Things that please me - Part 5

I found two blue tongue lizards today. One was big and fat shuffling around in a garden bed. My cat was curious so I helped him to hide under my back deck. The other was a small one in my shed. I heard they help keep snakes away but I don't know if that's true.

Maybe not the appropriate thread but this was a couple of suburbs from where I live. About 8 of them..

I have a phobia of snakes. If I saw them in my backyard I would die instantly.

Not sure this is actually possible.

Apparently it is.

Have landed a small consulting gig this week, hoping it can somehow take off as a side gig (ie slush fund)

Just make sure the yard is free of reptiles first.

Would you ever display a Holden?

And now she's making bank like a ****ing boss, I couldn't be prouder of her.

I will forever be convinced that she was taking a stand about the politics of breaking, and it getting into the Olympics via ballroom dancing... and then the stupid backlash against her performance in a sport that no one gives a shit about, or even knew existed, meant she couldn't come clean about it.

But now she's grabbing the bag without having to say anything new about it, and has become proper fun meme with NFL touchdown celebrations of the Raygun this past weekend.

She's a lifelong student somehow paid well then cheated her way into a taxpayer paid holiday. The position could and should have gone to someone with an ounce of talent. She is a disgrace tbh

No one GAF about breakdancing but she shouldn't be celebrated for being nothing. PHD in breakdancing, spell me

We had a python on our back fence about 20 years ago. No snakes before or since. It was during the drought, iirc. It was looking for water. It disappeared over the fence and when we got up on the ladder we saw it drinking from a plant pot saucer. After that it went on its way.

Hey, Straya!

Have you been to the Bradman museum in NSW.
Seeing your a cricket nut and all.

It's a beautiful museum - I went the a couple of years back as I was staying in Bowral for a few extra days following a family wedding

Even the entry tickets you get are awesome

Would you ever display a Holden?

No, not really.
No scope to add Vintage Holdens, semi modern only really liked the VL Walkinshaw commodores.
Reckon they looked better than the equivalent Falcons at the time.

Have driven them, owned a couple but display? Nah.

I've got a big blue tongue lizard that lives under my concrete pool.
Eats lots of my bugs but unfortunately never touches the red back spiders that always survive poisoning under the pool motor and power box
Hate those little ****ers

im hoping they swap the instantaneous gas to an instantaneous electric. then i can forget about gas bottles

at my own house, which i have tenants in, i expect a call at any moment regarding the gas hot watersystem as its 10 years old. when it goes, i will tell plumber to replace with instantaneous electric and the house will no longer need gas for anything

Depends on were the electric outleads are .

They told us our electricity bits were on the other side.
So just went the gas option.

Of course you can. An induction top would be a problem though.
