Hi everyone!

Well, it's finally the holidays! After a v-e-r-y long term, it's great to have some time to relax, and catch up with friends - Sleepyvirgo and mango900 came over the other day, and it was fantastic to have some time to catch up with them!

Another wonderful thing about the holidays - it gives us time to travel. On Friday, my family and I will be travelling to Whyalla, in South Australia, to swim with the Australian Giant Cuttlefish, which are currently spawning, and so such great numbers of them will be concentrated in a relatively small area! I am really looking forward to it, and hopefully I will be able to get lots of photos . It'll be freezing (swimming in the ocean, in winter, in South Australia - I'm going to need a lot of tea), but it will be worth it. We are also stopping in Robe, Port Augusta and Mildura.

Check out the Giant Cuttlefish here:
