– I doubt there’s any Gary Shearston on iTunes, but you could look! He was very mournful sounding, which I guess suited my mood at the time. LOL! Tiny Tim – there’s another unique performer! I remember him well!
Aussie – I haven’t seen Blood Diamond, but I do know that they fund a lot of aggression, and also that the mine workers are not always treated fairly. I don’t know that much about it all, just enough to know that I need to be careful where I buy them from.
The beetle is kind of fun, isn’t it? I must ask my Mum if she still has the publication with the original article in it.

I can’t tell you how impressed I am about the beetle!! So, impressed – and Australian too ! Yay!
And also very impressed about the diamonds.. I prefer coloured stones, but I’d have the same problem. I’d want to know the stones were trouble free… especially after watching “Blood Diamond”.. I guess you’ve also seen that film. Those earrings sound very pretty.. perhaps, could you ever have them copied by another jeweller? xxx

I don't know who Gary Shearston is but I'll readily admit to having a fondness for Tiny Tim and his amazing ukelele skillzzzz. elasticwaistbandladys last blog post..My House Is More Ghetto Than Your House: Home Bra Repair Clinic

EM – The older I get the more impressed I am with my Dad’s knowledge and expertise. We all took it rather for granted when we were kids, but he actually had articles and short books on coleoptery published, and was a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society.
Sandy – They are! And I treasure them!
Jenny – Me neither! But I’ll probably do it at least once more! LOL! He feels safe to offer now .. but maybe one day he’ll get his bluff called!
RMH – ROFL! I really think I do!!

DM – No worries, a best friend, relative, or someone who knows you well is perfectly fine!
Meleah – I know. Shameful, huh? LOL! There’s the thing about the ethical or non-ethical standard of diamonds for a start (they fund a LOT of wars), and then … well, they’d have taken us over our allowable limit for customs, and it would have cost a lot in duty. Probably more than it would cost to buy them in London. A lot of people have said ‘well just wear them!’ but I just can’t do that.
DBM – He’ll think of something! Let’s hope it’s something printable! ROFL!

I am with Dawn – the diamond thing, pfft, but a beetle, that I could brag about!
I will accept your challenge, but I don’t think you can imagine the enormity of it. Mr. DBM is not into blogs or Facebook or anything like that – he claims he doesn’t even know the URL of my blog. When I mentioned it to him today, he did say “well, you like to travel.” Well, duh. I shall work on it, but no promises, I have a daunting task ahead of me!

Don’t Bug Me!s last blog post..So, I did go diving………..do you think it was worth it?
