The best thing to come out of Sweden since IKEA
Wanderings, meanderings, traipses, twists and turns, the aimless and nomadic, the errant and fancy-free, the migratory, moving and rootless ramblings of a perambulatory, peripatetic and very wayward duck, far too big for her own pond.

Because its Wednesday, you get two
In 1988 a poodle fell from a high rise building in Buenos Aires, and killed three people. One was hit on the head by the poodle, one was hit by a bus and the third had a heart attack.
(from fright, one assumes)

The process of creating a new normal
You can do this with anything — exercise, meditation, procrastination. Gradually adjust what feels like normal to you.
Here’s the process:
- Start small. What’s the smallest increment you can do? Do this for at least 3 days, preferably 4-5.
- Get started. Starting the change each day is the most important thing. Want to run? Just get out the door. Want to meditate? Just get on the cushion.
- Enjoy the change. Don’t look at this as a sacrifice. It’s fun, it’s learning, it’s a challenge.
- Stick to the change. Notice your urge to quit. Don’t act on it. Keep going.
- Adjust again. When the change becomes normal, make another small adjustment.
This is the process of creating a new normal. It’s beautiful and simple.

”A burqa is actually is a loose robe, usually light blue, with a face covering that includes a mesh plate over the eyes – common only in Afghanistan. What’s slightly more common here is the niqab – a face covering, often black, often with eyes exposed – but most of the time when you see a Muslim woman in Australia she’s wearing a hijab (please refer to the bottom of the article for how threatened by each of these you should feel)
Amal Awad on the mis-named burqa debate
Very funny stuff, indeed
