What's happening in your world?

[Nuytsia]

Nuytsia: I eat raw garlic but I'm almost certain that I'm not to blame for your garlic vandalism. Your down under animals must be way tougher than ours here in Canada, because nothing has ever eaten my planting garlic, ever. (Well, except my father once, but he didn't realize it was for planting.)

*finds more garlic eaten*
*shakes fist at the sky* 'Lord Punctuallllll!'
*thinks hmm or maybe her father?*

Yes our animals ARE tough, but I'd hate to see how they fared in a cage match style contest with YOURS!
Ours are tiny by comparison. Then again, some have a lot of venom so that could go in their favour.

I hope it was a spider and not bed bugs. We're having a bed bug epidemic in North America right now. *shudders* Luckily I am bed bug free for the time being.

I'm not so sure I'd go so far to *hope* a spider bit me, although as I'm still alive I guess it wasn't one of the killer ones. BUT aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bed bugs!!! That sounds so gross!!! *madly Googles to see if we even get such a thing*

I'm an instructor at a Sea Cadet corps. (A seamanship instructor, in fact.)

Cool! You must love the liveship books!!!
I used to see cadets doing ..... whatever it is cadets do .... think they were marching and stuff... at the front of the greyhound/trotting arena (gees sounds really obscure when i type it) when i drove past every week in WA. I think it was some sort of army cadets though...... I do know they had snappy uniforms. So we do have them in Aus, or at least in West Aus.

In ones shirtsleeves refers to wearing a shirt that would normally be worn with a jacket over it. .....

I knew it meant in a shirt but I never really thought about EXACTLY what it meant! That makes sense..

What's happening in my world: Yay we got 5 mm of rain yesterday .... (well our nearest weather station did, I think we may have got a bit more but who knows). So our water supplies are slightly topped up. Now we just need 50 mm of rain and we'll be set. Hey it could happen - last June we got 150 mm in one day. WTF! I don't really want that though..... we DON"T want our bridge washing away now do we?

Oooh this one's for Farseer - it is now officially winter no matter what the calendar says. Our max today was 8.4 C, it was 2.8 C at 7.30pm tonight and it has got down to 1.3 C between then and now ..... so I suspect it will be a white morning out there tomorrow!
