Kangaroos

It's cold today. It's sunny, but the high temperature is only in the mid-60s Fahrenheit. I would like a string of days in the mid-70s and mid-80s, but we haven't really had them yet. The pattern is two warm days followed by five cold. According to the forecast, it should be warm by Christmas, though.

Jonathan has a last half day of school tomorrow. We plan to spend our break checking out local beaches, whether or not the weather cooperates. I guess we'll just spend less time at the beach if the weather is uncooperative.



To close this (short) post, I offer you a few kangaroos. The first ones I saw in Creswick, Victoria, last week.

And a few more (zoom into the top right of the photo).

While in Canberra a few weeks ago, we stopped in a pharmacy and found the following, perfect Christmas gift for all the men in our lives. (Looking at you, Mal, Mark, Earl.)

Kangaroo essence for men. Each capsule contains extract equivalent to 300mg of Kangaroo meat. The Bio Island website advertises its kangaroo essence capsules by reminding us that: "The kangaroo is an animal that can be characterised by its strength, power and energy".

But in the end, we weren't sure if we could ship the capsules or not, quarantine laws being what they are, and so we did not get it. We only offer the photo.

Next Christmas, guys. Next Christmas.
