A sporadic record of the most and least interesting things experienced in the am and pm during lulls from Australian life

AM
Least: I was up at five-ish this morning helping an ill Rosie when I succumbed to the temptation to begin reading the Readers' Comments in the various News Limited papers. As always global warming brought out all of the paranoid types and their boring explanations of why climate change is a sham. As Scott of New Zealand wrote at 4:08pm "This is embarrassing for Australia".
Most: At about 6:25am I left the Sanshou Mansion to visit a nearby drinks machine. The morning was warm and crystal clear with a view of the surrounding moutains. The sky was blue with a sprinkle of high cloud - beautiful.
PM
Least: At 2.16pm I discovered that my ICOCA card had suffered from some internal catastrophe rendering it useless. Instead of spending my commute smugly sailing through the stiles, I could be found standing at machines fumbling for change and buying paper tickets. There is also 750yen hidden somewhere on that card.
Most: At about 12:35pm while shopping at the overpriced but good Kohyo supermarket I couldn't help but notice the nice little range of whale products that have appeared this week. Various bacons, blubbers and a delicious looking fillet basked quietly in the sashimi section. It wasn't that expensive either.
