I Quokka You

 
Let me take you back to 2019, to Rotto
This was a pic on the wall in a loo - ALWAYS have your cam with you, right?
 
But we saw these cuties (that my Niece called "rats") for real, too, and with them I join ...
 

 ... Eileen, so here goes:




Sadly I had no swimsuit with me.
But it was a fantastic arvo (Aussie for afternoon).
And I´m wearing that skirt right now, too. Bought it 2013.

I certainly got a souvenir, a tea-towel made by people with mental disabilities, so easy and nice and beautiful to support, right:


It hangs right by the condo-door.
 
Henry 🦁... see the kitties to the Quokka´s side - happy Saturday!
 
Mind another history-lesson? (Source)
 
 
 "The hidden inventions of great inventors

 "Babbage was an important early computer pioneer who also suffered from double vision. He invented the first ophthalmoscope, which used a mirror to reflect light into a patient's eye.
 
The device also had an opening through which a doctor could look to see the inner eye. Babbage eventually abandoned the idea because the doctor he was working with was not convinced of the value and function of the device."

An early pioneer...

  3. Quokkas are adorable. The one in that first picture you shared made me smile in a big way. And nice you have that tea towel to remember the moment. You're like me still wearing clothes from back in the day. Hey, if you like them and they fit, I say go for it. Of course I do so I would say that, right? have a super rest of your weekend Iris. hugs-Erika

  9. I've never heard of the Quokka. Cute in a Rodentia sort of way. They have front paws like our garbage pandas (racoons).

  13. What a cute critter! I had never heard of them. I love that you still have that skirt. I have some things in my wardrobe that are at least 20 years old. But why get rid of them if they're still good and wearable?

    Sue, They live just in the next little island by Perth! I am so with you, why throw away good clothes! Especially this skirt, you can pop in your camera, so practical!
