:D

I went to the doctor today to make sure I'm not going to die. She listened to my heart, poked my stomach...then I got to go next door for a blood test! Oh it was so much fun! I had only had a TINY bit of water to drink in the morning so it took a while for the woman to find some blood. In National Geographic there was an article on China. According to the writer, only 10% of used water is treated. The rest is put back into the water cycle :yuck:

Then I went to the city to get some passport photos (not for my passport, but for general use)....I look like the grumpiest/unhappiest person ever! Then I bought some stuff and saw Dr Karl Kruszelnicki outside the bookshop, signing books. He even had a security guard!


WILDLIFE
Yesterday I cooked tea and required some parsley...I went out the front to the pot where the parsley grows, only to find that it had died :frown: However, I heard something russling in the leaves....


My mum was doing some gardening and picked up a 'stick', only to realise that she was holding this lizard! hahahaha!!


My dad and I went walking yesterday evening and we saw an echidna....and, my dad had a camera :smile:

The spikes are really weird looking; they appear to be hollow in the middle.


Echidnas eat termites/ants


We always thought that kids had been demolishing the ants' nests. But it was the echidnas!

If you go out in the woods today

, , , ...

If you go out in the woods today,
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely out in the woods today,
But safer to stay at home.





There's a stalker in the woods. It (yes I'm not sure if it's male of female) will follow you, hiding in the buses, slowly watching you. If you go out in the woods, make sure you take a bodyguard with you. I recommend my cousin! :up: I was ready to go back. Eventhough you can hear me laughing in the background, I can assure you , I thought my headstone would read 'killed by an emu while looking for a Christmas tree'. At least it's better than 'Died peacefully in her sleep'. Australia IS a DANGEROUS place!!!! I cannot stress that enough!




Some pics from the walk/yesterday:



Awww :smile: That's the same dog that was dressed in a skirt the other week.
