The Austrralian lyre bird can imitate the sound of pretty much anything.. camera shutters, chainsaws, kookaburras…

The bird would win all the talent shows.

more summer in Australia horror…

# of giant flying bush cockroaches smashed in my house with a shoe several times (those fuckers take at least 3 hits to die) since I arrived home one hour ago?

11.

ELEVEN.

It’s like a horror movie here.  They are flinging themselves at the flyscreen trying to get in.

Halp?

Edit:  make that THIRTEEN.  Fuck.

I can see the Perth AND Fremantle fireworks from my front porch.

Also, lightning.   Woo.

We’ve gone from a nightmarish, sunny 42C, to a 14 degree drop in temperature with thunder and lightning in a couple of hours. I no complain! I just caught the sunset from my porch a few minutes ago.

My temperature gauge says it’s 36C inside my house

Kill me now.

This is the forecast for Perth from tomorrow onwards.  As I type it’s 38C (100F) at 5.30pm. Surely this will break all kinds of records.   Did I mention I work from home and my house is not airconditioned? I might die. :-(

A few snaps I took at the beach today… 

It’s Australia Day next week.  Basically an excuse for bogans to get drunk and let their bigoted, misguided “patriotism” run free.  You can just see the life size inflatable kangaroo in the back of the ute….

How did we go from that beautiful and crazy thunderstorm this morning in which 4 people were struck by lightning and roads were flooded to a sunny 36C day by midday?
