Angry Birds

MDFD has found a game she likes, Angry Birds. She plays it a lot.

I played angry bird a few mintues ago. The bastard bit me. It's going to the vet tomorrow to see what's wrong with it - but I can assure the vet that it's biter is OK.

I was in the shower and Floyd was making strange noises. When I checked he was making the strange noises again and he came inside with me, then with a flap, flap, flap a galah flew up to the old dog bed which is hanging on the wall and sat there.

I found a box for him and an old polo shirt to catch him with, and he squwarked loudly when I grabbed him, but I didn't get the pointy end properly. He bit me through the shirt, and it's bruised and red already! I think there's something wrong with his wing, or he's just stunned.

I will write about Norfolk as soon as I can sit and think about the 500 photos I have!

Sea Critters - Portuguese Man o' War - not in Aus!

Portuguese Man o' War?

In Australia these are called bluebottles and they wash up on the beach often. The idea is to try not to get stung.


The really bad stingers are in the more northern waters. Irukandji and box jellyfish are two of them. Irukandji are found farther south than the box jellyfish.

Here is a comprehensive list, including pictures and descriptions.
