Shellfish is actually good for you



This is a tree that went down beside my neighbour's house during Sunday night's thunderstorm. She thinks it was a lightning strike. She called the town and they came immediately to 'repair' the tree. She actually asked them to cut the remaining branch off as she fears that the next time it will eventually fall on her fence. They told her they would have to call another department to assess the tree. I told her the tree has very deep roots and it should be ok, but she's not satisfied.

I saw this Stokke stroller in the mall yesterday. It's designed to bring your child closer to you. I just thought it had a really unusual look and wasn't sure what it was at first until I saw the child in there.

We have some trees here that are huge and the weather this summer has just wreaked havoc on them also. I hope things work out for your neighbor

There are buggies like that everywhere in Europe. We rarely see the big Cadillac-type strollers like in America. Also the strollers here are in dark colours as opposed to the pastels in the US. Interesting, no?

Interesting about shrimp! More har gow please!
