I would like some curried strawberries on brown rice with a selection of seasonal vegetables please Bacon. And a large strawberry daiquiri. I don't care who you have to steal the strawberries from.

Parts of the VCE exams were leaked this year as you could see some of the questions by highlighting the cover pages. I wonder if someone working at VCAA did that on purpose to see how long it would take for someone to find it.

Iโ€™m wondering if itโ€™s very smart to be feeding the magpies and encouraging them around with bird flu going on. Especially with an elderly cat. I canโ€™t find much about the situation in Australia.

I shouldnโ€™t worry but I see theyโ€™ve been dropping feathers and pooping in the back yard, and if I tracked something in and gave Melbcat a treat off the floorโ€ฆ Normally I remove my shoes at the door but my guests donโ€™t. And Iโ€™ve been a bit slack myself sometimes.

Iโ€™ve said it before and Iโ€™ll say it again, carpet is gross.

Edit: I still havenโ€™t decided if itโ€™s ok to provide water in Summer. I would but youโ€™re meant to be cleaning it frequently at the best of times and Iโ€™m not able to manage. There is water they can get elsewhere.

Bird flu (H1N5) is not yet in Australia and you'll know when it is because it's not gonna be great for our wildlife - it will hit chickens or migratory species first though, IM O. And magpies are 'catholic' feeders; as long as you aren't going overboard or being silly and feeding them rubbish they will be fine with a little treat. And good enough hygiene is ok - even with your and Melbcat's health concerns.

Can lightning strike - yes. Are you significantly increasing that risk by carefully connecting with wildlife - no.

I put out water on a hot day but when it's not summer there's tons around.

source: I'm not a biologist but I work with and hang out with birdos. Also have experience living with immunocompromised peeps so I do understand

TV review part 2 Pokerface. In the final episodes Charlie's pursuers finally catch up with her. She saves herself , helps save some others from organised crime, solves a mystery or two and makes a friend in the fbi.

I'm really looking forward to series 2. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
