“Life In The So-Called Space Age”
KLS got me one of these for Christmas:
It’s a silly kit where you make a snowman out of low viscosity putty and then chuckle as he slowly ‘melts’. How effective is it? Here’s some photos taken at periodic intervals over about 24 hours:
It’s completely reusable and has given us enough of a laugh we’ll keep it around. For the price, a recommended toy 🙂
It was much cooler and overcast yesterday so I took advantage of the break in the heat and went to the zoo. It’d been four years since I last went and there were many changes.
That’s a red kangaroo! I bet you’ve never seen one of them on this blog before 🙂
That’s an (endangered) Bilby, which usually runs about like crazy and is difficult to see since it’s the nocturnal house. Happily this guy paused in the (only) spotlight long enough for me to get a great look at him.
As usual I particularly enjoyed the birds. There were a couple of walk-through aviaries and the birds were very active and even friendly.
Overall, two thumbs up and still as good a zoo as it has ever been.
Right now we’re getting ready to head to the airport to return home. I’m super tired and ready to go back, but at the same time dreading the trip.
I hope you enjoyed this trip blog.
We started yesterday at the currency museum in Sydney which is small but very good! Upon hearing about this place someone I know (Sue!) dismissed it as boring but it’s certainly worth the visit if you’re at all interested in currency.
We did the touristy stuff yesterday, including visiting the opera house, circular quay and a ferry to darling harbour.
Those photos are taken from the ferry!
That’s at the mall in darling harbour. Thanks to AW for the shot.
We played loads of magic at night, using our new ‘rare pile’ format, which was a great success.
