    When most people think of Australia they think of this:

    Yes I picture the digery doo playing constantly while being in Australia. Maybe the dingo was chasing the roo bear, and that's why it was glowing?
  • Aug 12, 2010, 10:02 AM
    shazamataz

    Oh yes, there is always a didgeridoo soundtrack being played here! We own one but I'm not very good at it.

    The kangaroo is glowing because our dirt is different to yours, when it heats up it glows, and when the kangaroo bounds through the dirt it gets the special glowiness all over it.

    These are my favourtie aussie animals though, get them all the time at my parents place:

    Drop bears? I didn't know you had hedgehogs in Aussy. I love them, they are sooo cute. We have big giant porcupines. I found a pic of Shazzy hitching a ride to school.

    Okay I just googled drop bears, are they really that DANGEROUS? They look so cute! I saw one pic where one was eating a full grown man! It say that 1 in 10 Australians are attacked by Koala's. That's so scary!

    Is 'drop bear' another name for koala? Because they look an aweful lot like them?

    Okay, I didn't read back, so all I'm seeing is pictures of Australian creatures and talk about "drop bears" which I believe are in fact Koalas. :)

    Is this the part where I make you all believe that Canadians live in Igloos and that we eat polar bears, seals, penguins and go ice fishing all year round?

    Oh, and because we're really behind the times, our police ride horses instead of cars. ;)

    Shazzy already confirmed this with pictures a few pages ago :)

    And your police wear red jackets and weird looking hats right?

    Yes, and they ride horses and chase polar bears through our Igloo towns. ;)

    Actually, I think the real RCMP wear blue. But the RCMP that do parades and such, they wear red, weird hats, and ride horses.

    A greenie for any non-Canadian that can tell me what RCMP stands for without googling it. :)

    Bear dear, I don't know what the rabbits in England look like, but here in Canada, rabbits are much smaller than horses. ;)

    I take it you booked some time off to do the decorating? And now that its done you can go back to work?
  • Aug 13, 2010, 02:51 AM
    redhed35

    The decorating came as an after thought...

    Got some holiday money to top up what I have saved and decided to pour it into the house.

    I can't wallpaper though,waiting on my dad to help with that one.

    Brendan on shift for another week,the man works crazy hours.

    I feel bad asking him to help with the house so I keep putting him off and try and do a lot myself.

    Its 'harvest' time where he works so its chock a block with grain.

    At least he has work.

    Tonight he will get home about 7pm he started work at 5am,and no doubt he will be fast asleep by 9...
