I am sooo bored i want to go home to my little blue house....cook up a storm and watch the weather change. chat to a friend, walk down the street in the middle of the day and eat a huge salad...my overwhelming though for the day but here is the real post












A bit of a creature feature today. Yet another bite from an unrecognisable mini monster. We have a jar at the ready. Catch him quick and take him to the lobby for a local to identify. ( of corse one of us stays with the child ). Sharp and furious this one was having a nice sleep in Noahs' Boardies . The rule of shake it out before you put it on applies here too.


He jumped sky high and later said "At first I thought I was totally over reacting to an ant bite."


In our villa we have seen
scorpians
gekkos
peying mantis
frogs
spiders
butterflies
dragon flies
moths
wasps ( why oil received the giant jam sandwich for his birthday)
birds


The joys of open air living and why the balinese clean heir homes from top to toe everyday. ( also why the bedrooms are closed off with heavy glass doors) Ant invasions are an amazing co ordinated feat. hundreds troop in. all in a lne to collect any dead or exposed insect. they can carry out the largest of bodies. 
Who needs tele when you can happen to see wasp vs gekko in your living room


In australia we are known for our creepy crawlies but it seems we are not alone. While we are not overly worried about these things we are aware. After today I think the shake and go policy will be remembered. Just as bali is paradise for people . Birds, insects & animals thrive here too.


poor noah I truly don't know what was worse the bite or me saying
 "lets look it up identify it" " 
"what is the english word" 
" why don't you write a story about it?"
