You've changed...

I heard a rumour the other day that the Australian Government is mooting an assistance package to Australian dairy farmers after milk consumption has strangely and rapidly decreased in the past month.

Very un-Rudd like, the word on the street's that Kevin is even calling for an inquiry into what people are now coining 'milkgate'.

Just kidding...

Since I left Australia, my milk consumption has decreased from an average 1-1.5L a day, to about 0.5L per week. Furthermore, good quality meat that isn't in bed with Mr E. Coli is also pretty hard to find in and around my Soi, so I have been eating a lot of vegetarian-based dishes.

And yet another slap in the face to my old Aussie dairy farming mates, I'm starting to drink soy milk. Oh God.

Fresh, cheap, pleasantly-flavoured milk seems to be hard to come by in Thailand. There's UHT and powder - which I don't mind - but after my stint in hospital, I seem to have reformed into a soy-drinking, vegetable-eating girly-man.

I need help.

Can someone please send a batch of bovine-related products to arrest this decline in self...at the very least, I'll need a few litres of milk and a basket of assorted cheeses (and some nice crackers!).

Cass begs for picnics - you cheese and 'decent' crackers, I wonder what Amelia would crave if she were away?

Money.

I think we all could do with more of that, not only bug. I've had a little think and I guess it would be the humble lamb chop (with some mash of course).

I'll have a few of those as well!

It's no coincidence that since you've left the government has had to launch an inquiry into declining milk prices.
I think you were keeping the industry afloat.
