Music Monday: The Bamboos featuring Tim Rogers - I Got Burned

I do love my Aussie bands and here is another favourite. I can't quite remember how I came across The Bamboos a few months ago but I have been quite obsessed with them recently. Especially with this song "I Got Burned"- it's seriously catchy and this song alone made me buy their album. 

Time for The Ashes

The Ashes starts this week and I want to be able to stay up and watch it all but that's seriously gonna interrupt my sleeping pattern as coverage starts at 11pm here. I think my morning routine will involve meditation and then a cricket catch up! What a way to start the day :-)

Aussie Alert!

Regular readers of my blog will have seen that blog title and assumed I was going to do another blog about some more hot Aussie males. Well I'm glad to have surprised you, I'm not going to. 

Just yet anyway.

No this is about Aussie hair products. I have thick, flyaway curly hair and I cannot live without Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle Frizz Remedy Deep Treatment. It's the only thing I've found that tames my hair and makes me feel I'm not walking around with a great puffball of hair on my head.

We love a bad guy right?

We all love a bad guy right?

Ok maybe not ALL of us do but there is something about a bad guy that is strangely attractive. Maybe it's because everyone warns you away from him that makes you want him more. It's so unfair.

Wimbledon time

It seems hard to believe that it's Wimbledon time all over again. I think this year it seems even more weird with The World Cup being on at the same time too, but anyway today it starts all over again.

Goodbye Powderfinger...

Today Powderfinger announced that The Sunsets Tour later this year would be the last tour and that their recent album Golden Rule will be their last. I'm in despair...

The Plastic Joy Award!

This award was created by Tattooed Mummy over at her blog... She states:

Sarah Loves... Simon Baker

I do I love him, just don't tell Spurs boy okay?

He is currently in the hit TV series The Mentalist and he has certainly "perked" up my Sky+ recordings since the second season has recently returned to Channel five.

My Favourite ER Character

Whilst watching the repeats of the final season I was thinking about who my favourite ER character was and I was actually quite surprised when I wrote out my Top 5.

Ok in 5th place is...


Dr Mark Greene played by Anthony Edwards.

In 4th place...

Dr Tony Gates played by John Stamos. You can follow him on twitter @JohnStamos. Ok now this is where the surprise comes in I guess...

At No 3 is...


Yes, this even surprised myself! He's at No 3!

Now No 2 is...


Dr John Carter played by Noah Wyle.

And yes I bet now you're thinking who is No 1 because it's not Ross or Carter well...

No 1 is ...


Dr Simon Brenner played by David Lyons.

So why him? Well not only is David Lyons a hot Aussie actor (he is very similar to Simon Baker from The Mentalist) but I think Brenner's character is actually the most intruguing of all the characters on the show. David Lyons should have been nominated for an Emmy for the performance below when he tells Dr Morris about being abused by his Mum's boyfriend as a child.




I still can't watch that scene without crying it's so powerful and wonderfully acted.

And for those like me who are having withdrawal symptoms from there being no David Lyons on TV, he's coming back to our screens in Day One, a drama series which has been called War of the Worlds meets Lost. The trailer below is unfortunately quite low in quality but is intriguing.



Who is your favourite ER character? Any thoughts on Day One?
