What a bunch of racist, mysoginistic, bigoted and dumb losers. I'm happy we scorn such muppets in Australia.😡

I've had a potbelly wood fire and later a slow combustible fire box. Even used a wood fired range working in Albany. All had flues and out the smoke went in hot air, thankfully drifting down into the valley of my Glen Forrest suburb in the hills above Perth. Getting wood delivered, paid for and...

My Snail shell's longest dimension is 8.5 cm, and it weighs 79 grams. 🐚

The meaning of Christmas seems a bit fluid to me. 🍺 The Christianity of it all seems to be on the back burner nowadays replaced by prawns, ham, beer and good cheer. That's fine by me. I like beer, ... 😃 ... and seafood ...

Agreed about getting hotter wearing long sleeves and pants in the heat Kram. Sometimes tho one should, like when gardening in the sun. I'm in the midst of a gardening project currently and often have to kneel or sit down, so old jeans, hat, tuff gloves and sun screen is a must but leaves me...

It might have been a Hermit crab Jessica. They are little crabs with a soft shell so they go and find an old bleached shell to make its home and armour. My two daughters were all into that sort of thing. Pets everywhere! I accidentally once sat and squashed a pet mouse sleeping behind a cushion...

Like a Magpie I've been picking up all sorts of things my whole life Thomas. I really can't say when or where I acquired my "Sea Snail" shell, due to my poor memory. Using Google's visual search I found the common name but there were a lot of names in Latin too.🙃 This is one of my best finds...

As above, it protected a marine creature.🐚

It is indeed a seashell Thomas! Bingo! Bleached by time and tide, it once protected a marine creature. Your turn.👏 This is mine:

I've seen some used as an ashtray but No, sorry, not an ashtray.

I worked outside for years as a junior surveyor Kram, rain, shine, scorching heat, especially in the Pilbara. I really hated the Kimberly with its humid and high temperatures. Flouro yellow clad outdoor workers here in WA are sun smart unlike I was 45 years ago. That's why I get an annual mole...

I've never had a fear of Heights or the Sea, but thanks to a cruel older sister holding me down under my bed's blankets I developed claustrophobia from the age of seven. It's not dreadful, just uncomfortable, when I'm in enclosed spaces.

You've had a hard year Jessica. May 2025 be a much better one.🤗

No, not a statue Zman. As mentioned as a hint before, it's not a man made item. Picking up the one on my shelf just now I measured it. Its longest dimension is 8.5 cm and it weighs 79 grams. Its inside is mostly hollow. It's also a pretty thing, like a statue. 🙂

Not a candle Jessica, sorry. 😕 the item is much harder than wax. My one is indeed in my living room, sitting atop a half wall.

Very cute but no chocolates Craig. As a hint, these items are not man made.

Like the Saints, time and tide has washed the sheen off these items. 🤔

Christmas for me is mostly hunting down presents for my two grandchildren whose numbers hopefully will be doubled by the following Xmas in 2025. I've had a torrid year in 2024 burying two old mates so I'm taking it easy, not even sending out Xmas cards but a generic e-mail. No decorations, no...

Mainly Calcium carbonate. 😁 Protection.😳

Oops again, sorry Craig. As a little hint, these items can be colourful but mostly are a paler shade of white.
