It’s Bandanna week here in New Zealand. Every year at this time Canteen (the charity that supports young kids and teens with cancer) sells bandannas to raise funds and awareness. Several New Zealand sportsmen and women do designs for the bandannas including Maria Tutaia (Silver Ferns netball), Dan Carter (All Blacks rugby) and Scott Dixon (Indy Cars). For my TT today I thought I’d do a list of ways to wear or use a bandanna.

Thirteen Ways to Use a Canteen Bandanna

1. Arm sling

2. CD or DVD wiper

3. Tea towel

4. Parachute for toys

5. Fancy Dress

6. Dog scarf

7. Gym Towel

8. Pirate scarf

9. Wrapping paper for a gift

10. Apron

11. Sew several together to make a skirt

12. Picnic blanket

13. I use mine as a hair accessory – to tie back or keep out of my face.

How would you use a bandanna?

On the surface a dentist has nothing to do with the Indianapolis 500, however both things happened to New Zealanders over the weekend. I ate a chocolate and broke a filling (if there’s a moral in there I don’t want to know!) and Scott Dixon won the Indianapolis 500. I’m now booked in for a long overdue dentist visit while Scott Dixon is a few million dollars richer.

Here’s the link for the story on Scott Dixon’s win. We’re all very proud of him.

I’m also blogging over at the Danger Zone today. My post is on extreme sports.
