Gibbering Mouther

I talk a lot. An awful lot. Even when I have nothing at all to say, I usually say it.

To those that have known me for ever – have I always been a motor mouth? What did I say in my youth?

Here’s a video of what, perhaps, I am not. I highly recommend it (thanks Adam) because in so many ways it is a slice of Australiana 🙂

Envy

I got a new phone. A real phone (I used to have a prepay). An LG EnV to be precise

I really like it. It’s a lot less clunky that it may look, and I love the qwerty keyboard. The camera is also very good (2 megapixel) – here are some example shots:

My new plan includes infinite texting. So text away! My phone number has not changed, so use the old one. If you forget how to send me texts from your email account send me an email and I will remind you 🙂

Circle Of Life?

On our daily evening walk, we spotted something walking on the ground ahead of us. It looked momentarily like an enormous insect, or a weird frog. But then we realized it was a bat.

It stopped on the road, and I went right up to it and snapped a few photos (and took some video). It seemed to be in a bad state, and we guessed it didn’t have long to live. Up close it was remarkably cute, especially it’s tiny mousy face. When I got close it tucked it’s head down to the ground, as if to hide. I got very, very close (without touching) and saw it’s tiny black eyes looking at me.

It was terribly sad.

We left it there and continued on it’s way. Maybe shortly after we had gone it flew up to heaven?
