No other major news at the moment. I'm off for a swim soon, it's a scorcher today!
I've found a remedy to the Jac doesn't like drinking water but it's hot and she has to problem. It has also fixed my coke (cola) habit. Soda water. In a can! Simple, yet brilliant. It's cold, sugar free and it satisfied the need for fizz. Why did I not think of this earlier? I've been drinking the coke C2 rubbish...not sure if it's in Oz yet but it's 50:50 coke/diet coke and has the worst features of each of them (sugar AND the nasty artificial sweetener taste). And did I warn y'all to stay clear of the Coke Blak (blerk). Who mixes fizzy coke and weak coffee? It's all kinds of nasty! Pepsi trialed the same sort of thing in the mid 90's with Pepsi Kona, a screaming flop. As someone in a forum somewhere said (of coke blak) "what soft drink can survive when half its name is made up of the sound you make as you spit it out".
And finally, this little gem. Thanks Booey for the heads up on the amazing sunrise this morning. I hope some of you saw it! This is the tail end of it, I missed the rest.

Sunset there is like 3am here, so I'm no more likely to see that that I was to see the sun rise when I lived in Hobart! That's why I'm enjoying the sunrises now, and also because it means my work day is nearly done :)
Hey Jac!
Did you know that Coke was originally green? I just read that in my nifty TotalGirl diary :P Maybe they think Coke Blak is still an improvment on their first attempt?!
We've been up for nearly every sunrise this week, they've been truly lovely. Such vivid red and gold. Next week we'll be able to enjoy the mornings in the later hours - the sale finishes tomorrow, hurray!
That wisp of cloud on the Wellington slopes isn't fog rolling in from the upper reaches of the Derwent; it's just evidence that Bogans have set fire to Bridgewater again...
