They think layers are just another type of cake. Us Floridians are a little more sharp as it is so hot now (all of the time) that the Icelandic weather would be a welcome relief with cool temps allowing us to go in shorts and shirt sleeves. No need for any heavy clothes, even though we bought both summer and winter clothes. Polar plunge anyone. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t need to share others joyful moments 😁 Just join in the conversation. Clearly they want everyone around them to participate. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we do have more venomou spiders. The most venomous is the Sydney funnel web spider. As a young lad I grew up in Sydney and there were lots of funnel webs in our garden. I used to catch them to take to North Sydney hospital so the could study the venom with the aim of producing an antivenom. It was finally perfected in 1981. Prior to that their were recorded just 13 deaths from these spiders venom. there have been none since 1981. So I am not afraid of spiders whereas Rojaan is. If there is a large spider in the house I will catch it and take it outside so it avoids a stomping. As for snakes, sharks and other dangerous critters you have them in North America as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted July 18, 2023 #71 Share Posted July 18, 2023 They had to be very careful when taking planes out of storage at Alice Springs after the pandemic as snakes had delighted in the wonderful homes provided by those planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
