We took the kids swimming at the Aquatic Centre last summer holidays. Needless to say, it was rather crowded.
After watching the clip below, my definition of ‘crowded’ needs adjusting

I’ve always been fascinated by Great White sharks, but have only just realised that Jaws is not the largest nor most dangerous water dwelling man-eater.

Enter the Crocodile.

Out of all wild predators who attack humans for food, the Saltwater and Nile Crocodiles are the most prolific and dangerous. Each year, hundreds of deadly attacks occur, mostly in Africa and Southeast [...]

I finished my latest DIY project this morning, and I must say I’m rather stoked with it!
A few months ago I scored a fish tank for next to nothing. The glass was badly scratched so it wasn’t much use as an aquarium, but has proved perfect for furry little rodents.

The pic says it all.

At least 18 4-day-old baby mice, all in the palm of one hand.

I don’t even know if they are all Zipporah’s either. It seems my other mouse ‘Noname’ may have been pregnant also. Anyway, they are both sharing the mothering role and are raising all eighteen as if they were their own.

So, if any of [...]

My boys are getting pet mice for Christmas. I reckon every boy should have a mouse at least once in his lifetime. When I was young I had a few, and then progressed to rats. It’s amazing how one can get attached to an animal so small (ask Paisley Jade what happened when one of my pet rats ‘got put [...]
