I would be glad to give it a try but my athleticism is sadly lacking. I would have to go into training and I've never really been the sporty type - so it could take a while.

Next week should be fine, gives you time to get fit.

Next week? Bah! I'll be fit enough to take in 2 logs by then.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So I'll start organising it then?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Definitely!
...Oh wait, next week?
Damn, I think it's next week that I'm going to have all my teeth filled without benefit of anaesthetic. And since it promises to be as much fun I can't really miss it.

I know just the dentist, so efficient there is no waiting so he'll see you anytime. He still uses a pedal powered drill and his bits are a little old and blunt but his prices are good.

You know my dentist?
btw, I'm not sure I want to know how old his 'bits' are.

They look like they are very patiently waiting in line.

Why? Have you forgotten to bring your tutu?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no the comment up above there
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oops Sorry!
I was unaware you'd made a comment - smartarsish or not. It never arrived in my messages! I was not ignoring and it's no wonder you feel left out.
Screams at dA, *I can be rude on my own, I don't need your help!*

Yeah I normally try to cruise through my pics every now and then just to make sure... but in saying that its getting harder and harder to do
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
One should do that. It'd probably be easier if some *ahem* converstations were folded up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah I suppose so, but I was actually referring to the amount of time I have these days plus the amount of pics I now have
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it gets hard to keep track of whats goin' on doesn't it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah getting harder all the time
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And that has nothing at all to do with the detrioration of the brainpan.

for you maybe but for me not
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well if it keeps getting harder, perhaps you might want to think about going to emergency.

OMG! Caladenia longicauda how did you manage to come across it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I came across it in a storm, my gallant Sir Didymus.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In a STORM, emotional or physical?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Physical. And I suppose it was more of a strong wind than a storm exactly.
Would you believe a weak wind?
How about a breeze?

well considering you where there I'd have to say that a breath of air was possible

unless you really are undead like danny kept on trying to tell me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
looks in mirror at pale complexion. it's just lack of sun...really!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh yes, he was thinking you were a undead magpie

I dunno how I got the 'undead' status, but hey, I'll take any status I can get.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
even one thats a little negative?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure! Negatives can be just as fun as positives. They just get a bad rap. Besides, one man's negative is another man's positive.
I just gotta figure out if it's the same for women.

Oh egads I LOVE this picture. That's a Caladenia - if you let me know what area you're from (i.e. Albany / Busselton etc.) I could probably give you an exact species so you know specifically what kind.
Caladenia's are so stunning though. Just beautiful.

Thank you! I spent hours trying to identify it, but it's not an easy task. I don't know nearly enough about plants. 
The pic was taken approx 20-30kms inland of Capel (between Bunbury & Busselton).

It's a subspecies of Caladenia longicauda (also known as the Common White Spider Orchid). It even looks like it could be this subspecies:

If it is, it's quite rare. 
Wow so pretty. I love these photos that you take.

From what I can tell that looks like it. Thanks so much for the ID.
I'm glad you like the pics.
