What are you reading? Any recommendations?

'Australia's Dangerous Creatures'

A heavy 368 page hardback tome with the reassuring sub-heading: 'Understand ~ Identify ~ Avoid ~ Survive'.

Extravagantly illustrated with colour plates of just about every animal and plant of land, river and sea in the whole bloody country and thoughtfully including an appendix entitled: 'Techniques to save a life'; severe wounding and shock, poisonings, snakebites, other venomous bites and stings.

A real page turner.

Well I guess you have to be here.

Be there! After your glowing description I'd have to be starkers. No thanks.

"That and the absolutely disgusting weather we are having at the moment is
entirely sapping my will to live.
Wednesday was the hottest day we've had since we moved to Australia.
Stinking, fetid, super-heated air is coming straight down over PNG in a
constant stream all the way fromt he equator. 38C in the shade and 96%
humidity. And there's no shade. I'm sure the air has been used several times
before we get it."
