Garn. What a bleedin' softie. You dunno what cold is.

Melbourne: current temperature as at 1:02 this afternoon: 9.4 degrees.

Ballarat: current temperature as at 1:02 this afternoon: 4.6 degrees.

Think I'll slip outside and get those Egyptian walking onions in. A bit late to be planting onions, I know, but they should still do OK I hope.

The best onions you can't buy, so long as you have a nice mild cultivar. Beautiful small-medium bulbs in clusters a bit like garlic (break off a small one or a big one depending on how much you want), mild in flavour but with just enough bite to let you know that it's an onion: good for salads (sliced thin), great for cooking. Plus in summer you get those weird-looking bunches of little bulbs waving around in the air. These have a sharper flavour, you can pickle them if you like but are best value used in salads and sandwiches like shallots or spring onions or chives. Just a little goes a long way!

And a damn good little number it was too. I got through university by playing in a cover band for $100 a night (which was good money in those days). We played pretty much everything - Buddy Holly, Stones, Dire Straits, Beatles, Led Zep, country classics, little bit of jazz, Motown classics, you name it. Basically anything we thought we could play and quite a few things we probably couldn't play. Some jobs wanted a whole night of heavy rock, some jobs you played 50s rock 'n roll all night, some crowds only wanted country and western. Didn't matter: whatever you played you got your hundred bucks so it was all good. Mostly you started off with an all-sorts mixture set and at some point the dance floor would suddenly fill up and you'd say "right, country crowd here, we will play all the C&W songs we know". You never knew what 30 or 40 songs you were going to need to play that night until you started the first set and figured out what the crowd was like, so you had to know lots of numbers. Easy enough for me: on bass if I got lost I could just follow the guitarist. Easier still for the drummer. But it always had me buggered how our singer could remember all those words!

Anyway, out of all those great old songs we used to play, there are only two or three that stand out as ones we never played but should have, and Walk Like an Egyptian is one of them. No idea why not. It would have been a heap of fun.

Here is another one we unaccountably never did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4hXyALR9vI
