SHAZAM!

Bit of a slow day today. Did the laundry, vacuumed a bit and shazam! the day was gone. Which reminds me I heard something interesting recently regarding "shazam". It comes from the Captain Marvel comic which began in 1939. Shazam is an acronym for:

S Solomon Wisdom
H Hercules Strength
A Atlas Stamina
Z Zeus Power
A Achiles Courage
M Mercury Speed

There you go! More absolutely essential information.

After a call to Dad (who is an expert in all sorts of things) I went to the hardware store and bought some mortar mix and a sponge for the task of repointing the sill caps under my west facing window. A job for next weekend.

My voyage through the Great Ideas of Philosophy has progressed to Aristotle now.

I think I might invest in a brush cutter attachment for my whipper snipper. I have one of those ones that can take a variety of 'heads' by attaching different shafts. That might make it easier to clear the way for the chook house.

Ok thats all for today.

Oh and I took off the email notification thingy. It didn't work quite the way I thought it would.

I remember watching Shazam the television show as a kid. Cant remember too much about it because I was so young, but I do remember him shouting "SHAZAM" just before doing anything spectacular.
