This little craft offers joy flights over Port of Melbourne and Port Phillip.
I've never felt adventurous (or wealthy) enough to try it.

Back to what was my local park. It does change every season.



The Everready seems a puzzle as they became Energizer in 1992 when bought by the American company. They did keep the name as you said as they sell them online looking quite different, but haven't seen them in shops as Energizer seem to have rebranded them all there. But they indeed are still very much available online, which makes me wonder why I haven't seen the brand in shops since Energizer took them over, but they are widely available otherwise. Has anyone seen them in a British shop as I certainly haven't?

Eveready(no longer Everready) is very big in India, thats their biggest customer I think.

I don't know the answer about Eveready but I do know the Energizer bunny is useless.

I saw that as well when I did a search. They changed the name altogether for most places and changed the spelling where they kept it the same. That'll do a lot for product awareness...

Sweet Mollie! Love the pic. Love all of yours, too, szabs

Here's Precious, thinking about chasing Tigger off his own doorstep! She did it too, a moment or two later, cheeky kitten!

Today, I allowed aggressive thoughts to guide me....
"Hey, Old and Fragile - you're for the chop! You thin and puny ones - no-one wants you! You who are too left-leaning, I must exterminate. That goes for your extreme right chums too.
Scram, sucker!
And those who remain will now be drenched with foul smelling brew."




So once again my annual rose pruning is done.

Lol We had a typhoon in the area and the wind did mine for me
My poor mangoes are drooping and the big tree lost a huge branch.The roses look very sick.

Thanks Jake & Liz

What a place to have a cat nap!

That's a pretty contented-looking cat...

This is the road leading to the bottom of the road where I lived for 28 years, and my current optician is just over the main road from here which was why I was there myself.

I had a look for Eveready yesterday and found them for sale in my pound store, the packaging etc is red.

This is my new kitty



His name is Ben...I've had him for about a month and a half, now.

How lucky are you! He is just gorgeous!

Oh, he's adorable!

What a beautiful kitty!

From this morning's hike... This is the cornerstone of Shaw Butte Observatory, a Hohokam (Native American tribe) site from the 12th or 13th century. There are more petroglyphs on the stone in the right corner of the picture. It's a pretty interesting site -- found this on the Internet:

I want him!

Edit: Not the rock, the kitten!

The Pet Rock fad is over, eh?

Ren is correct. In some parts it has become the generic word for batteries.
