Cleaning the fridge from top to bottom today. I pulled all the shelves and crispers out and am half way through but giving it a rest from keeping the door open for awhile. Amazing what you miss in there that should get tossed.

The prob with fridges are they are too deep, and things get buried at the back, . I would prefer a very shallow fridge for every day stuff and a small deep one for legs of ham and lager things you may want to put in periodically

They keep advertising some stupid show on the tv. I feel like breaking the tv every time I hear it. I'll NEVER watch it no matter what. The Masked Singer.

If you're into popular music, it's not bad. In America, the singers are sometime Motown greats or classic rock or country singers. I lost interest after a few episodes, but was entertained at times. Not all contestants are professional singers. Wayne Brady won one season. (from Whose Line Is It Anyway) I'd watch it again, but I refuse to "schedule" time in front of the TV. If I turn the TV on and I like what I see, fine. Otherwise, I just leave the TV off. I only got cable for the 200M internet.

I just can't stand the ad. They run it constantly and it's extremely irritating.

I have a new friend. Every time I go outside he swoops in out of nowhere. He sits on the outdoor table next to me and wants food. I know I shouldn't feed him but I've been giving him small amounts of chicken.

Kookaburras aren't exactly small. Here is the "laugh" they are known for.

Kookaburras are terrestrial tree kingfishers of the genus Dacelo native to Australia and New Guinea, which grow to between 28 and 42 cm (11 and 17 in) in length and weigh around 300 g (11 oz). The name is a loanword from Wiradjuri guuguubarra, onomatopoeic of its call. The loud, distinctive call of the laughing kookaburra is widely used as a stock sound effect in situations that involve an Australian bush setting or tropical jungle, especially in older movies.

They are found in habitats ranging from humid forest to arid savanna, as well as in suburban areas with tall trees or near running water. Though they belong to the larger group known as "kingfishers", kookaburras are not closely associated with water.[2]
