Thankfully, this one doesn't talk. It ju...Haha! Thankfully, this one doesn't talk. It just plays "I'm a little teapot" on high rotation when the lid's button is pressed, or makes an electronic flourish when tilted. My mum said she'd also had no idea until the 40 min drive home in the car after she'd bought it.<br /><br />I thought Victoria didn't do public holidays for Anzac Day? At least, they didn't when we lived there - I remember looking forward to the day off, then feeling so ripped off when it didn't happen (although, it had fallen on a weekend - but I thought there'd be a long weekend, like in NSW).<br /><br />Yeah, I'm really surprised that Americans don't do Good Friday - especially given how in-your-face Christianity is over here...Madeleinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193070164584925505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961604105772410147.post-20742572668796794252011-04-22T21:20:44.415-07:002011-04-22T21:20:44.415-07:00That sounds like such a cool way to do something f...That sounds like such a cool way to do something fun with Freya now that she is growing up. Isn't it good to think that we can do grown up things with them now? I was going to ask if you'd managed to snaffle any more hot crossies but clearly, you have. <br /><br />They put little holes in children's playthings now, presumably in case some poor little tot falls into them, nose first. Honestly, it's madness.<br /><br />I was amazed when I found out the US doesn't "do" Good Friday. There is still a kerfuffle here when anyone bar a fish and chip shop wants to open. They have however progressed to having football matches and for some reason that is all right.<br /><br />We've actually got a five day weekend here because of Anzac Day. It's been lucky for me as I only work Monday, Tuesday and Friday so that means I will have had a small unintentional holiday. Pity so much of it has been stolen by gastro.<br /><br />I know that tea set of which you speak. I bought it for a friend's daughter and the fricken thing talked all the way home in the bus. When I found out she already had one, I had to return it and yes, it talked all the way BACK on the bus. I was half waiting for it to squawk "What the hell is going on?" when I left it at the returns counter.melbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14032793912135092967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961604105772410147.post-66125906958979613802011-04-22T20:28:16.379-07:002011-04-22T20:28:16.379-07:00How lovely.
