Bit of Everything

Well folks, a mixedbag for me today. Firstly, "A" had her schools swimming carnival on at one of our local swimming pools here in town. Remember when you were at school and you had your "house" (team) you belonged to. Well, there are only 3 at this school as it only plays host to 250 kids. "A" is in the "Falcons"....or as my ears can vouch for the war cry of...."the mighty mighty mighty mighty mighty mighty falcons"!! Her friends are all in the other "houses"...."Rattlesnakes" and "Fantomes"......named after the islands here on the Coral Sea. Trust me, there is no love lost between "A" and her little friends...its war in the pool!! Fortunately for "A", her house usually win everything....athletics....sports....swimming. Today however was not to be.....they came last! Although "A" did win one of her novelty races, even after losing a team member!! A wonderful deafening day was had by teachers...parents and of course the kids.

I had a really bad dream last night. I think i have had this dream before. If anyone out there can analyse dreams....help me out huh. It was about having snakes in my bedroom. HUGE snakes....like anacondas. In my wardrobes....chest of drawers.....ick...it was awful.

Leonardo da vinci invented scissors
Reindeer love to eat bananas
Lemons contain more sugar than strawberries
35% of people who use personal ads for dating are married!
More people are killed by donkeys than car crashes
Now, where do you think i got this weird and wonderful info from???
The little plastic strip that you pull off the back of your panty liner that sticks to your knickers..opps aussie slang here......ummm panties.
Isn't that hilarious......wtf? I could not believe it...lol like womens personal products are like a Fantail candy!!

Did i hear right? Donald Trump is bailing out wacko jacko and funding a wacko jacko concert in Vegas??.......LOL...i reckon i dreamt this one.

So here we are on the eve of Good Friday. Australia's roads and highways are packed with holiday makers. Ahhh yes, the lucky land down under, where we declare public holidays for the opening of the local Mc Donalds store!! It's true. No other country in the world has as many public holidays as us. Easter, sees us getting 4 days off work..fri,sat,sun and mon. However, depending on your job, many even take tues..weds etc etc and go back to work the 4th of April!! "A" is on school hols till the 5th of April, as is most of the kids in Oz.
It's the same at xmas time. If xmas day falls on a thursday, we get friday which is boxing day, sat and sunday off work!
Just to make you all weep even more, majority of us get 4 weeks annual leave every year...some even longer. We get 12 weeks extra if we've worked for the same company for 15 years! All paid of course. Dependant on the State you live in, you also get the odd public holiday throughout the year.....here in Queensland i get..Labor Day...Show Day...Queens Birthday....Anzac Day....Australia Day....New Years Day.
Did i mention that most of us get 8 sick days leave a year....some more...some can even acrew their days!
You know, i wonder sometimes how get anything done..LOL..no ones ever there!!

Enjoy your time off woman. Hey, about that dream... I should tell you this privately but since you blurted about where we ladies get our silly facts, I'm telling you right here right now, in front of all these eyes, what I read about women who dream of snakes...sex. That's right, the snake supposedly represents the male's um... well... his, er.. um... okay never mind, I have to go. LOL!

Someone might want to verify this, but I've heard that Italy has 52 holiday days a year.
And they have great beaches and wine.
But big spiders (shudder)
