A whole new level

I think I have turned into a Grumpy Old Woman.  I'm not even in the process of turning ... it's a done deal!  I've been reading the real estate ads in today's (Saturday's) edition of the Cairns Post and it appears the English language has morphed into something I don't always understand.

Once we had Juliette balconies that they gave way to gourmet kitchens, whatever they are, I thought it was the food produced that was gourmet, not the cupboards but now it seems we have "single tandem parking".

As I've always had a spatial problem and maths has always been my weak point I can only conclude that single and tandem can now be used together but to what end I have no idea unless there is only room to park one tandem bicycle.  I referred to Wikipedia to check on my understanding and found the following -
"The tandem bicycle or twin is a form of bicycle (occasionally, a tricycle) designed to be ridden by more than one person. The term tandem refers to the seating arrangement (fore to aft, not side-by-side), not the number of riders."  So that must be what they mean!  Funny though, it looked like an ordinary carport.

Spiritual Cinema Circle

I can highly recommend the Spiritual Cinema Circle and the monthly subscription for their DVDs.  Content varies greatly each month and ranges between personal development, esoteric, spiritual and anything inbetween.  The first month is free, you just pay the postage which is very small on one DVD.  Otherwise it's $AU30 on present conversion from the US$.  It's available worldwide now I believe.

It's our entertainment for the month which also brings about some personal growth.  A worthwhile indulgence.

If you live in Cairns or the Atherton Tablelands I'm quite happy to lend you one or two to show you the quality.  Next month will be Bob Proctor as one part of the DVD.
