Where would the Olsen twins be today without Full House? Nowhere, that's where. And where would I be today without Rittenhouse? In jail, that's where. Mainly because I'd be naked. New season Rittenhouse is now at Monk House. You can have that bit of info on the house.

Last weekend I tried to join the zeitgeist, enter the general public, go with the flow, be a tip top Melbourne girl ... all of those things. So I went to ACMI to see a Tim Burton film. SO Melbourne, right? And can I tell you - the public are everywhere. There were so many publics at the film that I had to sit in the front row. Now I'm having Burtonesque nightmares but gee, I bet I'm not alone.

Did you hear that Danish man on the radio yesterday morning talking about how the Australians were silly for having mandatory laws on bike helmets? He thinks if we could ride without a helmet we'd be less scared and more inclided to leave the car at home. From a fashion perspective I kind of agree, and definitely from a hair point of view. But gee, does anyone know any neaurosurgeons? They are really busy. Let's keep our spots on our bikes shall we?

My mum grows Golden Delicious apples that are so amazing at this time of year that I find myself saying they are the single good thing about winter. I'm not even exagerrating a tiny bit - it is the only thing to look forward to. That and getting back under the covers every night. Stinkin' winter.

I once asked my dad to draw me a picture for a school project. He was kind of pleased as one of the other school dad's drew that catroon 'Snake' for The Age and Dad thought he'd give him a run for his money. He didn't. He sucked at it. Arabella Ramsey's dad is the real deal. I bet she is not nearly as embarrassed as I was.

Dear Michi, where does the expression 'cold shoulder' come from?

Freezing Deltoids, Fitzroy

Dear FD, the origin of this expression dates back to colonial times when visitors to a house who were welcome were given a hot meal - but those who weren't were offered only a 'cold shoulder' of mutton. That'll be ten bucks thanks.

Regards

I remember watching The Secret Garden as a kid and being so entranced by the idea that I could sneak into a green oasis where no one could see me and I could play on my own. As I have grown older it has changed to a desire to be on my own anywhere but where I am supposed to be. So if I miss any meetings with you this week, try here. There's every chance I'm hiding in that green roly-poly thing.

Q: What do you get when you cross industrial designers, fashion designers and interior designers with a push bike?

A: A moving installation and retail store - The Social Studio|No Fixed Address. I wish I had thought of it myself. Stunning little pushie and great clothes, together at last. And if they forgot to get a permit they can just roll it all up and hot foot it outta there. Genius.
