MJ's little flock

Those look like the stoneware version of the ones @Shadrach showed us in terracotta. They look lovely.

Edited: Read ahead can't you?

Yes! Once i knew the risks wrt plastics breaking down and galv perishing, I started looking around for the types of water containers Shad uses, thinking the shipping from Spain or the UK was going to be costly. You can imagine my surprise when I found them at the local pottery! It seemed too good to be true so i called them up for a chat which convinced me to go take a look. And they're such good water bottles! I'm so pleased

I assume the lizard can KILL you. It is Australia after all.

Looks like it was a wonderful walk. Im glad.

They have a locking jaw so a blood poisoning outcome from a bite is within the realm of possibility

Love the colour!

Full on blue glaze!

Well, my dad didn’t get back to me on which recipe, so I took the one with the latest date. I don’t have the ability to print to PDF on a personal device and I’m too cheap to pay $10 a month for the service I’ll never (rarely) use. So here’s a screenshot. I hope it reads OK. Apparently they are crumpets, not a hybrid. But I remember him talking about them being like halfway between a crumpet snd an english muffin.

I'll give it a try in winter!

By the way, I found these nice stoneware water holders from Alabama. https://wisementrading.com/farm-and...ceramic-stoneware-watering-fountain-1-gallon/

I ordered a tea pet from China a month ago. It has been saying "departed country of origin" for 3 and 1/2 weeks now.

I know you are going to ask why I didn't get a chicken tea pet. It just seems a bit mean to pour hot tea over a chicken, but a water buffalo would like it.

My tea pet has arrived!

The tide was quite low.

We spotted a stumpy lizard. It doesn't look like much in this photo because it was hiding its face from us so we're looking at its tail.

Look at all that lovely fresh air, water and sandy expanse! No problem social distancing there MJ.

I couldn't work out what to look at in your lizard photo. Would a stumpy lizard be the same as a shingle back?

I was so impressed, I got two of the water bottles. They're made here in Adelaide at the pottery.

Oooh, blue! Can't wait to see them in action in the Funrun. I'd be interested in your review of them too MJ.
