New order

Not for takeaway, although my mum tells me there's a man in Australia who's been measuring hamburgers for twenty or so years and, they're getting smaller! However, the Aussies have a new Prime Minister, not only was she born in Wales but she's a redhead to boot. This should bode well for OZ but, what do I know. They have a new Labour minister while UK ousted them and went over to the Conservatives. Perhaps the time has come for change world wide, or maybe people get a tad bored with what they have and seek change.
2012 is coming ever closer and anyone who's interested in the Mayan calendar has a different idea of what it may bring. We see so many things going on, be they natural disasters, new government policy around the world, new eating habits, whatever. Do we pick up on these happenings only because we've been given notice so to speak, or is there a definite shift. We'll know soon.
One thing I do know, call me squeamish if you will but today I read about a new decor item. You can buy a cowskin soccerball. O.K. so far. But this one (of many I gather) is identified by the individual cow's name and number. Yeuch. I think that is awful.There's a photo, not of the cow thank goodness but the ball.
What next.
