Browsing through the requirements for F to obtain permission for us to move to Oz as a family...not only do they want all financial details (not unusual), complete history of the relationship with statements from others and proof on paper (not unusual), they want you to include how the division of housework operates in your home life...as in who does what housework duties etc!! Hmmm, wonder if they send out a government official to your home if you move to check if the appropriate person is doing the right chores...or in our case, if they would have a problem with my doing 99.9% of them except in rare circumstances? Strange criteria for immigration requirements IMO. ..lol, especially as there are more than a few Aussie males who never lift a finger to do any housework!

waking to a text

Lunch with a friend by the sea

My shiny new vase

Spotting the most beautiful vivid pinks and orange disappearing over the tops of the houses in the street; I jumped in the car still in my pijamas and drove like a maniac to the bottom of the road just in time to see the sun set into the sea.
I laughed at how daft I was and how incredible it is to be able to do that.

*giggles* perhaps thats exactly the motive...only let in submissive women and ensure that F has aussie male potential!

This is all good news for me if/when I apply for residency!

LOL, well I am fairly sure moving to Oz is not a good idea for him but he doesn't want to know. Sheesh, just the 2 short times he has been there he suffered incredibly and that was in winter...spring and summer will be torture for him and he is not into being on the receiving end of torture.

OMG - just don't move him to Townsville or Darwin! Imagine how he'd handle the humidity!!! I'd be so jealous if you were to go home though. I miss it so much at times, especially my family & friends. Most of my memories are of Australia. If you make it, have a weekly sausage roll for me!..and Bowen Mangos!!

 

[kinkyknickers]

OOh what made me smile?

# It's my Friday.
# The sun is finally out after 22 days of rain.
# I'm having lunch with my best bud tomorrow.
# People I have been missing are coming home tomorrow.
# I can hear the waves crashing on the beach at the moment.


..... These are a few of my favourite things.....

You wouldn't believe it, I'm having our national symbol (Kangaroo, yup I'm in Aus) for dinner right now.

Meat is murder, tasty tasty muder!

Sometimes you can see what is coming from a mile away and life lets you enjoy the chuckle.

Oh, I could so easily go Roo shooting right now, field dress it & cook it up. You shoudl eat more lamb though - help population control in NZ!

 

[kinkyknickers]

Yes, I do feel like wrestling a sheep.

My Chef De cuisine (Yup, I'm a Chef , hehe) is from the land of the long white sheep and he kept calling out "Foosh" instead of "Fish" when he was calling orders at work yesterday.

I was in hysterics every time he said it and by the end of service I was a little unpopular with him for making fun of his ekksent.

sous Chefs are supposed to be subbies to their Chefs but I couldn't help it. Maybe I should've pushed him a bit further and he would have taken to me witha a wooden spoon.

That'd learn me!

Wouldn't work though, I'd only ask for more

Well, if he does take a wooden spoon to you ask for the spankings in sets of "seex"

 

[kinkyknickers]

Mwahahahahaha!

this girl licking my pussy when we got to my place a few hours ago she was no good at it it was like she never licked or had never been licked

Ditto. I miss it horribly at times, and yet the practical side of me keeps putting out all the valid reasons to not move back home. I think he thinks I am just roadblocking but realistically in many ways it is not IMHO a wise move to make and I genuinely think he would not take to it well given all his allergies and of course his hatred of any creepie crawiles. He was amazed when he came over for our marriage that there were so many insects and spiders and very little you could do to avoid them in or out of your home....that is not something I see him adapting to after seeing how he reacts to them in Europe...not to mention cane toads, snakes and lizards and his hatred of driving long distances (more than 20 minutes for work).

If we do, I will accept it and look at all the reasons I will be overjoyed to be back on home soil and close to my daughter and granddaughter again, but I am not ready to pack my bags (boxes and crates) again and say 'come on, let's go!!' without making sure he realises just what he could be getting into and that it is not quite so easy to change your mind and go back as it is to move around Europe.

Getting fully caught up in the sleep department. Plus, last night it rained. Now the whole city is washed clean. The air is crisp and cool with an aftertaste of spring rain and it felt wonderful on my face walking through the streets to work.

Lots of animal lovers around here to enjoy this story:

Balding penguin's wetsuit lets him swim again
Pierre's bare tush had kept him shivering on the sidelines as peers played

By Michelle Locke
updated 10:51 a.m. ET, Fri., April. 25, 2008

SAN FRANCISCO - What's black and white and warm all over? A penguin in a wetsuit, naturally. Sounds like a joke, but it's quite serious for biologists at the California Academy of Sciences, who had a wetsuit created for an African penguin to help him get back in the swim of things.

Pierre, a venerable 25 years old, was going bald, which left him with an embarrassingly exposed, pale pink behind.

Unlike marine mammals, which have a layer of blubber to keep them warm, penguins rely on their waterproof feathers. Without them, Pierre was unwilling to plunge into the academy's penguin tank and ended up shivering on the sidelines while his 19 peers played in the water.

"He was cold; he would shake," said Pam Schaller, a senior aquatic biologist at the academy.

Pierre's species of penguin is accustomed to temperate climates, unlike many of their cousins. The birds are nicknamed Jackass penguins because they make sounds similar to braying donkeys, quite startling the first time you hear it in an aquarium.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm. Then she got another idea: If wetsuits help humans frolic in the chilly Pacific, why not whip up one in a slightly smaller size?

Staff at Oceanic Worldwide, a supplier of dive gear based in San Leandro, were enthusiastic about making a real penguin suit.

"We were really excited to do it," said Teo Tertel, company marketing specialist. "We heard most of these penguins only live to 20, and our little buddy there was already 25. Anything we could do to help them, we were all for it."

Matching surf board?
Schaller conducted fittings to design the suit, which fastens with Velcro at the back, covers Pierre's torso and has small openings for his flippers.

"I would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps, and cut and refit and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely streamlined," she said.

One concern was that the other penguins would reject Pierre in his new duds, but in fact, they accepted his sleek new look.

Pierre was outfitted with the suit about six weeks ago. Since then, he has gained weight, grown back feathers on his hind parts and is again acting like his feisty, alpha-male self.

On a recent visit, Pierre waddled around the tank, taking brief dips and standing on a rock next to his mate. He blended in well, although he was the only penguin with a black tummy.

Schaller can't say for sure whether the wetsuit allowed Pierre to recover his fine feathers, but "certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been very difficult for him to stay comfortable."

With his plumage restored, Pierre is being weaned off the suit, taking more and more dips in the buff.

There are no plans to make him a matching surf board.
