Dear TV Companies

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011

Dear TV companies (yes I’m talking to you TVNZ, TV3, Sky etc.)

Can you please stop playing your advertisements so much louder than the shows they’re interrupting?

I normally don’t mind ads, but there are those that are so loud they make my baby sitr and me change channels straight away. Or I mute them. And I’m not the only one either.

If your ads weren’t so annoyingly loud, you wouldn’t lose your audience and the ads would be much more effective.

Thanks for listening – or should that be “THANKS FOR LISTENING!!”.

Stuff I Luff

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Abby settling herself to sleep. No more carrying her around to get her to sleep!
Having eight hours of uninterrupted sleep again.
Smoked fish. Particularly good in a green salad with blanched green beans and a simple herby sour cream and lemon dressing.
Ice cream in a cone for a simple dessert. I’m loving vanilla ice cream at the moment.
Forgetting to hang out the washing then hearing the neighbours curse as their washing gets wet in the rain – mwahahaha!
Market Kitchen. That show has so many scrumptious and really do-able recipes. Just tried their Pan-fried Chicken Livers with Pears and it was yum. I’m going to try and turn that into a pâté. (And doesn’t Tom Parker Bowles look just like his mother Camilla?? He just needs a wig, lipstick and a few decades on him and he too could be bedding Charles – *shiver*)
