I’ve been reading a book of Australian stories and tales. In one section it talks about people who came up with innovations that helped people of the day have an easier life. One of these inventions was the ‘Coolgardie safe’, also...

I managed to get a photo of the four little guinea pigs. I cleaned out their hutch this morning and gave them new bedding so they are happy little pigs tonight. They are much more vocal than I imagined and squeak and chatter away...

What can you say about the India - Pakistan war? It seems escalating. Pakistan keeps on retaliating the attacks of India. Why can't they reconcile? They are already wasting too much money and witnessing blood scattering on the...

Just a bit of imagination on my part. I found this delightful picture online. I suppose a little verse can go with it:

Ptrikha_2 (@ptrikha_2) asked for a discussion about Australian cars.
In Australia, because of our vast distances and active lifestyles, utilities (pickups) and SUVs are popular choices.

Took my walk and went to see how the sunk boat is faring. It has been emptied out of rubbish, but is still full of water. I guess getting it afloat again is a bit of a poser. Certainly, I have no idea how to go about it. Still...

On my canal amble I saw this weird looking boat. I was fairly certain it used to be a lifeboat from a North Sea Oil Rig and a quick search online proved that was the case.
Normally bright orange these lifeboats/lifepods are sold...
