You are WONDERFUL!!! That is such fantastic news , though there is no way I will be heading over to Europe now...not with even a hint of Robin coming over here! Should it happen, I promise to attend and take photos for my new Italian friends!!

I have shared the news (hope you don't mind) and have credited you for the find !

It should be great, thanks!
It's a pleasure to see you so happy. I'll keep my fingers crossed in hope that Robin will really come to Queensland.

Oh, you're too kind, really!

We know, we know!
She's our best source of information! Better than CIA and KGB combined...

I haven't answered your questions yet! I'm terribly absent-minded, am not I?

I've always been astonished by the unique features of Australian fauna. I really love animals (I'm obsessed, in truth ^^), so pictures of kangaroos, koala bears, emus, wombats make my eyes shine with delight.

Well, you may be even more interested to discover that I'm one of the oldest student at the oldest university in the western world! More seriously, the University of Bologna was founded in 1088 and it's a great cultural centre, rich in history and art treasures. I study Astronomy, but I'm behind with the exams... I hope to close the gap as soon as possible!

Yes, please, I'd love that!!!

Let's not exaggerate! Any Fool who is also a Prophet knows lots of things about anything...

You're too modest, that's what you are!

After reading Robin's wonderful books, an obsession is something I can all-of-a-sudden completely understand! I'll see what animals I can find in my piles of photos. Should I post some photos here in this thread, or in the 'Album' section only?

(15-01-2011, 01:36)The Fool Ha scritto:  I'm one of the oldest student at the oldest university in the western world!

I'm sure that's not true! Going on the photos of you, I am sure that I am far older than you, and I plan to persue mature-aged university study one day not too far away!

(15-01-2011, 01:36)The Fool Ha scritto:  I study Astronomy

That's amazing! I have always been interested in the field of astronomy (isn't everyone?! ). What are your plans for when you complete your studies?

When he was a young boy, my eldest son begged my husband and I to move to the US so that he could be an astronaut when he grew up (you have to be a citizen of the US to be eligible apparently). Thankfully he got over that and has chosen to study aerospace avionics instead!

The Fool has certainly proved her prophetic talents to me!

I'm looking forward to seeing them! You should post your photos in this thread because the "Album" is managed only by Admins; someday we could create an Album folder for all our foreign friends, in my opinion it would be nice! ^^

I look like much younger than I am! People always think I'm about 22 years old, but in truth I'm 30

This would be great! What field of study?

They're very simple I'd like to be a teacher because teaching is one of the things I can do better. I am a lazy student, but luckily a clear and patient teacher. ^^

I don't know how to use Photobucket (yet) and also don't have very many photos currently online elsewhere, but I will try to get some better ones to you all soon. Here's a taste though:



A look at our homestead from the air. It was taken back in Dec 2008, before rain finally turned the land from brown to green!



The grassy, rolling plains of our downs country (as you can see, there are not many trees!!).



Some cattle



A camel



Me!

What a lovely photo of you, Farseer!
And what about your homestead? There aren't many trees, that's true, but wow... all that green grass is beautiful! By the way, I didn't imagine you have camels in the surroundings: how many are there?!?


PS: If not Photobucket, you could use ImageShack. It's very simple and there's no need to create an account. Just upload on ImageShack your image and then, when the upload is successful, copy directly the link named "Forum Thumbnail" (with the square brackets) in this thread. In this way you could not worry about the size of photos and post many of them in a single message! ^^

Your place is wonderful!
I love your photos, Annette! Thank you to have shared them with us
