So there’s, like, no-one online. Is there some event on or something? I mean really, where on earth could everyone be? Crazy!
My NYE has been enjoyably non-eventful But don’t worry, I’ll tell you all about it in lots of words!
A couple of days ago I came across this photo of a “sausage platter” at [...]

It just doesn’t make sense
I like how “toilet” is really big
I realise that this picture is too big for the width of my blog column but, well, I’m ok with that
Kitchen gadgets
Some gadgets that I think are excellent
1. Toaster
2. Stab blender (aka stick blender) – turns a saucepan full of hot vegetables and water into soup with considerably less mess than transferring to a blender (erm particularly if one was unable to find the blender lid and was convinced by a friend that a plate held [...]
Technology vs medicine
So Australia has relatively recently cranked up digital tv. This is not an unwelcome move – more channels, better reception of existing channels. Then there is all the fun stuff with twin-tuners and integrated hard drive recorders. Not complaining about any of that.
But Australian haematologists will find life more difficult.
When I was in first [...]

One of the Yay Family traditional Christmas pigs. There are two in circulation, however my uncle is the guardian of the other. My mother broke the leg of this one so it was allocated to her. I replaced the broken leg with a red pencil. The pigs were bought in a NSW country town between [...]
Ways to make the mother explode #1
Breaking the main toilet of the house on Christmas Eve has potential to cause fireworks, particularly when various members of the extended family will be descending upon us in less than 24 hours.
The brother was responsible for the flush that broke the camel’s back, and it was a scene somewhat like the one pictured [...]
Mail bag
Despite Australia Post strikes this week, I received three items in the mail today.
1. A letter addressed to Dr Yay from the Medical Board telling me that I’m registered to be an intern.
2. A letter from the university saying that I passed all my subjects for fourth year and some words to indicate that I [...]
There must be some mistake…
This picture has nothing to do with the content of this post, but I just made it for my dinner and it’s rather delicious.
So my roster for work arrived today. Doctor work… y’know, with a stethoscope and all that. I start in 3 weeks.
And it’s pretty sweet I must say. I knew it would be [...]
Time to extend…
I ran out of chicken wire, but this is a start…
I think the architectural style is similar to that of this weirdo house I came across in Vietnam:
We were initially going to stay there, but got totally weirded out during our day visit there. I can’t remember what it was called, but man that [...]
Progress notes
I took Pooka to visit the grandmother this morning. I’m pleased to announce that she has been promoted to “going inside” privileges. My grandmother has never been a dog person and was quite wary of Pooka initially. Which was kind of fair enough because Pooka was a bit mad (in the crazy sense) when I [...]
