! 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

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)

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.

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 *
