What a blog.... interesting to read about the different foods you can encounter on a  Langley’s Coaches coach tour. My favourite would have to be the scallop pies in Tasmania

Amen!

reblog if you:

- flinch away when someone touches you.

- panic when you accidentally break an object.

- get scared when someone walks behind you.

- feel your heart rate increase at every sudden noise.

- are easily panicked by slightly-louder-than-normal sounds.

- stare apprehensively at your bedroom doorway for hours at night.

- have trouble making eye contact with people.

- always feel either too mature or too immature for your age.

- simultaneously crave and be terrified of physical contact.

because i do all of these

Lush Australia utilises eggs for their products that require them from a true free-range egg business whose owners I am friends with in my hometown of Dubbo, NSW called Mother Clucker Eggs..... totes original name, I know. But it’s a very catchy name

Pro-Tip

I know most people associate LUSH Cosmetics with white girls and bath bombs but products from this beautiful company have faded my scars and stretch marks, completely gotten rid of my acne, fixed my dry skin problems, thickened my eyelashes, laid my edges, made my hair grow like crazy… I can go on and on. I’ve actually never tried the bath bombs, but their skincare and haircare products work magic.

The all new LDV T60 Ute - the first Chinese-built ute to receive the maximum five star ANCAP safety rating.

Priced to compete with the comparable Toyota Hilux SR5.... pricing for the SR5: Manual: $59,794 and Auto: $61,894 (both gearboxes in the Hilux SR5 are the same as the T60 - both 6 speed units)

Today’s update

Went for a ride on our Appaloosa today - he did so well! Have to admit I feel like I’m getting better and more stable when out....

Just gotta start working with him to get a bit of a better bond happening - I feel there’s a bond there but it’s gonna take a while to work the bond into the regime!

[josephhupp]

Happy birthday, gorgeous girl! Hope you had a great day

Guess who turned 25 today?

Caliban got a cake made out of ice that was promptly demolished by her daughter Nola and Bailey’s daughter Brighton :’)

So Cali and Bailey were just like “have fun, kids”

I love them so much.

[josephhupp]

Woohoo!

I spearheaded a training project to teach Cap’n the roseate spoonbill to fly up to our arms like our other spoonbills do. It took all winter, but he went from shying away from hands and being totally apprehensive to confidently flying up to me consistently. I’m so proud of him! It’s my first completed training project, and I couldn’t be more proud of this big pink goober. 💖🥄

Blood donation #3 in the bag (pardon the pun)  - holding that bag and those vials is so surreal.... knowing that’s your blood in them makes it worthwhile!

All it takes is one hour out of your day - that hour you take saves three lives! Call the Australian Red Cross Blood Service on 131495 or log onto http://www.donateblood.com.au/ to make an appointment

Bloody anti-caps are at it again.... I just wish they’d butt out of what they know nothing about

Radical anti-captivity folks: “I love animals! I am an Advocate for animals! Protect the animals!”

Also radical anti-captivity folks: “I think this animal would be better off dead than in human care tbh.”
