Now I can use this excuse for my belly—sign of a healthy digestive system. Lol.View attachment 5090773
In humans a "beer belly"may be a sign of a bit too much indulgence
, in koalas
a big round belly is the sign of a healthy koala.![]()
Due to the complex digestive system , which enables koalas to eat toxic eucalypt leaf, a healthy koala will have a very round
belly.![]()
If we find a koala with a not so round belly, that can just be one indication that something is wrong.![]()
Clearly Harry is one very well fed koala
P.S. from eagle: Koalas have an unusually long digestive tract so all the eucalyptus toxins are removed.
She has the prettiest face. If she’s in care at least she’ll be safe from bullies and wildfires, and have plenty to eat and drink.View attachment 5090987
The stunning Bonnie Blew, from Blewitt Springs, South Australia was rescued almost a week ago as she was sitting on the ground trying to drink from a sprinkler
. The caring residents thought Bonnie was just a tame koala
as she kept approaching them even when they were sitting around a fire
.![]()
A healthy wild koala will not approach human and will instead climb the nearest treewhen approached because that is where they feel safe
.![]()
Bonnie Blew was a little thin and dehydratedbut her initial test
have come back ok. She is still quite docile
which makes us a little concerned so will remain in care
with us for monitoring

You know, this could just be koala PR -- he has a big gut nevertheless, we can agree on that. Next thing you know he'll be smokin' leaf instead of eating it.Now I can use this excuse for my belly—sign of a healthy digestive system. Lol.

We might say Myrtle is "full of beans."
Sorry about duplicate picture.

Very happy koala mum with her joey. Or, a mischievous mum who looks like she just swallowed a canary who also happens to have a joey.

Ex Libris en Kimono?Look who came for an annual visit at our cottage this weekend. Mr. Hero (so named by our DDs). Sorry for the blurry pic. He took off so quickly, I barely had time to grab my phone.

I’m trying to remember a Hermes scarf design that I think has a crane(s), trees and an Asian flair. It came out about 5-6 years ago and was so popular.
Oh that’s gorgeous! I think I got my silks mixed up in my head. For some reason, I was picturing the Sieste au Paradis in my head with trees and cranes. Lol. Turns out there are only trees and sea shells, no crane. I should have gotten the Ex Libris en Kimono when it first came out though. It’s so beautiful. I have a feeling I’ll be checking out more CSGMs come this fall.Ex Libris en Kimono?
I wonder if you may want to check in the Oran sandals thread as they look like they’ll be similar in size? You can also try H customer service, they may be able to help.Hi Y'all, I am wondering if anyone knows the size increments of the Santorini. I am trying to decide if I need to size down by one or two sizes. So challenging without access to the store.Thank you!
I bought my Ex Libris En Kimono on the 2ndary market. I feel i got a pretty one. People glommed on to that scarf -- and also Sieste au Paradis. The colors were very intense on the latter and the partial (side only) borders of seashells were lovely. I can't remember if those two HS came out the same year or so but that was an inspired time for H.Oh that’s gorgeous! I think I got my silks mixed up in my head.

How are your sewing projects coming along, @eagle1002us? The other day I found 2 unfinished knitting projects from about 8 years ago that are still sitting hidden in the back of the closet when I was digging around looking for my summer flip flops. The heat wave just blew into town and it’s hot and muggy. I think we skipped spring altogether this year. As long as it doesn’t rain, I’m not complaining.![]()
