Spider, oh my gosh, in my bed, i freaked out so much! ok, yes it was tiny, but down here they are not "safe" spider's like in england. it's all good though, i keep the insecticide right next to my hand now!

Which is also useful for the mossies.i have decided mosquitoes are the scum of the earth, and i swear the bite are more painful here! You never know how blessed you are to be in one place, then when you leave it. sure england was cold,  but at least it doesn't have the evil mosquitoes!

i keep the insecticide right next to my hand now!

Oh, if the spider's and mossies weren't enough, they have giant biting ants too, and thats just in the suburbs. i dread to think what i'll find out in the bush or up north.

I tried the my 2nd australian institution yesterday - Milo. It's very nice, hot chocolate, with a tiny bit of a malty flavor.
