You are right, I meant this year. Next month, in fact!

To write with a broken pencil is pointless.

Many moons ago, in a galaxy far away, there was a car dealership that gave out pencils with an eraser at both ends. The caption on the pencil said something like- Buy from us and you will never make a mistake. Well, umm, THEN WHY DO I NEED TWO ERASERS???!!!

My daughter will be having a squizz from the Observatory in Cape Town.

Nohmi, I hate to ask, but what the heck is a squiz?

A squiz is a 'look and see'.

In the land of Oz we call it 'sticky beaking'.

My daughter helps at the Observatory and sends me all sorts of 'photos and facts about astronomy, because I'm a 'sticky beak' and like to have a 'squiz'
at the latest 'photos.

Cheers

The Boskke Sky Planter lets you grow hanging plants upside down! The Sky Planters save floor space and use up to 80% less water than standard right-side-up planters. The planter uses an internal reservoir system to store water which drips to your plant’s roots, meaning you only have to water your plants about once a month (good thing because they’re mounted on the freakin’ ceiling!). The system also “locks in” the soil so you don’t get a mess. Boskke doesn’t provide any further details on how that works (top secret stuff here kids!) so you’ll just have to imagine it. Strange, but neat.

Hey Nohmi, I think your first spelling of squizz was right, I think I got it wrong. Anyway, did your daughter have a look? I was going to, but fell asleep in front of the telly (it's been a long week, and it's only Thursday...).
