Dead possum and noise pollution!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
On my way to the pool early this morning, I saw another dead possum body. I really do not like them much but the view of their fragile body on the pathway is always something sad to me. The dead body will stay there for few days and get decomposed. The view and the smell […]

I bought this carnivorous plant to eat flies. There are too many in Brisbane during the summer. I tried to play with it and it works great. You just slide somehing thin between the trap and it closes itself very quickly…quite impressive! Hopefully it will eat as many flies as it can! On the right […]

Saturday swimming!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
As usual unexpected! Very nice swim today and, lucky, I had a triathlete next to my lane. At the beginning, I thought that he was too fast for me, but after few laps, I got back to his level. I hope the pleasure was reciprocal! The new vacuum cleaner is very powerful. My eyes are […]

And I took the normal one!” So I got the extension offer by email. I will have to sign the papers, confirm the information and I will get the 6 months extension. Will I ever make that jump?
