Brett's Monthlies:

From sister in law Pip in respect of Brett’s dates and special occasions for October:

Hi Otto.  

I enjoyed the mustard article, and loved the list of wacky months and days. But you forgot National Sausage Roll week, popularised by none other than the lovely Kate. I always think a good one is worth celebrating.  

Love Pip

Thanks, Pip

The backstory is that Kate, my wife and Pip’s sister, hails from Canberra, which gets colder than . . . *

Kate now lives in much more temperate Sydney but back in her days In Canberra, a work colleague would declare at least once weekly during the colder months that it was National Sausage Roll Week. He then bought sausage rolls and treated the office.

Takes your pick . . . 

“Colder than the nipple on a witch's tit

Colder than a bucket of penguin shit

Colder than a hair on a polar bear's ass

Colder than the frost on this champagne glass.”

- Thomas Pynchon, Gravity’s Rainbow

Colder than a mother in law’s kiss.

Colder than my ex-wife’s heart.

Colder than moonlight on a tombstone.

Colder than a landlord’s heart.
