Hello,

My sister made Bombe Alaska on Saturday night - it was a wonderful success. It was quite a large thing for just five people, so we got one fifth of the cake each (obviously).

However, the interesting thing about the night was that mum made (attempted) some merignues with the left over egg white. She unfortunately left them in the oven too long, where I found them. The picture says everything. They collapsed, and in the autopsy I discovered they died by gas inhallation, which was highly suspicious since the oven was an electric one. I called Sherlock Holmes in on the case; he is yet to return his findings.

Hello,

I was watching the Discovery Channel, and this guy was called the "Thirsty Traveller." In the spirit of the Total Kitsch Tasmania Tour, it seems people in the Czech Republic also believe in the ethos of "drench your tastebuds." They were taking down pints of Pilsner like there was no tomorrow!!

Anyway, when we are back in Canberra, we must purchase some Pilsners, and 'drench our tastebuds' like the Czechs do it!!

Hello,

Madeline and I were driving down on the Hume to Melbourne, and we stopped at Tarcutta (Between Holbrook and Yass). At Tarcutta is this 'National Truck Drivers Memorial' which was actually pretty kitsch for a memorial. There was this old lady getting her picture taken who insisted that the photographer got Slim Dusty in the Picture. There was a gaggle of many old people.

Hello,

I was strolling yesterday, when I saw this swan sitting on a nest - I presume. It was down near that mini 'peninsula' that juts out of Sullivan's Creek near Ursula Hall. Sandro 

Hello, Madeline was in my room and she miraculously discovered the fulcrum point of her teaspoon over her mug. This photo is actually a recreation of the event. Sandro
 

Hello, Here is a lamp just outside Chifley library near that red sculpture. It's not to random, however, I thought I should start experimenting with 'artistic shots'.
 

Hello,

I cleaned (attempted to) the outside of my window the other day. I used a dirty handkerchief and cold water and it left a mark because I didn't rinse it. Next time I shall use a clean paper towel and warm, soapy water.

The light of the sun through it was 'pretty'.

Hello,

This spider I assume is dead. Or, it is hibernating on my ledge in the cold. In the case that it is hibernating, I assume that spiders don't do that, and therefore I've discovered a new species that hibernates.

Talking about spider's, yesterday morning Margaret Throsby was talking about one to Clive on the radio. I emailed her with a little story, and she emailed me back. So now I have her phone number and email!!!!
