Transformers, ...robots in disguise.

Edmonton - Alberta Meteor (Canada)

Onlookers across the province of Alberta, Canada watched in awe , describing a kaleidoscope of colours as the meteor fell to earth last Thursday the 20th of November

This spectacular and dramatic event was captured on video camera by a local patrol car in the area. As the vehicle drives slowly through a built-up area, the meteor is clearly visible as a bright light appearing in the sky as it makes its lightning descent.

Monet and the Impressionists

The Art Gallery of NSW

The Monet and the Impressionists exhibition is in town all the way from Boston, USA until the 26th of January '09. And because the weather forecast wasn't that great last Saturday we paid it a visit at the Art Gallery of NSW. And while we were there we thought we might as well look at what else was on offer.

Monty Python's You Tube Channel

Monty Python:
"For 3 years you YouTubers have been ripping us off, taking tens of thousands of our videos and putting them on YouTube. Now the tables are turned. It's time for us to take matters into our own hands.

We know who you are, we know where you live and we could come after you in ways too horrible to tell............
But being the extraordinarily nice chaps we are, we've figured a better way to get our own back: We've launched our own Monty Python channel on YouTube."

The Huntsman in the Bedroom

It is great living in Australia and you don't always have to leave the comfort of your own home to see its wildlife. Saturday we had a lovely beetle crawling around the living room floor.

I think it might have been a Christmas Beetle, not sure.

Sunday, upon hanging up my bathrobe on the back of the master bedroom door, I spotted a Huntsman sitting between the doorframe and the wall. Absolutely no idea how long it had been there. Judging by the size of it quite some time...

Huntsman Spider

And upon releasing the Huntsman in the garden Caroline spotted a nice little skink basking on the patio.

Sculpture by the Sea 2008

How big is a T-Rex' brain?

Every year we look forward to Sculpture by the Sea. It's nice to be out and about and walk from Bondi to Tamarama enjoying the views and some nice pieces of art. Unfortunately it was really busy when we went last Sunday. The weather didn't help much either it was in the low 30s. To sum it all up, if you like to see nice sculptures and beautiful scenery, why wouldn't you want to go and see it?
