Also, I used to have a pet skink that looked a lot like that. I called him Guntash. (Because he was so fast. No, that isn't supposed to make sense.)
My avatar is me, so here is a picture of my cat instead:
and one of a Doomadillo:
I thought *I* lived in a cold climate!
Those guys hibernate over winter so you find them inside your umbrella, shoe etc.
Guntash the skink, heheh sounds good!
Go black cats!!!!!!!! I see it's not just Americans who like to dress up their cats...
Should I dare to ask what a Doomadillo is? Did you paint that? Yay I'll have to put up pics of my craft!

I want to say how I eat my beautiful home grown apples and make ya jealous but I'm afraid I'm still waiting for the trees to mature!!!!!
Ohhh I just bought a blueberry bush the other day so I can't wait for those too. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I'm kind of a terrible gardener, but I'm trying my best. No excuse for not growing your own berries and fruits here.

Well I can't claim to know anything about fishing, but it does seem to be a hugely popular thing here! I hope you wouldn't be disappointed by the scenery though - I must say Tasmania isn't quite how I pictured it. But then again I'm not sure what it looks like in 'the River Runs Through It' and also I'm not 100% sure what prime Tasmanian fly fishing country looks like either! (it all seems to be in the centre? hehehe the REALLY COLD bit ...... )
