Scripwriters Faux Pas

Go has started showing the "Bewitched" series from
the beginning and last night's epiosode (about third
or fourth)dealt with the idea that Sam came up with
suggestions for one of Darren's campaigns, he
instantly thought because they sounded good to him,
they were the result of magic. He implies that Sam
is lying when she denies that she used magic, as a
result she packs her bags and goes home to mother.

Towards the end of the series, when Adam is about
three years old they have the exact same story line
except this time she makes him sleep on the couch.
I can't believe that the writers were that hard up
that they had to recycle stories! but it is worse
to think that they could not remember even writing
the story in the first place.

Interesting to note that the first two episodes
had a narrator whom I believe was Jose Ferrier.

Fly Away Home

The Ritz

Meg decided that the top pub was not "good enough'
to take Uncle Bill out for his birthday. So she
said "Let's go to The Ritz, in Traralgon," which
really is only a cafe with pretensions of grandeur.

I ordered a half nip of vodka and was charged $6.50,
which is the price anywhere else for a full nip! So
either they got it wrong or they overcharge! Either
way it is a mistake.

I must admit the duck was cooked well and tasted
wonderful and was not too dear at $26.95, as I know
The Italian Club would charge at least another $10!
It cost about the same as The Traralgon R.S.L.
would charge.

There was a twenty first birthday party at the next
table and I suggested we sing "Happy Birthday" to
Uncle Bill but he didn't want that, though he claims
it has been the best Birthday ever as it lasted two
weeks! but then you don't turn 70 every day of the
week.

Lisa finally turned up in time for dessert, as she
had gone to Melbourne to play tennis for the Saturday
and it ran late. So she was not in any of the photos,
which of course nobody thought about till now!

Lots of photos with me, Cliff, the kids, and Uncle Bill.

A good night was had by all. Especially as Meg and
Donald went on to a club till the early hours of the
morning which in a way annoyed me as Donald cried
poor and asked me to pay his $206 rates for him this
week as he did not have the money yet was able to
spend $180 on alcohol!!!!

Uncle Bill Arrives.

Uncle Bill arrrived last Friday, 19th November, at
lunch time. Hewent and picked up Meg from work and
we all had lunch together at Claudia's.

After Meg went back to work, he and i dropped in to
say a quick Hi to cliff and then it wa off to see
Sarah.

Angela had come to visit Sarah after the lunch hour
she had worked at The Australian Italian Club.

So we all had a coffee and chatted so that Uncle Bill
could catch up on what was happening with them.

Only two days previous Sarah had asked Paul to leave.

She does not know how permanant that will be. A bit
hard seeing that she is living in his mother's house
for very little rent. He was telling all their friend
that he no longer cared for her because she put on
too much weight after the baby was born. Which only
goes to show how immature and shallow he is. As I
said to Sarah, yes looks attract us to a person but
then after dating them we come to like/love them for
who they are on the inside and that does not change
just because of a few kilos.

From there he went to check into the motel in Traralgon
and I went home to do some work, no sleep for the wicked.

"Too Many Murders"

"Second Time Lucky" by Sophie King.

Jane Bidder is this author's real name. So no
relation to Stephen King, in fact this author
is British but the book does not suffer because
of this.

This is a light hearted entertaining read, with a
few laughs at no extra cost.

A woman's real version of "My Best Friend's
Wedding."

I read this in one sitting over the weekend.

Meg Is Home Sick

Meg couldn't sleep Wednesday night as she was
coughing so much. so she went to the doctor
and he took a swab and the results will be
back Monday, but he thinks she has Whooping
Cough. She went to work and the big boss sent
her home as there is a pregnant girl and he
didn't want to risk being sued!

Thankfully the washing machine had come back
Thursady morning so Meg caught up with her
washing on thursday afternoon.

She watched some of her programs that I had
recorded over the weeks for her on Friday but
by friday evening was 'sick' of being cooped
up!

Cassie had rung Meg on Friday morning and Meg
had told her she was 'ill', but Cassie didn't
mind and invited her over to spend a girls
night in with her, catching up on the gossip.

She rested Saturday and on Sunday went and cut
the grass on her block. I said that while she
was cutting grass she could do the front nature
strip of this house and the front lawn but of
cause it did not get done.

She went to see the Doctor after lunch on Monday
and the results showed she DID NOT have Whooping
Cought but just a throat infection, so she went
immediately back to work.

I think I would have waited till Tuesday as the
Doctor had given her the whole of Monday off.
I think she was just so bored, which is sad that
an active woman of 33 can't amuse herself for
a few days.
