   tv is a much safer enviorement to observe nature(esspecially with a hangover)
   keep it real in the mountains home boy

   Notoriously idiotic when it comes to directions. Mummy mongoose has the map upside down and Daddy mongoose refuses to ask for directions…

   Go to the photo – click on ‘all sizes’ (in tiny letters on the top of the photo) then click on ‘Original (1280×768)’ then wait….
   Then click on ‘Download the original size’.
   Am I typing this slowly enough for you?

    It’s pretty cold here at 24C in the wee hours of the morning.

    How come I don’t get to see none of that pretty dewy pearly things on the leaves?

    

    Best holiday wishes to you, P.

    Thank you kindly LL and the same to you. Sorry to hear that it’s so chilly – maybe an extra bikini or sarong would help?
