Watch the dingoes. Last time I went there (a couple of years ago, now) they were even stealing peoples shoes on the beach. They've also been caught straying into peoples hotel rooms when the doors...
It's not fair - I was at work during the week (in the air conditioning!!!) thinking how lovely it would be to be at home in bed with a good book because it was raining and cold, and now the weekend...
Thanks, Eve! I will check it out.
Roxy, do your parents have airconditioning? (Most people in Brisbane do by now, but our house has good ventilation so we are trying to resist and save a little...
Hi guys! I'm meeeeelting! It is only in the mid-thirties, but the humidity must be through the roof! :(

People heads are so screwed up these days by generations of advertising that has been promoted as "education". We...
I began to donate blood (we do it for free here in Australia) just to find out what blood type I had - I mentioned that I was curious to find out my iron levels as I am a strict vegetarian (the word...
There is a poster up at the food court at the hospital I work at - it is on a board that is supposed to provide nutritional information. It says "Women need three serves of dairy a day" or something...
I was at the health food store and saw dried mung beans in the bulk section and thought "gee, I read a yummy-sounding dahl recipe with those in it" and so I bought a cup or so and will be making it...
