It's 33 degrees out, but Brop, the Green Tree Frog, is somewhere in the water trays of my carnivorous plants, making happy froggy noises.

And Brop knew what was coming. Lovely thunderstorm is here to break the back of 34 degrees and its steamy evening hangover.

A great clip from someone's VHS hoard! I'm trying to place the show it came from based on the graphics. Perhaps "The Noise" hosted by Annette Shun Wah on SBS?

EDIT: Ed himself reveals on the YT description, it's from the ABC's "Edge of the Wedge". Wow, music and TV really WERE better in the olden days!

I'll look for an opportunity to get a better shot of bub, because the blurry attempt is already soooo cute!

Went downstairs to check on Happy Hour,

but was first pleasantly surprised to find this little bugger who usually taunts me by hiding as soon as the camera appears.

An unfortunate drowning casualty from the spot where bees drink: a stingless "sugarbag" bee, one of the Tetragonula species.
