Lawn-mower
After much talk of how long the lawn is getting, and after much prodding from Jacinta, I finally went out and bought myself a lawn-mower. It's low-maintance, self-cleaning, mulches as well as mows, and instead of producing grass clippings turns them into a high-grade plant fertilizer. It can be operated with minimal supervision, has big ears, and a cute fluffy tail. We got one in the stylish colour of black, and I've affectionately called it rabbit. Except for one small incident where its bladder control on the doona left something to be desired, we've been very happy.

Rabbit's favourite food is grass, favourite game is go-to-sleep-behind-the-cannas (where it's almost impossible to retrieve), and has made it quite clear to us that shredded newspaper is for its litter tray, and most certainly not a bedding material. Rabbit likes to chew on bits of pruned plum-tree.

I'm trusting Rabbit not to try and take a bite out of my network connection as I lie under my plum tree and work.

Ex-work
It would appear that JS, CEO of my previous workplace, has resigned. Interesting news.

Poker
Jacinta and I ran a poker night last week which was quite successful, and we're doing a similar thing tonight. Currently our friends are still a little hesitant to be playing for money, but I'm sure that we'll be able to overcome most of them soon.
