Don’t forget the plants. There are plants that will make you wish you were dead. Especially in Far North Queensland. 

Or to have their babies hatch on the ceiling of my bedroom as a kid, and have my dad say, oh, you’ll be right, and turn off the light and close the door (it was bedtime). 

This. Love to crunch a shrimp tail. 

This. I watched most of it, sound down, subtitles on (I can’t stand his voice), and it was very chilling and frightening.

Don’t diet. They don’t really work beyond the initial period of really sticking to it. And, honestly, if you are working out, eating healthy, it’s the best thing. We are not all meant to be stick insects, so not being a size 00 shouldn’t get you down.

*puts hand up* me.

I both love and hate you. Love you because you love the Windsors. Hate you because I came here to say that. Grrr.

I haven’t known you very long, but I like you. Weaponised food is always a plus.

I’m going to have to be that person, Gwen, and point out the typo.
