B'less me

In Anne's blog entry about our trip to The Blue Mountains she criticised me for bringing a pen away with me so that I could do the crossword in The Herald. It wasn't as though I was planning to do the crossword whilst on the bushwalk - we spent hours and hours on coaches at the weekend and I wanted something to help pass the time. Yes, OK, I did end up with biro ink all over a decent shirt, but that's been discussed to death so I'll gloss over that here. What Anne conveniently forgot to say is that I finished the weekend cryptic crossword and have sent it in for the chance to win an Aussie dictionary! It's only the second time I've finished the prize crossword since I've been here, and I don't think Anne was sufficiently impressed.

What gets me is Anne's comment that "Stephen was being very him". All this time I've been thinking Anne's been saying "Bless you", when in fact she's saying to me "be less you". What a terrible thing for a girl to say to her boyfriend!
