Goodness Gracious, great balls of fun!

Screams of joy or laughter? Can't hear 'em, don't care ;-)

Adelaide Ballzup is a lot of fun!  These giant globes of goodness are on the Torrens Lake in the school holidays, and the kids have done it twice now.  It's good value, and very, very entertaining to watch.  For $10 bucks the kids are zipped into the chambers, and they get five minutes of pretending to be hamsters while you get five minutes of peace and quiet (the balls are relatively sound proof, even better!).  When they get out they are yelling for more!

A new hen for my brood

Today I bought a chicken for 20 cents (Australian), my cheapest (cheepest?) one ever. She's a vintage, red wire hen egg-basket, with gorgeous flapping wings. She came from a local op shop (charity shop if you're in the UK, thrift store if you're in the States), and I saw an identical one on Etsy this evening for $15 US. I reckon I got a bargain!
