I have been packing my case ready for the flight to Adelaide on Tuesday, trying to keep it light and not really sure what to take, still if I forget anything can always buy it 
The weather here was lovely for 3 days but today it has been raining hard nearly all day. We tried to start the car today and ended up with a fire underneath and now the handbrake is melted on from the fire so no car  We were trying to get to his mums for her birthday but she rang and said dont come out in this weather we would have gone if car had been ok. Will just have to start saving for another one and in the meantime it will be shank's pony well for Tony at least I wont miss the car till I get back.
Sundown our sheep comes knocking at the front door every day for his apple!!!!
Now for a few things you might not have known !!!!!!!!!
A rat can last longer without water than a camel. Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks or it will digest itself. The dot over the letter "i" is called a tittle. A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and
down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top. A female ferret will die if it goes into heat and cannot find a mate. Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying. A 2 X 4 is really 1-1/2" by 3-1/2". During the chariot scene in "Ben Hur," a small red car can be seen
in the distance (and Heston's wearing a watch). On average, 12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents daily!
(That explains a few mysteries....) Sherlock Holmes NEVER said, "Elementary, my dear Watson." Because metal was scarce, the Oscars given out during World War II were made of wood. The number of possible ways of playing the first four moves per
side in a game of chess is 318,979,564,000. There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with orange,
purple and silver. Astronauts are not allowed to eat beans before they go into space
because passing wind in a spacesuit damages them. The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin in World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo. Weatherman Willard Scott was the first Ronald McDonald. If one places a tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion, it will
instantly go mad and sting itself to death. (Who was the sadist who
discovered this??)
All until I get to Mum's

Earwigs (Order Dermaptera) are small bugs that got their name from the myth that they climb into people's ears and therein lay their eggs or tunnel into the brain. Earwigs also have two penises! Both are larger than it's body and it needs the second one just in case one of them snaps off! "It's an interesting phenomenon," says Mike Siva-Jothy of the University of Sheffield, UK. He thinks there must be some evolutionary advantage to the earwig's "unusually long" and fragile organs.
