JC feel out of bed

JC feel out of bed again last night. This wasn't funny like last time, mostly because Mrs M and I have not had more than 5 hours of continuous sleep since the girls started sharing their bedroom a few weeks ago. There is some rubber matting on the floor to cushing the blow, and she was asleep again as soon as I plonked her back in her bed. It then took me 1 1/2 hours to fall asleep again, before PB decided 5:51am is the perfect time to wake up. All I can think about is how soon I will be in bed again.

To distract myself, here's a collection of breaking stories:

1. There's some major problems in Norway's hospitals: A hospital in the northern Norwegian town of Trondheim has opened a special "kiss 'n' drive" lane for employees after tiring of the traffic jams caused by their spouses dropping them off for work. Most people I know are pushing their spouses out the car as quickly as they can when they drop them off for work. The best part here is how they demarcate the lane: pink hearts are painted on the asphalt. That'll get them moving faster.

2. I have to include this one because Mrs M's family is Hungarian, and her 6 foot plus father is coming to stay with us soon. Tony Curtis is preparing for a new leading role - to help promote tourism in Hungary.

3. To prove there are also dumb Australians, there is this timely warning from doctors. Doctors have warned Australians not to eat slugs. I have to re-assess my lunch plans.

4. Times are tough in the Ukraine. They can't even afford real silencers anymore. Ukrainian police have arrested a man caught with a gun and a cabbage he intended to use as a silencer.

Lastly my first Competition is going well, with responses flooding in. That is actually a lie, but thanks to Oda Mae for the first story. Please feel free to join in by following this link or using the link on the sidebar. Just make up a story up. No one will ever know.
