Rob and I broke our recent trip on the wagon with a small outing last night involving 3 large gins. Thus lubricated, we sat down and laughed and laughed our way through the film
Airport 75 on Fox Classics. The airline disaster movie, starring Karen "Which of my cross eyes is looking at you?" Black and Charlton" Make mine a shotgun" Heston, tells the thrilling and often hilarious tale of a light aircraft that crashes into a 747 on approach to Salt Lake City. The film is so close to the spoof film
Airplane, it's a wonder anyone thought the spoof necessary at all. This morning we woke still chuckling at the memory of stewardess Karen Black taking the controls, with not a hair out of place, despite the massive hole in the cockpit.
We also received visitors in the form of Mark and John Russell, the Duthie family's oldest and closest friends, who are in Sydney from New Zealand for the weekend for tonight's Bledisloe Cup match. The rivalry between the All Blacks and the Wallabies is legendary and they had an inflatable Wallaby at the ready with which to insult Australian rugby fans. On our way out the door with them to the local growers' market, we discovered a huge slab of wet cement right outside the house, recently laid by the council. It was obviously too good an opportunity to miss, so after engraving the names of the girls and our next door neighbours kids for posterity, we also left a comment regarding the Ashes test going on in England at the moment.
Returning 2 hours later from the market we discovered our artwork completely removed, care of a council employee's trowl. That didn't stop us making a second imprint in the now quick drying cement. Ha!
