Note: For all Flat Tony adventures click the drop down Category box in the side bar & select “Flat Tony”
After becoming familiar with the indoors of his 3D home in Tasmania (see last Friday’s post) Flat Tony checks out some blog posts then heads outside to see what’s going on in the yard.
Later in the day I had some rose branches to shred, Flat Tony insisted on helping but I wasn’t too keen on the idea…
Then a bit got jammed, I think the Division of Work Place Health & Safety may have something to say about his blockage clearing methods.
After a busy day he was all tuckered out & went off to bed early. However I think he may have a dispute to settle with Dixie over ownership rights to the bed…
Note: He is actually lying down on Dixie’s bed although it kinda looks like he’s standing up. Must be a funny camera angle.
Some time ago I posted about the importance of mowing before your neighbour got around to it.
The bloke across the road mowed his lawns last weekend & kinda beat his next-door neighbour to the task. His neighbour rarely mows their lawn as you can probably tell so it doesn’t take too much effort to out-mow them. Notice that he mowed part of their lawn to the tree just to highlight their slackness in lawn maintenance as he really didn’t need to mow from the left of his driveway.
Maybe it has been declared a World Heritage area so they aren’t allowed to mow it??? I can barely remember the last time they mowed. Occasionally they cut it down with a whipper snipper & just leave it all there in an untidy mess which is a shame as everyone else in the street keeps their homes nice & tidy.
I suspect that there’s possibly a family of supposedly extinct Tasmanian Tigers (Thylacines) that remain undiscovered living in the wilderness of Brewer Place.
Oops, that’s not one, looks like someone just painted some stripes on a dog. Here’s one here…
Like so many other poor creatures they were hunted to extinction by stupid men. Here is a link to the Thylacine Museum where you can learn more about them.
CLICK HERE for some Tasmanian Tiger video footage
Flat Tony travelled all the way from Florida to Texas with Era @ Today’s Thought & her family.
CLICK HERE to check out the adventure they all had along the way.
Recently I was at the supermarket with Michelle when I spotted Oreo’s & decided to try them as I’ve never had them before. You can see from the photo that the one shown wasn’t actually my 1st. I had eaten gluttonised down 1/3 of a packet before I took the photo
Note #1: The burn mark on the bench top is from a previous tenant, we didn’t do it…
They were so much more chocolatey than many chocolate biscuits I have had before & the cream filling was very nice too.
Note #2: ‘Scuse my dirty hands I had just come in from weeding the garden.
I was impressed & think I will definitely buy them again.
I also noticed that they are made by 
, the Vegemite people, I didn’t know that before. Aren’t supermarkets just so full of things to learn about???
Hmmm…
For a real Australian taste I could scrape out the creamy filling & replace it with a nice thick layer of Vegemite.
Oreomites!!!
Hey, I could really be onto something here…
Any rear view shots of Flat Tony were going to be a bit plain as all he had for a back was brown cardboard so I decided to give him an extreme makeover.
I needed a photo of the back of my head but my arms weren’t long enough to get the camera far enough away, Michelle was still in bed & I was too impatient to wait for her to get up to take a photo. Therefore I enlisted the help of the bathroom mirror.
Can you believe the level of baldness in that photo??? I must’ve had the camera’s red eye hair reduction setting accidently turned on.
A bit of adjusting with the GIMP (Graphics Image Manipulation Program) & it was ready to print.
Then it was just a matter of cutting out & gluing onto his back.
Voila!!!
Although I was a smidgen out on size & didn’t quite make it big enough so there are a few lot of edges where the cardboard overlaps a bit but not to worry, what do you expect for the rebuilding of a $6 man
A Bumblebee shirt & a pair of jeans, that’s all a bloke needs…
Baldies rule!!!
I turned off the flash because it would’ve ruined the picture due to the mirror so his rear view head came out a bit darker than his front view face. From the back he looks like Flat Middle Eastern Tony…
I came across one of these quizzes on Jim’s USS Soapbox blog so I thought I’d do a few more of them. Some of the results are a bit worrying…
No hair & 5 missing teeth cuts down my recyclability a fair bit.
I s’pose that’s a fairly low %…
Guess it wouldn’t matter if I’m dead how long it would take.
With only 4% chance of survival I’m glad there are no bears in Tasmania. I wonder if that same chance % applies to Tasmanian Devils???
I will avoid mountain climbing, abseiling & skydiving activities. I better use a safety rope the next time I get on the roof to clean the chimney.
I answered NO to all the questions because we don’t have a cat. Therefore I don’t understand how the cat we don’t have still has a 67% chance of killing me. Go figure???
Where I work is at the bottom of a really steep hill. So recently I had the bright idea of walking to the top for extra exercise during my lunch break each day.
The little voice of conscience inside my head forgot to say “Don’t be a fool you stupid old fart, that’s a really bad idea!!!”
This is where it starts to go uphill…
This is about a 3rd of the way up. Where I work is roughly where the red arrow is pointing way down the bottom.
This is looking up the hill about 1/2 way up
Here is a view from almost at the top
The previous photos don’t give an accurate indication of how steep it actually is so here’s a photo looking across the street comparing the incline of the street to the horizontality (Is that a proper word???) of the house…
It was a really good legs, heart & lung workout but the next day I felt like I had run an Olympic marathon. For 3 days after every step I took really hurt. My legs were so stiff, sore & painful, especially the muscles down the front of my shins. I felt like I needed a walking frame.
Or a motorised mobility scooter.
I decided not to do it again…
