Black Mambas are helping protect wildlife from poachers

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339552) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Dec

I read an interesting article recently about a group in South Africa called the Black Mambas. This is an all-female anti-poaching group that has been in operation since 2013. Operating in Olifants West in Greater Kruger National...

Inlemay there is nothing like seeing a Rhino for real - it moves swiftly and silently and can creep up to your car or campsite without warning. The Rhino Poaching in South Africa is off the charts and all for a few pennies in a local's hand. The BIG culprits are...

We need a new windscreen

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339552) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Jan

Two days ago when we were driving to see my sister, a stone hit our windscreen, chipping it quite badly. Apparently, if the chip is very slight, the professionals can fill the chip and repair it that way, rather than replacing...

But we are supposed to start warming up a little more now. It can't happen fast enough. Today and tomorrow is supposed to get in the 20s. That's a heat wave after the last few days. And the sun is shining again. That helps too....

Inlemay I love it when our animals curl up snuggly when it's cold - cold floors are not good for the dog's bones.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339552) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Jan

Will you accept a new flavor pizza?

youless @youless (112481) • Guangzhou, China 11 Oct 22

I think a foreign food will adjust to different places and then have the changes. I heard that the traditional pizza won't contain pineapple, but I have tried Hawaiian Pizza and there is pineapple on it. There is no problem for me...
