I love the Beetles, but this is ridiculous!

The last few days have been hectic. I just took a look at the blog and realized that last post was from Wednesday, and today is Saturday! Where did the time go? Seems I'm rushed off my feet at the moment with items to take care of from printing, ordering, designing, emailing and then all the photography issues too. I must though apologize to my lovely wife Terri as I know I become a grumpy old arse when the workload increases. I suppose it's just my way of dealing with it, stay completely focused and try to address each item as I see fit. Terri's decisions generally tend to be the wiser option as she has a great knack for balancing up any situation and then logically thinking that through. I tend more to go with the 'Bull in a China Shop' attitude. Cheers babe, thanks for the support.

I guess my actions would be more in tune if I only had limited time on the planet. Not that I haven't but at least the duration is greater than let's say these little beetles. Whilst working last night I couldn't quite put my finger on the unusual smell that hung in the air. I've had a couple of showers this week so it couldn't be me?? I couldn't trace it until the dog started going bonkers out in the car port. Opening the door was like stepping into a scene of some biblical plague scene. The car port was full, literally, with hundreds of beetles, these small black bugs were everywhere. I guess the stink was coming from their natural defense system which when they feel threatened they give off a really shitty smelling pong! The dog was getting a nose full of the pungent stuff hence her whimpering, I don't blame her, it stank.

Aggregations such as these in the animal world suggest a mating run was taking place in my car port! Such fun, never thought I would host an insect orgy but there ya go. Living in Indonesia is full of surprises.

Cheers,
Mark.
