A butcher, a red cardigan, and a music video

• It’s Sunday night and I’ve been watching Merlin while waiting for our large pot of bacon bones soup to cook.  The bones were bought from our local butcher; a man who told us he used to be a vegetarian.  I wasn’t sure if he was serious, or merely telling us an old line for dramatic effect.  I can only imagine the person who interviewed him for the position either didn’t question him very thoroughly, or had a sick sense of humour.
• On Saturday I went shopping with the balance on my birthday gift-card for something to wear for drinks with the girls.  I bought a cardigan!  It’s red and very cute.  But really.  A cardigan?!  On Saturday night I sat drinking cocktails with my friends in a very trendy bar full of glamorous women, not one of whom was wearing a cardigan, and I thought “Uh, the extreme modesty I embraced as a young Jehovah’s Witness is never ever going to leave me.”
•  On Friday night I discovered how little attention I was paying to that Sarah Blasko music video.  In case you’ve forgotten, and I wouldn’t blame you if you have, a few weeks ago I saw a music video of Sarah Blasko in a pretty layered dress leading a dappled grey horse across the landscape, and it caused me to download her latest album ‘What the sea wants, the sea will have’  for the lovely song she was singing.  Well, as I was perusing the Net on Friday night, I accidentally stumbled over another Sarah Blasko album.  One which was released on Friday.  And somehow I just knew the song I’d heard was on THAT album, not the one I bought.  So, I searched for and found an online version of the music video I’d seen, and, well,  yup, Sarah was in a pretty skirt and top leading a roan horse *luckily Gemara and Boozer aren’t around to hear that one* across the landscape singing a lovely song,  which is on her newest album. *blush*
