Cat chat with Bobi

By Bobi

My brother has a new kitten. 

Y’all think that kittens are adorable. I can tell. 

Apparently I should have been happy to provide amusement to my family. I know that we all need a laugh in these unprecedented times but a dad joke would have sufficed. 

My brother has a fondness for black cats. He says they are stealth bombers.

And he does acknowledge that they are evil but excuses that on the basis that he speaks cat. 

I am guessing that it says something about my brother but I agree with him that films with, and about, cats are much more entertaining than those with dogs. One of my favourite scenes ever is that one with the Siamese cats in The Lady and the Tramp. Now there’s an ear worm. 🎼

I know someone is going to mention The Lion King. I haven’t seen it. It optimises something about children’s movies that I hate with a passion: the tired cliche of the death of a parent. Why do we think it’s okay to reduce children to tears with a trauma at the beginning of a movie? There should be an equivalent of the Bechdel test.

Still, I can’t wait for Cats to come to Netflix. I love a B-grade movie. Unintentional laughs are just the best.

Bachelor Locky

Bubbly dancer Nicole is gone and we are back in the mansion for one of those awkward episodes that starts with a rose ceremony, just to make us think we got our time’s wrong and came in halfway through.

Will lovely Steph and the other one (Maddie?) ever get a single date?

Probably not – they have become the spares. Tonight Bella whinges about her Irina’s perceived wrongdoing and it blow up in her face.

I don’t know them from a bar of soap but since reality TV is all about judging people, I’m Team Irina.

Junior MasterChef promo

No airdate yet but I’m looking forward to watching this with Mr 8. Hopefully he will up his game from zapping a slice of cheese in the microwave to melt it.

Plate of Origin quarter finals

What! Quarter finals of POO already?

The blurb for Monday: The competition steps up a notch, launching into the fast and furious quarter-finals as the eight remaining teams learn that half of them will be eliminated in a succession of quick-fire, head-to-head matches.

Tuesday: The quarter finals fast-and-furious round continues, with the last four teams left to cook battling for the final two places in the semi-final.

Do you think it will be renewed for a second season? They must be paying the judges a fair whack?

POO screens 7.30pm on Seven.

General chat with Daisy

By Daisy

You bought the $20 million lotto ticket. At first, maybe you apportion some to give away to family, friends or charities.

Now, let’s say you now have $10 million you have kept to set yourself up nicely. So, what would you do?

What in your life would change?  What would stay the same? Coronavirus would limit some of your options. For instance, there’d be no first class flight to Europe. No house in Provence – not for a few years at least. 

So what then? A farm? A boat? A luxury mobile home? Buy out all your neighbours so you can live in peace and quiet? What selfish indulgences would you like?

And what would you have done with your first $10 million? The $10 million you shared, gave away? See, when you spend your winnings in your head, you at least get a little trip down Fantasy Lane for your money.
I’ll start. Off the top of my head: I’ll share my first $10 million with family, friends and donate toward the protection of native bushland, flora and fauna. I’d also donate toward Aboriginal education. 
Since coronavirus has stomped on my travel plans, I think I might buy a nice mobile home to drive around WA.

I’d buy more plants for our garden, and I’d put money aside for Woolif and me to have a gardener, housekeeper and, later on, a nurse so we can stay living where we do.
Ask me next week, and my answer might be different. 
What’s your imaginary spending spree?

Bachelor Lockydown nearly over

Well, that didn’t last long. We get one more night of Bachelor Lockydown and then it’s back to the mansion for more angst.

Tonight intruder Bec enters the scene. Bet she’ll quickly be in Locky’s bubble.

Intruder Bec is 25 so is obviously worried she has missed her chance to find a partner with whome to set up an Insta bikini fitness empire.

Tonight (Wed): As Love In Lockdown draws to a close, the girls are invited on a virtual group date where they will have the opportunity to introduce their nearest and dearest to Locky.

Thurs: It’s the first group date since everyone returned to the mansion and the ladies finally get to do what they couldn’t during lockdown: get physical with Locky. Locky is blindfolded and stripped down to his underwear.

The Bachelor airs on Ten at 7.30pm.
