no it was cold but bright today
Not too rainy and the sun was nice.

And I'm getting GMoS some internet love and fluff because a) I can't be arsed giving more, b) if I could be arsed - I'm on the other side of the world, c) I don't know GMoS. At all.

Awww!
I want a pet Bilby! Look at those ears!
( spangolin - the odds are good but the goods are odd, Fri 29 May 2009, 8:22, archived)

their ears are pretty soft
I got to pat one once - they're critically endangered. There's less then 1000 of them I think. Introduction of foxes meant they were almost completely wiped out. They have a breeding program at this place up in Queensland - way way north.

If he likes anything of the lines of ...
Deadly snakes, deadly spiders, deadly marine life that can chomp you to death or poison you with stingers or bites, Kangaroos, Koalas, Quokkas, Bilbies, Emus that can gut you, or backpack serial killers then he'll be bound to find something.

Oh - echindas are pretty cute. I think he'd like one of them. Their spikes aren't actually hurty, they're really soft and nice to pat.

The UK is better
I suggest moving

We have:

Changeable but mostly cloudy weather
Correct tea
Real money
( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Fri 29 May 2009, 8:10, archived)

Tis the plan my lovely!
I'm moving over on the 24th of November next year after my final exams are done!

And I love tea.

sounds like home in England.
Not kidding. We have one of the highest rates of alcohol and drug abuse in my state, violence (sexual and general), currently have a very high rate of unemployment (I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to hold three jobs, even if only one is regular) and it is quite honestly one of the most depressing places to be.

Also Racism and Sexism is alive and well.
So yeah - sounds pretty similar!

There do seem to be a disproportionate amount of animals that can disembowel you
Cassowaries, emus, kangaroos....

I hit a cassowary with a rental car in Queensland
It just bounced out of the bush infront of me.

Made an awful mess of the car.
( Anthropos Was making beer on, Fri 29 May 2009, 8:28, archived)

yup - they do that.
kangaroos and emus can kill you if you hit them in a small car - not fucking kidding.

I was warned about it!
Luckily this was a rent a wreck type place and I was insured. A massive old Ford Station Wagon of some description.
