Here is Sparky, after his bath on the weekend. My son's mate described him as "the ninja little green guy", after Sparky had rocketed past his head a few times. He thought Sparky was awesome. I found this one while I was uploading, too. I love this photo, taken sometime in Feb.

Firstly I had to know what "the ninja little green guy" was. I did a little search and it appears that the little fellow was right. Sparky does look like one Lovely to see him all wet and Sparky What are they having in the second picture. Lovely picture though

It's Vegemite, BB. An Australian spread for toast which is a bit of an acquired taste. The English have something similar called Marmite. You put a light scrape of it on your toast and butter.

We used to get something similar in the hostel mess while studying and it tasted very bad. I think that was the British version. Can't remember the name now.

Lovely photos Hezz. Sparky does remind me of my little Jerry. Bluey reminds me of Blueboy.

Just like Marmite but slightly stronger! I don't know which one we used to get but it was bitter, and I remember that I always thought what was the reason to eat it if it was not tasty.

Will have to get some then (as you can tell have not bought Marmite or a while)! But just say one thing that did put me off is if you don't eat it quick enough it goes poisonous?! Is that true Stace? Yeah sorry Hezz - repeat BB's sentiments!

Budgies like it, so it can't be all bad. One of my Italian friends can't believe we eat the stuff though.
