It's wet and miserable and grey here in Melbourne and I'm feeling a bit blah.

It seems summer has well and truly retreated and let the cold take its place.

So I have to cheer myself up, and what better way than with a lolcat?

Truly, there is no situation that an anthropomorphised cat can't improve.

Ordinarily, there's nothing I hate more than a trend that has had every. single. last drop of interesting- or appeal-factor completely wrung out of it by being replicated, duplicated and imitated to the very nth degree.

Like those Keep Calm and Carry On posters. I groan at the very sight of one.

Not because I think there's anything intrinsically wrong with them. They were cool once, for about 3 weeks. Three weeks after that, the trend reached complete saturation point and the appeal-factor, for me, had dropped off to zero.

But when I saw this version whipped up by the wickedly funny mind of Rosemary Beck over at the gorgeous blog, Content in a Cottage, I laughed out loud and had to share.

Chelsea who?

There have been a lot of giggles in print this week, and a few which I thought were worth sharing.

The first were the Top 4 Tweets the day after the recent election, published in a recent copy of The Big Issue.

The last one is my absolute favourite.

"Today feels like the morning after a party where everyone hooked up in the worst possible way and no one can look at each other." – mikestuchbery

"If Abbot wins, rich, heterosexual middle-aged conservative Christian white people might FINALLY get a say in how Australia is run." - DeathStarPR

"Australia has spoken. We said 'meh'." – onepotchef

"Nobody's in charge, Australia! Let's eat the condensed milk out of the can!" – benbirchall

I have a confession to make. The first thing I read on the front page of the Age newspaper isn't the headlines. It's the OddSpot.

This one made me laugh out loud.

"Two policemen called to a holiday centre in Torbay, UK, after a visitor had his camcorder stolen were photographed having a ride on a flying fox instead of investigating."

Classic. Naughty rookies.

I've written before how Steve Perkins' In Black & White column in the Herald Sun offers quirky little daily life stories from readers, and this one from Tuesday made me snort into my coffee.

"The Queenscliff Fort celebrated its 150th birthday on Saturday and a crowd had gathered to celebrate. The Victoria Police Pipe Band entertained the visitors.

Late into the festivities, the band leader asked if there were any requests, at which point a bloke in a St Kilda scarf and beanie called out, 'When the Saints Come Marching In'.

The band put their heads together, took their positions and launched into a stirring rendition of Good Old Collingwood Forever, much to the amusement of nearly everybody."

Ahhh. Music and comedy

As an aside, I absolutely love the sound of bagpipes. If I hear bagpipes, I come running.

Lastly, LOLcats never fail to elicit a laugh, and this cartoon from the website is no exception.

Hope some of those made you smile or laugh too
