@eagle1002us I saw this article and immediately thought of you. This sweet little female Koala snuck into a house in Adelaide and climbed into a family’s Christmas tree. She was apparently hungry because she was chewing on the tree. I‘m sure she was disappointed because the tree was fake! Well, this adorable girl made me smile.
Edit: I just noticed that you just posted the article as I was posting this picture!

Chewing on the tree! I did not know that. Wow, maybe everywhere people should put candy canes on trees so wandering koalas can have something to eat. This is a nice clear large picture. Thank you haute okole!

#1300KOALAZ Eddie is now communicating through his Teddy. His Teddy has been named “Eddie’s Teddy” as he has grown quite fond to it.
Eddie takes Eddies Teddy with him most places....to the shelf....to the lawn for a run around.....to the tree......to drink his milk.......to eat some leaf......Eddie’s Teddy goes just about anywhere that you can think of.
Eddie is utterly adorable and is an absolute dream to care for. We think Eddie is just a tad bit handsome too

If you see a sick injured or orphaned koala please call 1300KOALAZ. 24/7

It is a Togo Bleu Encre. I LOVE LOVE your pictures. It makes me want to snuggle them. I was heartbroken about the little Joey who passed. I am such a sucker for the injured animals from the fire. Thank you so much for posting them. Your posts are the little things that make me happy during this pandemic. Thank you.

This weekend I spent time reading book reviews of "The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro. This was a flashback to the interim period between WW1 and WW2 (kinda sad). A few years ago I read his "Never Let Me Go" which a [futuristic] story about children being raised for organ donation. (Grim and sad). Yet, both books have in key respects similar themes according to the reviews I read.

"The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro is my favorite movie. I must have watched it 25 times. So well done.

I went into my closet and noticed one of my Birkins was missing. I keep all of my purses in their boxes, except for when I travel. I hide the Birkins that I leave behind in the drawers under the washer and dryer. When I get home, I put them back in their boxes. As I was rotating my bags, I wanted to wear my blue one and it was not in any of the boxes. Lo and behold, I check the dryer and it was there! My Birkin was in the dryer for one year! It is a little misshapen, but the color still looks great. I brought it to the boutique and they were impressed that the bag held up at such extreme heat. I have 2 kids and 2 dogs, so I do laundry almost daily at high heat. My poor Birkin! Sorry for the messy twillies, they just came out of the dryer.

@haute okole, what is the color of this birkin? It's stunning.

Oops @haute okole, I already asked that a while back. It's Togo bleu encre, as you said. Now that the blue-green colors have been around for a while, intense cobalt blues like this with perhaps a touch of violet are once again taking the stage. I see them appearing in clothing listings. It's a refreshing change.

Here are some more opals:

This is labeled a "very fine opal" on Pinterest because of its red color.

Here is a "how to care for Ethiopian opal" information from Rio Grande, a jewelry equipment supplier. Probably not good to wear if you are using hand sanitizer like mad because of Covid.
Please Note:• Care: Ethiopian opal is hydrophane (from the Greek meaning “water loving”) and absorbs liquids. Because of this, the stone can absorb liquids that will damage its color properties; any water it absorbs should dry in a day or two without damaging the stone. Be aware that oils, soaps and chemicals (including perfumes), if absorbed, may stain the stone, changing its color or damaging its signature play of light. Clean the stone with a soft cloth. Never clean using soap, chemicals, oil, steam or ultrasonics.

Here is an Ethiopian opal. They can have yellow tones in them.

Good morning, @Gnuj!

Toothy Tuesday brought to you by Drew!

(the very rounded fluffy-eared koala above).
Drew was under our care [Queensland Koalas] getting healthy and working on skills needed to be a confident young male koala in the wild. Drew was released in late November and we hope he is enjoying all the new leaf this recent rain brought

Here's another Koala. At first I thought it was a young koala chilling. But then I noticed his beautiful blue eyes which are extraordinary.
