Thank you!
Happy Billytea Day! May it be wondrous and filled with interesting and improbable animals.
I'm currently rewatching
Wild China,
so... yes! Witness, for instance, the hot spring snake, which lives a cold-blooded existence at an altitude of 4,500 metres on the Tibetan plateau, catching fish in geothermal springs.
Now we have hamsters the size of ping pong balls. Earlier we had bamboo bats, the size of bumblebees; they nest in hollow bamboo stalks.
And now the ice festival of Harbin. I would love to take Ryan to see that someday.
Happy birthday, billytea! Another couple of hours, right?
Happy birthday, dude!
So far, one cousin has forgotten her shirt. Not sure how we'll play that off, other than ditzy. Oops.
We spend today in town--we're going to dinner with people who can't make it out to Port Antonio on Saturday. So, fifteen strangers, late. I hope I'm up to it. And then crack of dawn tomorrow we drive out to paradise. I feel marginally bad I'm shirking cooking duties, but my credit card is out for supplies. I will contribute in a way that suits my limits.
Happy birthday, billytea!!
