animals and feet

just some misc pics and rambling because i don't have anything of substance.



view from our kitchen A FEROCIOUS LIZARD!!!1 i have a great movie of it attacking me too but i can't do movies unless someone offers free hosting (pls offer free hosting somebody ffs)



my feet; look at those lovely welly's! this is mini world's end, far better than the real thing in my opinion, to which i have never been.



ohhHH KITTENS! ohehoo! kittens! it's a bit fuzzy unfortunately. But then the kitten was a bit fuzzy.

i PASSED MY MOTORBIKE TEST

i PASSED my ACTUAL motorbike test!

what you do is, you go to a muddy bit of waste ground next to a bus stop with 50 other people all there for the test, and then you take turns to ride a terrible knackered old 50cc scooter VERY SLOWLY round in a figure of 8. and that's it!

actually it's really hard cos the ground is ankle deep in mud and the figure 8 is very small, and the bike is very knackered, and people keep walking across the waste ground because it's next to a BUS STOP FFS, AND you have to do it without putting a foot on the ground. one foot touches ground, FAIL!

so i was bricking it. i think all the other 50 people there were bricking it for me too, or at least were waiting to see the whitey fail miserably and/or go arse over tit in the mud.

but i did it! HA HA HA I DID IT! AHH HA HA HA!

then there was a bit when you had to follow a white van down the street, not too close, braking and indicating etc at the right moments. i did it absolutely perfectly. it did strike me that the van was behaving a bit strangely but nevertheless i was flawless in my following, i even looked like youre supposed to. i even adjusted the MIRRORS! then the van stopped and this bloke came out and said (i paraphrase): 'OMG WTF why are you following me fool, i am teh OTHER examiner'. bugger! didn't matter in the end though, probably because of my SKIN COLOUR (pink and brown, some skanky bits)

and the best thing? my examiner wasnt an examiner; he was an examinAR! i shouted SPIDAR DAWT CAWM in his face but he didn't laugh.



examinAR!

deniyaya

i completely forgot! i have been buggering about with other people's proofreadin so much i just forgot - we went to deniyaya, which is the other side of the forest and is also N006º21.894, E080º28.731, and it's kind of like kudawa really. hardly worth driving all that way or so i thought. but! there is a big river to get to the field station, the station is el reet and big and completely better than skanky old kudawa in every single way.

this is how you cross the river:



this is how we crossed the river:



and this is what we did in the river:



it's me! in the actual river! it was lovely and cold even though i had my pants on.
