1st "Venomous Snake Catching Course" ...

13.05.
This morning I woke with a severe bladder problem - it was said, quickly, quickly, quickly! All day I had the feeling that I run every five minutes to the toilet needs - which was pretty annoying. During the day it became so bad that I could barely stand upright. So we went to the doctor - urine test done and the safety also can not send to the lab. The Doctor said it looks like a simple bladder infection, which should be resolved quickly with antibiotics. So back home, and armed with hot water bottle and blanket myself in front of the fire and "relaxed". Hopefully for me to feel better soon, but with a hot water bottle can sleep well anyway better in this fall weather. O)

Then, as I find it somewhat better, we made a fire in the garden to burn the underbrush and the trees that were not able to come through the summer. In the evening we went to Adelaide to Vanessa (friend of the family reported to have heard of her) to pick up. She stays over the weekend to attend courses at the venomous snake.

14.05.
had a very quiet day today, we have worked hard for it and made us comfortable in front of the fire. I've now started to write again - a "book". Since the work is now in the winter less - now it's off to the breeding time, when our snakes must have sex and thereby get quieter for us, but also just for us, o) - can I finally dedicate the things for which I am forever Muse no time or place. The content is not revealed and there's a reading test when it is ready. : O) Have's for writing and found the right place - so the muse really in "flush" is coming! Set me now accessible to the fire in the living room - Sometimes with a glass of wine ...

Sonia now has a "model" bought - is a torso, which helps you can sew clothes measure better. Now they want us - but especially me - even more tailored clothing. Akiko is now gone again. She was a very quiet unassuming guest.

15.05.
Our day started very early in the morning today so that we all papers, presentations and equipment prepared. Because today starts our two day course poisonous snakes. About 10 people have appeared to do so. First it went through a bit of theory - first aid, behavior of individual snakes, ... - and then it went into the reptile house to train with the poisonous snakes. In the evening we went

(Max, Sonia, Vanessa and I) then. First it went to the Sexpo Adelaide, which is probably more liberal than in Germany. "Meet your favorite Porn Stars up close" on the stage said the porn stars were not only naked but also very excited. Take pictures and touch (anywhere) was very welcome. And on another level, is trying a new Picasso. This was also naked and signed without brush! Or do we say so, he used his own nature "brush"! O)
When we got hungry, we went to the "British India" and enjoyed duck curry - very tasty. Strengthened up then to the club "Arkaba" the event "Latin Groove", where we met Nick, Vu and some friends of them. We could then end the evening with salsa.

16.05.
Today we held the second part of our poisonous snakes course. Theory and practice mixed, it was very exciting. And then when we went with equipment and snakes in the garden, were even the first nervous. Now it was serious. Now it was to catch venomous snakes. We shared our "apprentices" in two groups, leaving each free group is a snake. Armed with bag and hook, then everyone could try, the snake quickly, safely and with little stress to capture the snake again. Most fought very bravely. For me it was now the first time I caught a snake, but by the almost daily handling, I had no problems. Thus, I also have my "Venomous Snake Catching course" successfully completed. A further step in the right direction. Now I do if a poisonous snake crossed my path, they capture this for sure!

My first "burn-off" ...

02.05.
Today was a "burn-off (controlled burning) in the town of Meadows set in which I was of course. The weather was just right for it - hardly any wind, the sun, but not too warm ... We met at nine clock in the morning at the fire station, we dressed in addition to normal Fire equipment or with a mask and goggles, and then jumped in the truck. In Meadows arrived at the field (located on a hill summit), we saw over mountains and valleys of time in green-red-orange. A Kangaroo was hurriedly away when we moved into position. At such a place I will be once my house there ...: o)

The approximately 3-acre field was overgrown raspberry bushes, which we should now controlled burn. Since the field also extends over the hills, we excluded it in three parts. Area 1 went up the mountain, so we were (fire Echunga) on the top of the hill - as a backup to extinguish the fire and out again to To prevent extending unintentionally. At first we had real problems to light the fire. As Jared (one of our candidates) and I were standing at the fire hose, the fire started and then suddenly ran up the hill (fire burn faster up the hill than on level surface) and on us. This was a fascinating but frightening feeling. The flames were high - red black - the heat, the loud crackling, then the smoke. My heart began to beat! Idea that fire is now out of control, rolled over me, but Patty was so quiet, as if there no fire. After a large water load, the fire was tamed and conquered. I was impressed of the enormous power of fire. If a fire that burns under control, even as scary does, then I can only imagine it until no fire ...
Once we had burned the first two areas with no complications and cooled again, there was a BBQ, cold drinks and a breather. Then we made ran us to the third part. The area was smaller than part one and two, but as the changing weather conditions (sun, cloudless sky, warm), changed at the same time the focal condition. The third part was the only way up in flames, opaque white smoke came on and for a moment we were blind - the fire is still burning? Where is the escape route? Where's the front and where is the back? Then I heard behind me
a crackling, the smoke cleared and I saw behind us a little fire ("fire spot - spot = spot - caused by heat, a few meters or even kilometers from the original head of the fire). Because the grass was dry around, could the small fire quickly develop into a great and for us to danger. I tried Patty (at the time the hose) to call, so she turns around, but by the noise from the fire and from the pump at the truck, she could not hear me. So I jumped on the burning grass around until it was almost out. Then there was already a load of water under my feet by shot. Patty put out the fire then gänslich. Do not worry, the fire was under control! Spot fire now pass me, so be sure to always have his eyes on fire and behind a (hence a back-up squad a few meters behind the Delete Rupp)! Despite mask and goggles, I felt the lungs and eyes at the end of the day quite painful and I was super tired ...! A few days later I was tired / exhausted and had the feeling I can not sleep at night ... catch up! Still an incredibly good experience!

03.05.
storms and rains since last night here. I am frightened at least three times during the night of loud thunder high - felt my whole caravan wobbled. And to the strong wind, that's really uncomfortable! In between times the sun came through, but now it's raining and storming back. In the evening, after Yabbies - for himself pulen - was for dinner, we had a fire department meeting in Kangarilla (I love these place names) about driving rules in use at least four other fire departments. Meanwhile, the clock to 21, we got a bet - tree blocking road. I rode along to control the traffic - a car on my side of the road! : O) Was a very quiet night ...

My spider seems to enjoy the new empire. Grasshoppers and flies are quickly destroyed - unfortunately I still have the spider can not observe the hunting and eating, as this happens mostly at night in the dark and then light when I do, there's nothing more to see ... Maybe I have to experiment sometimes with red or black light ...? My spider is probably male (height 1.5 cm), so I am now seeking a male spider's name. I am very excited about proposals. I beg to take it seriously: o)

Since 04.05. We have another new WWOOF - Steve from England, very young. Unfortunately, the folds relaxed working with him not so. He forgets every morning, where the work utensils are when he is finished with a thesis, everything will be placed somewhere else (so have we find the great room or behind) and if you give him a task, he turns first ten minutes helplessly in circles to start without ... Fortunately, he travels on Monday!

My Salsa time on Wednesday (05.05.) In the Level 2 course was super exciting. We not only learned the basic steps and a turn ... we learned a whole combination of steps, turns and course changes. In addition, the men were a bit more dancing talent and knew what they were doing ...! John (Italo-Australian, trying his hand as bachata teacher) took me into his golden cars (because my car's do not care, I know it is a mark) with the club, I this time with the Bus was there. Sleek, fast, and probably offset some of the car ...! O)
Once in the club, then there was the Wednesday-Bachata-hour with John as a teacher. I had an Asian dance partner - less than I - who was staring at me the whole time dancing on the breasts! He had an inappropriate size, but that is no excuse! : O)
I danced a few rounds of Salsa and Bachata - this time with the dance teachers to get even better! Johan (Malay / austr. Dance teacher) spun me around only pretending. No idea what he was, much as I did with the legs, feet or shoulders, but when I saw behaved like water, which (I think) not that runs out!

06.05.
What a work! So it can be like every day - shopping, coffee, shopping, eating ...! * Lol *
After we had packed a few reptiles to send it to Sonia and Steve went to Stirling to shopping (I love these days lol) and drink coffee. Then it was on to Adelaide. A quick snack at the "Noodle Kingdom" and then off to underwear shopping with Sonia. Later we met for a hot chocolate with Max, before it then went to eat sushi. Somehow we had to get around the time yes, because we had to wait until we could pick up our new reptile from the airport - approximately 15 Baby's Death Adder and about 10 baby tiger snakes!

08.05.
last weekend! Although the work is not overly demanding, I am always glad of being able to sleep. Clock rise seven, I find it still extremely difficult. But fortunately I have no 'drive to work ...!
After I started my morning quite comfortable, I started to walk (the weather was super nice, sunny, blue sky, warm) on the way to my 10 minutes from Salon - Eyelash. With music to the ears and the view over the mountains / hills, I enjoyed the small fall-spatziergang. When I stumbled over a stick the way and I almost long wondered I found out even that you can jump on a song when you shake the iPod! * Laughs *
As a reward for the movement, I allowed myself on the way back, an ice cream.
made then I am on, to Adelaide - shopping (I know it sounds like I'm constantly shopping at, but I buy so not every time something ...) As I walked through the Rundle Mall (shopping street) walking, I met suddenly Laura (my former English Wwoofer'in) and some of her friends - a Frenchman and two guys from Hong Kong. We sat in a pub, a beer, coffee and some news.
For dinner I was with friends (Jorge / Antoine / Irene - NL) invited. There was pizza and a few movies ...

12.05.
We have another new Wwooferin - Akiko from Japan. It is from their behavior as Kanako - shy and reserved, but they can tackle good!

my first Australian pet ...

! NEW PICS UPLOADED!


04/26/2010
Today I prepared my Caravan - inside cleaned up, cleaned, unpacked, set up and covered the roof in the rain so that I no longer have the feeling I'm sitting in a tin can! Later I a "Badge Huntsman spider (more info available here) found . Sure, normally I would - just for the reason that I find disgusting - run away as far as possible. This spider is something very special. When I found I was looking at a face with many legs, then she turned on her stomach and she had suddenly have a face! What paint for a brilliant trick of nature, the spider a second face on the butt! As the hunter thinks just "Did I!" And becomes the hunted themselves in the next second!
I think since I can, under a strong spider phobia suffer and they would like to fight (especially now that I live surrounded by nature of Australia and guaranteed daily encounter spiders), I decided to keep the spider as a "pet" in a fair, transparent box. Since I started with cockroaches and other reptiles (as feed) must work, I am super used to it quickly and have no more problems, to touch them. This "project" I hope to fight the spider phobia. The spider (a name she has not yet, because I could find no sex) now lives in one, ADAPTED with love, box and gets alternately grasshoppers and cockroaches served ... images are uploaded, and yes, it really is as great as they appear in the pictures. This also has a practical reason - then see at least I always know that you are really still in the box, without having to open them ... * * iiihhhhhh

27.04.
this morning had something to do Sonia and I both do not feel like anything. We looked at each other and cried simultaneously, "Coffee?" This is the keyword for it to jump into the car to drive to Hahndorf and enjoy a coffee! No sooner said than done ...: o) was also
Sandra (our new French Wwooferin) morning by bus in Hahndorf, and we joined the beautiful with the useful!

Then a long work afternoon / evening, was on the program. We had to pack 25 poisonous snakes in cloth bags, as Sonia and Max had to rise early next morning with the snakes on the plane to fly to the Outback for their course. For me it was the same again a good exercise to keep me on my course in May to prepare (as frightening as the very near future is!) - We worked with Tiger Snakes, Mulga Snakes, Eastern / Common Brown Snakes, Western Brown Snakes, Red- Bellied Black Snakes,
... After work, there's pizza and a movie to relax. Of course I was not in the caravan, without a glance in the box (to verify that the spider is still there and, above all, alive - she wants to kill not do so) to throw. Let's see how long this phase-control continues! : O)

28.04.
The weather right now really shows us that we fall. It stormed and rained all day. Today I drove for the first time alone by car to Adelaide to Salsa hour. The rain, the darkness and the many difficult turns, the ride dramatically. In addition, the car has a gear that I use with links have (which I occasionally forgot lapsed into old habits, wanted to use my right hand and they rammed it into the driver's door!) However, I have the trip went well and thus a check on my "Australia experience" list as "in a big city myself driving a car" set. After

my salsa hour - the asked me still not really - I spoke with the dance teachers that I like next week will begin with Level 2. After a trial dance with Johan (our Malaysian-Australian dance teacher) and his commentary, the dance steps were perfect, I can go a level higher next week ...! Then it went again - like every Wednesday - in the club "Caledonian". This time I was a little early there, so I got to the free dance lesson bachata, the John (Italo-Australian) is here every Wednesday at the club. A few basic steps, a turn - not much but something.

29.04.
Work Sandra is very good. It is not the fastest, but working on it willingly. We managed a few extra tasks such as feeding the Boigas Assist and injections of a snake.

01.05.
After work, I took Sandra to Hahndorf, as it now leaves us again. As we walked through the streets, we encountered a band (German swaying music), but every time we / I went turn over / ran, stopped the band and after the fourth time, they even packed up. I could only shoot a photo as it really did break ... Someone or something wanted to spare me comfortable with swaying music ...! * Lol *

How To Remove Formaldehyde

"Swing dancing" or at "Salsa"?

on 17/04/2010 went there with Laura and Claus first to Hahndorf to enjoy a "German" food - sauerkraut and smoked Yammy. In order to get rid of the pounds, we made ourselves then in the Belair National Park, where we met with koalas and kangaroos.

the evening went to Claus, Vu and Kylie (a friend of Vu) in the salsa bar of the Hotel Embassy. This bar had just reopened, was the visit - even if he was free - but not worth it. Salsa Salsa Bar without music? So we went on then to a real salsa club to be identified. And while we were walking through the city, I mentioned that I would like to go to a karaoke bar - of course only to look to others while singing! Da Vu and Kylie go fairly regularly to the lyrics, they dragged me directly in the next, called "La Sing". A karaoke restaurant, well filled with singing happy (talented and less talented) people. And since my friends tell me not to have sung on stage without once again wanted to be home, I did my best with the song "Sail Away" by David Grey .

I only clock about half past four in the morning fell into bed, I was not before a clock in the afternoon at 18.04. on. Was also Sunday! Unfortunately, Laura has now left again. She has received an offer for shearing sheep and wanted to Experience to take you! Must admit, yes, that would irritate me too ...

Claus and I, we then opened again to the Belair National Park, to the - to find waterfall - on cards given. Again we met a few koalas, but we found a waterfall on it - we found the case, but without water! The rain we had the last few days, then probably not enough of it. So we stood at the abyss and placed before us, we stood in the raging current of the river ...

The next week I have again worked a lot with the poisonous snakes / trained. Much time is no more, until my first course ... Even the "sexing" I was able to return to a Woma Python practice ... and I was right again. It's not that difficult if you have the first few times made!
And besides working with the reptiles, I filled my evenings with a few extra activities.
Monday was CFS Training (Fire Department),
Tuesday, I've taken in Adelaide teaching and Swing Dancing tried (which is nothing for me, too much conversation Inge, too little elegance!), Then it went with Nick to go home to Vu, to sing karaoke (which was frankly hilarious - Italians increase so much in songs ... pure),
went on Wednesday it to my salsa lesson in Adelaide and then in the Salsa Club "Calledonien" where I learned to include more salsa steps, as in my lesson and against a clock in the morning we still got a Zouk-hour.

the Thursday (22.04.) Began, we (family, Claus and I) with a long breakfast and then a shopping trip to Mt Barker and Hahndorf. In Hahn's village was then Sushi and chicken teriyaki lunch bento. As far as I enjoyed the day - very relaxing ... In the afternoon, Sonia told me that we should be dressing the caravan nice for me - Remove stress, sew curtains ... So I can set me up really. I have not thought about it yet, but even though I knew I would stay here any longer, I live still out of my backpack! Today I finally unpacked my suitcase and I set up here in the caravan! Strange feeling, another "home", to ...! Sonia and Max end of next week for six days to travel into the outback. Type two-catching poisonous snakes courses. In time, the responsibility for our animals in my hands - to put it to Sonia's words "... in good hands ...": o)

The beginning of autumn in Australia is super nice. The leaves turn to red and remain red when they have fallen from the trees. To this end, the sun shines and it is pleasantly warm. May remain fond of it.

04/23/2010
has now left us today and Claus. He travels to apply for one to two months to the East Coast to friends before he must return to Denmark. We had a long conversation before he left. His anxiety to get to Denmark to have to back and no second chance to come back to Australia, I can understand! After he is now rumgereist so long, he must now return to a life that he had been left behind. ... Scary!

to 21 clock I was then arranged to meet in the city with a few friends from the salsa Wednesday - of course, dance to salsa! First we met at Virginie (French), Antoine (French) and Jorge - pronounced "Hochhee" - much as with och h - (Mexican) with a few other friends of them, before it went to an Indonesian club. The music and the atmosphere (the few women who were there were veiled) I did not like really, so I move on to the others talked. We ended up in the "Casa-Bla-Bla, where we were finally able to dance salsa.

there went no more buses back, I stayed overnight at the home of three. And when I came the next morning in the kitchen, Jorge just cooked breakfast for all (scrambled eggs, onions, tomatoes, cheese, ham on toast). Then It went into a gym where the guys had a training game. I should play well, but was too tired from last night of dancing ... After the game, it went back into the apartment. We made our pizza, and while the oven was sizzling, I was running again quickly to IGA to get to popcorn and TimTams (special super delicious chocolate bar). Antoine prepared the projector for a few films. When I came back from the IGA, all greeted me with "There you are!" They thought I had lost my way, were concerned and wanted to call me straight. (How sweet!)

After one or two movies, we got ready for a Farwell party of a friend (you will go for a while to go to Brazil). I knew the girl does not, but was still invited. Everyone was super nice (around 25 people) and how it seemed, had any other nationality. Of course I never asked where everyone comes from originally, but that was certainly the nationality Helpful Party in my life! * Lol * At midnight we went to the Salsa Club Casa Bla-Bla. While we were standing in line, Jorge practiced with me a few dance steps. And promptly got applause! Because he knew the girl at the entrance, we were free in and we were hardly there, we even swung a leg tirelessly and without pause. Since both, but especially Jorge, super were able to have good people around us were amazed not bad, as we explained a hot bed (God, I really just wrote it? Sounds so old fashioned does not matter ...)

Back in Echunga, I met Max's cousin and her friend know . They were from overseas (England) here and travel through the country. On Sunday evening (25.04.) I then skyping with the family. All times to be seen again did really well! * Did you love *
