Announcement: Today Is TF’s Second Birthday
I celebrated by buying a new goldfish, Feustus II.
His predecessor Feustus I died in April 2005, as documented in one of my very first posts.

Announcement: The Purple Turtle Is Closing Down On Saturday
Equals no more dollar pot Tuesdays. This is sad. But all things must pass, I suppose. He sighed philosophically, etc.
The chef was giving everyone Turtle stamps last night as a kind of farewell gesture. If you go in before Saturday you might be able to get one too.
By this device, friends of the Purple Turtle may recognise each other in their time of grief. Until the ink fades, at which point there will be no Purple Turtle to be a friend of anymore.
So it goes.
In other news, I started Uni this week. It’s going good so far.
More Announcements pending.
At Last, Death In The Afternoon
You will need:
The largest bottle of La Fee Bohemian Absinth that you can reasonably afford.
A bottle of ‘bubbly’.
A clean vegemite jar.
Step 1: Place a shot of absinthe in the jar.
Step 2: Fill the remainder of the jar with champagne.
Step 3: Drink, without feeling the need to entertain yourself with temperance.
Step 4: I can’t remember what comes after Step 3. Or my own name.
Another success story for the Neue Sachlichkeit therapeutic method.

Kitsune
This pizza is Super Special. The people who sold it to us told us this. It must be true.
We are going to watch Withnail & I now. Yiz can all get comprehensively fucked.
That is all.
Coming soon: Death In The Afternoon.
New Trainers
I forgot to mention a fulfilled ambition:
These were purchased in a non-English speaking country and as such I was unable to apply the Bentendo methodology.
But new trainers are new trainers, in anyone’s language.
In other news: Delta Goodrem is ill again, suggesting we can expect a new album soon. But will the lightning strike twice? Enquiring Mind Control ™ aficionados want to know.

And We’re Away
Being temperamentally unsuited to current climatic conditions in Melbourne, I depart tomorrow for colder climes. Switzerland, to be exact, where I shall remain until the 27th December, at which time I shall fly (unassisted*) to the UK.
Provided that I do not die, that all international flights are not cancelled due to the Terrorist Threat and that the oil supplies hold out, I will return home to Australia on the 13th of January.
Please note that throughout this period I will only be checking the addresses teigan@gmail.com and [mybirthname]@gmail.com.
There will probably be a post or two between now and when I get back (possibly more) – but in any case, l hereby take this opportunity to wish you all a banging festive season.
