Two to choose from...

Following on from my entry from yesterday, about getting myself a furry friend, or two, I made some phone calls...

Penelope, found a new home 2 weeks ago, and moved from Mount Eliza, to Ballarat... :-(

On the up side, I am going to try to meet Fluffy and Jessica on Sunday... Hopefully they are the nice cats that the lady running hostel they are living in says they are... :-)

Furry Friends....

I've decided that for a bit of company, a cat or two could be a good option... I've been doing some web searching, and found three really nice looking female cats, that are looking for new homes...

Two are through a non-profit cats hostel, where the other is a pet of a local family who are moving to the UK...

This is Fluffy, who is cute as cute, and is a negative image of Charlotte, who died over a year ago...



This is Jessica, who is also a very nice looking cat...



This is Penelope, who's owners are moving overseas...



And this is Charlotte, who died on May 4th, 2004

Bloody Petrol Prices...

Having just been on the road for a week or so, I've been pretty horrified at the price of petrol.

On a trip from Melbourne to Canberra, then on to the snow fields of New South Wales, and back to Melbourne, via Canberra, I have seen petrol prices vary from 116.5 c/litre, in Melbourne, to as high as 132.9 c/litre, in Jindabyne.

According to one of the guys who work the money markets for the Commonwealth Bank, the Australian petrol pricing is dictated by OPEC countries, due to most of Australia's diesel fuel being refined in Singapore, from crude oil sourced from the Middle East.

It still doesn't make sense to me that the locally refined fuels are impacted... Just one of the little frustrations in life I guess...
