A spinoff of teaching Adara about animal and plant life is that I have started to pay more attention to biodiversity on the web. I do a Yahoo! news photo search for her most mornings.

The ABC will tonight be announcing the results of a nationwide poll conducted over the last few months to find "Australia's Favourite Book". The announcement will come as part of a 90-minute special beginning at 7.30pm. I'm going to make a dull prediction and say that "The Bible" will get up.
I missed out on voting in the poll, so to make up, here is my personal choice of my five favourite books of all time, counting down in reverse order. There are four fantasy fiction works and one non-fiction.

South Australia have been bowled out for 29 by New South Wales today at the SCG. Nathan Bracken took 7/4. I haven't looked it up yet, but I suspect it is South Australia's lowest Shield score ever.
