Last day of our trip to Oz last year, the biggest spider I've ever seen ran out from under my rucksack. I think it wasn't poisonous but it was large enough to b-b-q. Size of my hand.

I think it was a Huntsman - if you look over on the Oz forum, they often have piccys of spiders as it's a question that comes up often.

Not more personal training, hence the water, Ro?

Yeah it's sweet - think concentrated wine. I wouldn't say it is port-y but I don't really drink much of either so I'm probably not the best to say.

It's ok Butch baby, by drinking both ice wine and Kokannee you're neutralizing the effects of both. :D

Any chance of a cup of tea, knackered from treking around Toronto Zoo all day. Was bit disappointed, went to the Canadian section and did not see one single beaver.

Saw lots of Camels feet in another part of the zoo though.

Whats with all these trucks that people pull their kids around in. Some of them are so big their feet hang over the end, why can't they walk?????

It wasn't work that I really wanted to do, I really want to to IT Support so I did that as part of my normal job which was a glorified Data Entry Clerk.

Did those camel's feet have toes?

I went to the Calgary Zoo the other day and I didn't see any beavers either but that's ok at least I have my own pet beaver to amuse me. And she's not lock up in some pen either and free to come and go as she pleases.
