Lest we forget

Short and sweet.

Anzac Day today.

Crush went to the Dawn Service with some of her students. I think I may have grunted at her as she left at 4am or some such ridiculous time.

During the week I learned about the Armenian Genocide. While we commemorate Anzac day on the 25th, the 24th marks the beginning of the Armenian tragedy . Arguably, the invasion at Gallipoli was one of the catlysts of the Genocide, and it was to be a harbinger of the terror that followed through the 20th century.

I'd never heard of it. We learn about Anzac day, but nothing about the other tragedy that was unfolding. Maybe we just don't have the space to care about all the bad things that happen?

Anyway.

On a lighter note:

I need this. Kerry-Anne was selling it. She wouldn't lie, would she?

It's an inflatable couch thingy for crunching your abs - you rock backwards and forwards getting 3 EXCERCISES IN ONE.

The buff model using it was trying not to laugh.

I also saw a inflatable thingy you put under your mattress to turn your bed into a automatically recllining one. All the footage was in fast forward, with models trying not to move. The claim that it "inflates in seconds" doesn't mention that about 120 of the seconds are need.

I love those hare-brained products.

Now I am off to drink many more coffee.
