Thanks for all your friendship, for rugging me up like a stumpy Russian in the blizzard, for singing folksongs in the Mediterranean, and for always being there to discuss textiles, ridiculousness and hot men!

And you don't look a day over 28!

AHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm watching the ABC (government channel) to try and find my brain again, and Q&A is on. It's a show in which political and public figures come onto a moderated panel and answer questions put to them by the audience, by emails and from Twitter.

In response to one of the questions, one of the panel members has just said, 'Look, we've elected a parliament that is essentially hung!'

To which host Tony Jones replied: 'You want it to be well hung.'

I love the tenor of political debate here sometimes.
