Killing Two Birds With One Stone
Want a tummy tuck?
And a hot meal?
Today Tonight ran a story last night about people undergoing microwave treatment to burn fat. It still costs about $3-6000 but didn't involve invasive surgery, excessive time off work or the risk of infection. Apparently the fat in your body is heated to 65 degrees celsuis and then burns away. The machine has been approved by the FDA in the US and is awaiting approval on our shores.
On several ocassions Today Tonight has warned us about microwaves that leak radiation and how we should be worried about them. You should get the seals checked on your microwave to make sure that you were safe.
Why not combine the two and kill two birds with one stone? If you have a bit of a pot guts then duly stand in front of your leaky microwave whilst heating your tv dinner. Diminish the guts just before you build on it again.
Now, which microwaves are the best models for a bit of a tummy tuck on the side?

For Those Of You Wondering Where Hell Is
It's a small town just outside of Trondheim in Norway. It's not even mentioned in my The Times Concise Atlas of the World, Eighth Edition.

What European City Do I Belong In?
I saw this on Lavinia's site.
| You Belong in Paris |
 You enjoy all that life has to offer, and you can appreciate the fine tastes and sites of Paris. You're the perfect person to wander the streets of Paris aimlessly, enjoying architecture and a crepe. |

Not A Bad Game Of Golf To Report
Finally, I didn't play a bad game of golf on the weekend. Well, I didn't play any golf on the weekend. My Sunday morning was spent painting the dining and living rooms along with the passageway. It's come up ok. Still might need another coat though and that can wait until next weekend. There was some footy and the Formula 1 Grand Prix on the telly to keep me entertained.
Miky spent the morning with Yu-Jin helping with his reading and doing things together. Yu-Jin and I had a game of Yahtzee and I scored two Yahtzees in the same game!
Yahtzee
Later in the arvo Yu-Jin had a sixth birthday party to go to and following that we had to meet at the ferry terminal as Keiko and Kiyoko were arriving back from Rottnest Island. Went to Siena's in Leederville for tea. And we ordered too much food. Nice stuff though.
On the way home I took them through Kings Park to see the lights and to do the treetop walk. Pity that the walk had closed three hours before. Still interesting to walk through the park during the dark. Not something the ladies would have done on their own.
Yu-Jin was asleep by the time we got home. Typical.
Keiko and Kiyoko are taking a tour to the Pinnacles today and I'll go to work a bit earlier than normal to drop them off in the city. No point in making them take a train and walk from the station to the meeting place.
Golf is on the agenda for next weekend.

We've Got Visitors
Gee, I'm glad that visitors don't come that often. The cleaning that has to take place beforehand is murder. Who needs to live in a house that's that clean? Went out to the airport just after midnight, would you believe it was raining, to pick up our friends Keiko and Kiyoko from Fukuoka. I sat there for 10 mins, about 40 mins after their plane landed. Immigration, luggage and Customs take ages when entering this country.
I was reading my mail and checking for their appearance every so often. As I scanned the crowd, quite large for that time of the morning, I saw Kiyoko. They had entered the arrival lounge about 10 mins before and were looking for me. People look so different at the airport and it was difficult to recognise her. Keiko had gone to phone us but, here's the funny part, even though she visited us about a year ago she only had our phone number from about three and a half years ago. And she didn't have our address. She told the person at Immigration our postal address and that was enough to get them into the country. Not a lot of room in the post box as I only have a small one.
I commented to Keiko on the way home that she had brought the rain with her and she said that every excursion for school, and even her graduation, it rained. Even the headmaster commented during the graduation ceremony that this was an unfortunate bunch of students when it came to the weather. How funny.
Home just after 1am and up at 6:30 for breakfast as they wanted to catch the early ferry to Rottnest. I had booked the only room available at the Rottnest Lodge for them the day before. Change of plans as it had been raining and they would rather see Perth and go to Rotto later in the day. No probs. Dropped them off at the train station after brekkie.
Yu-Jin and I went to Bunnings to get some of those long green hoses with holes in them, I believe they are called sprinklers, to set up in particular parts of the garden that take a long time to water. I then proceeded to paint the dining room walls and Yu-Jin gave me a hand. We went to taekwondo after lunch.
Miky came home from the gym and shopping and then headed out the front to plant a large row of lavender. I had to cart a few barrow loads of wood chips to act as mulch and it looks alright.
Miky also came to the decision that our old 3-seater sofa that had been taking up room in the sewing room had to go. Anybody want to buy a blue sofa that is in pretty good nick? If it doesn't sell within a couple of weeks it'll probably go to the Salvos. It's sitting in the shed now.
Miky commented that the last time somebody from Japan came to stay with us I did some painting too. Large coincidence, methinks. I don't make a habit of such things.

Have I Discovered Perth’s Most Inconsiderate Driver?
I reckon I might have. Going home from work on Friday night I had one guy in his new Mini Cooper, copper colour, cut in just before the traffic lights on Loftus Street. I hate this as he should wait in line like the rest of us. What made it worse was that he was the last car to get through the lights and I had to wait about another 2 ½ minutes.
He then shot straight across the road to the petrol station, went past the “Do Not Enter” sign without a second thought, got what he wanted from the servo, jumped on his mobile phone, didn’t put his seatbelt on, and took off just in front of me as I finally got my turn with the traffic light.
This guy didn’t bother to use his blinker too much, weaved in and out of the traffic and was traveling close to twice the speed limit – while still on his mobile. He changed lanes in the middle of an intersection with traffic lights and when he did indicate to change lanes it was over a solid white line. His number plate started with 1BXC and ended with, no, I shouldn’t say. Let’s just say that the last three parts of his seven digit alphanumeric plate is 752. That shouldn’t give it away. Idiot has no right to be on the road.
