Life on Mars

Thursday 29th October 2009
Don’t quite know what happened today really, we were mobbed in the Café today, probably our busiest day of the year so far and just to make it interesting, about 15 minutes before our afternoon member of staff was due to start and we were committed to letting other staff leave as they had worked maximum hours, the staff members mother phoned up to say that she wasn’t feeling well and wouldn’t be in.
Nothing like a bit of notice, and that was nothing like a bit of notice, fortunately Carolyn was able to come in and help with the close up.
Whether it has anything to do with extra people coming to town because the Busselton Show starts tomorrow, we don’t know, we certainly didn’t have this sort of fluctuation last year, long may it continue.
We watched the last episode of Life on Mars tonight and Ian is a bit confused, he can’t work out whether Sam was from 1973, in which case how did he know about modern police practices, or had gone back in time during his coma, in which case why? And how did he manage to get back to 1973 after presumably dying after jumping off the top of the police station?

Lost in Cov said...: I love LoM. I think it's better than the sequel Ashes to Ashes which is coming back for a third series when the 'meaning' of Gene Hunt is supposed to be revealed. I assumed that, after he jumped off of the building, Sam ended up in a coma again for a while before he finally expired so he was able to go back and rescue his team. That last episode was a bit traumatic!
Have you named the puppies yet?

Why is Fraser not Anthony anymore????

We get asked this a fair bit from the folks and friends back in the UK, so we explain..... Anthony was supposed to be Fraser but as we drove to hospital (yuk spit) in labour we realised his initials would be FA not great from a football point of view nor another you may think of, so Mr Hojo in his wisdom decided to swap the names around. Mrs Hojo was busy and should have said no, but there you go, she was busy producing offspring in a short staffed, worse than mediocre hospital that leaves people alone for hours on end when they really should be tucked up in a half empty ward, bitter? me? you noticed. Anyhow, Fraser has heard this story a few times, more as we were visiting the relatives one last time before we left the Uk for Oz and piped up that if his Mum wanted me called Fraser them I am.
And that was that.
We started in a new country and all remembered his name, easy as pie.
So now you know.
You know what, he really SHOULD have been called Fraser, it suits. And no one will ever call him Tony, thats a good thing :o)
