Friday 13th its bad luck to walk under a ladder, bad luck to see a black cat - so I think walking under a black cat would sorta kinda cancel out …

Those shells could be mussel spat. Keep an eye on them to see if they grow to harvestable size …

Is that the Niu Gini one that’s recently been re-discovered? I know they’ve got long beaked echidnas, but I think there’s been some developments on the short-beaked side quite recently.
He he, the actual word echidna is NOT an indigenous word - it comes from greek mythology and is the name of a goddess of chaos. quote below from theoi.com
“EKHIDNA (Echidna) was a monstrous she-dragon (drakaina) with the head and breast of a woman and the tail of a coiling serpent. She probably represented the corruptions of the earth–rot, slime, fetid waters, illness and disease.
Ekhidna was sometimes equated with Python “the Rotting One”, a dragon born of the fetid slime left behind by the great Deluge. Others name her the Tartarean lamprey, and place in her to the dark, swampy pit of Tartaros beneath the earth. Hesiod, makes her a daughter of monstrous sea-gods, and presumably associates her with rotting sea-scum and fetid salt-marshes.
Ekhidna was the consort of Typhoeus–a monstrous, multi-headed storm-giant who challenged Zeus to the throne of heaven. Together they spawned a host of terrible monsters to plague the earth including the Khimaira (Chimera), Kerberos (Cerberus), the Hydra, Sphinx and the Drakon Hesperios (Hesperian Dragon).
Four other closely related she-dragons were the Argive Ekhidna and Poine (Poena), the Tartarean Kampe (Campe), and the Phokian Sybaris.”

Hoppy birthday! All the beers you could want are coming your way.

Yes. Still do when I can. However, the big white ones that spring up in people’s lawns have 2 different sorts - one is edible & delicious. The other sort looks identical, but if you lightly score the white top with a fingernail and the mark turns yellow, they may give you a tummyache but won’t kill you. The yellow staining ones have a mild toxin that really upsets some people’s stomachs, but doesn’t affect others. I know a few spots that are reliable for goldtops too, but don’t always get there before the locals.

If you’re feeling chilly today - consider this heat wave in Iceland

Hot dogs are boiled. Sausage sizzles are ‘broiled’. One little consonant makes a mighty difference to the end result.

Advertising to the gullible. Which includes practically everyone who sees XXX-free on the label and thinks “That’s gotta be better for me!”. I am looking forward to fat-free soap.

Ain’t nuthin better than fresh hot blueberry scones with lashings of cream. Jam optional but goes on top.

I’ll have the third option down on the second menu from the right - with a large No.13 from the drinks menu. Please say thank you to the delivery robot for yesterday’s breakfast - very fast and efficient service that should be appreciated.

Spice it up by pretending to get bitten/clawed, or the patient runs around the clinic so you have to chase it down with a towel …

Like, customer service or treatment/first aid role plays?

I’ve tried 12 mins at 120 deg - eggs were room temperature and worked well for hard boiled. Doing the same with eggs from the fridge resulted in cooked whites and runny yolks.

Hugs. Start planning recovery time - the planning helps occupy the mind.

Mixed. I think they just bag the accumulated poop. I understand its mostly elephant poop as they produce so much.

I believe you can buy ZooPoo from Royal Melbourne Zoo, maybe Werribee as well. Yes, vegies do grow well in it.

Wimdy alright, and will get worse.

Chicken soup please. It’s been a rough weekend and my stomach is still very upset.

True. But I’m betting on this bloke knowing what he’s doing, given how beautiful his roses are year after year.
