For Bert

Sometimes things happen that make you think, you know what, I’m bloody lucky and make you never want to whinge again. Last night something happened that made me think just that.

Our fur babies in action!

A few weeks ago a group of us were out for dinner and we started talking about our fur-babies (yes dogs), as we do. We got onto the topic of what would you do or more specifically pay to save your dog if he/she were sick or injured.

I immediately said I couldn’t put a price on Jack, our puppy’s, life, while the other half, ummed and arred for a bit and said actually you know what I’d find it hard not to try anything to save him too.

So. Deep breath. Last night our friend told us the sad news that one of his beloved dogs has cancer. He cried, I cried and even the future husband got a bit upset. The poor little thing is only about 4 years old and you would never guess there was anything wrong with him. He’s full of beans, a social little butterfly and of course always happy to sit and have lots of pats.

Quick, who’s this dishy lady?!

Can you guess who this is?

So you become famous and you get a makeover, that’s how it goes right?!

Check out Julie from MasterChef!! Woohoo! I think she looks fantastic!

From Ninemsn:

MasterChef winner Julie Goodwin has moved away from her dowdy mum image with a glamorous photo shoot.

Woman’s Weekly fashion director Julie Russell told the Herald Sun she helped the 38-year-old mother-of-three to dress for the occasion. “It’s all about being true to your size and not squashing into something,” she said. Goodwin said she was impressed with the effort the magazine staff had gone to with her makeover. “(They) even had a blowing machine sweeping back my hair,” she said.

Puff, sarcasm & the markets. All in a days blogging here!

So as you saw yesterday the Maryville Market development was on Media Watch on Monday night in relation to the developer Con Constantine running articles in a paper that he owns.

Of course he’s going to support his own development, who wouldn’t.

Anyway, that’s not what I’d like to talk about. What I would like to discuss/argue whatever you want to call it, is about Media Watch.

They are a program that criticises the media. Well ABC, now it’s your turn. Myself and other local residents who think the development is a great idea have left comments on your site in relation to a story you did about the Maryville Resident’s Action Group.
