Tagged !

I can’t say I have ever been ‘tagged’ before but MBB has ‘tagged’ me tonight – can’t say I really understand but I am assuming it’s kinda like those pesky chain emails – you know the ones where your world will cave in if you don’t forward it on to 5492 of your closest friends within a nano-second of receiving it.

Anyhoo …… I can play along so here it goes –

An interesting animal I had -
I used to collect lizards when I was a kid – little skinks mainly because they couldn’t bite hard ! :-) I had a fish tank that worked really well to keep them in but I decided to take them to school one day and made a little home for them in an old plastic Avon perfume box which would have been perfect except I forgot to put air holes in it so that was ultimately unsuccessful !!

An interesting animal I ate -
Do snails count as an animal ? Other than that, the strangest would be roo and croc,

An interesting thing I did with or to an animal -
We had a labby when I was a kid and I used to drag her up quite a lot – a hint of things to come maybe ??

An interesting animal at the museum -
Ummmmmm

An interesting animal in its natural habitat -
Monkeys, because they have no shame at all – if they want a wank they just go for it lol.

Off topic but the vids below are for MBB - taken at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo.



So … that’s the obligatory bit out of the way. As MBB pointed out, I have to get my arse into gear and update this and she’s right …… hmmm, that left a bad taste in my mouth!!! Anyway, what is likely to happen from here is that the posts will probably be a bit sporadic (shock) until we head overseas, although I will get Paris done before then!! Instead of quietening down, work has just become more insane and there are a few big challenges to get past before I go away..... and on top of it I am trying to pack up so that I can move in about a month so the mental capacity is a wee bit drained at the moment.

The accommodation thing has sorted itself out though – BJ has bough a new apartment and I am going to move there after we get back from OS. The goal though is to be out of this place by about November 10 so that Sis and I have 2 weeks to get the place cleaned etc – not that it’s THAT much of a mess, we just don’t want the hassle of having to rush to get it done.

With so much happening at work at the moment and so much to get organised here I want the whole thing to go as smoothly as possible and have the luxury of not having to rush or stress about it. What it means though is doing a huge amount of purging – going from a house to an apartment is the perfect trigger to get rid of a lot of useless crap.

Everything is pretty organised already actually and if I had to I could move tomorrow !

Anyway – more about that in a few days.
