PICS
Thursday was National Women’s Day in South Africa (in the memory of the 1956 march by South African women to petition against a law that required black people to carry the "pass", which reduced their freedom of movement during apartheid) and it’s a public holiday. I got to spend a bit of time with my sis-in-law and the rest of the family before she leaves for Australia. Also, there were screaming kids everywhere, which counts as a yearly dose of best natural contraception.
I used that extra time to do something that I wanted to do for a long time – get rid of my Facebook account. There were just too many people I don’t even know properly or that I used to know a long time ago. I kept on losing track of people that I genuinely care about and that I don’t get a chance to see often, so something had to be done. I deactivated the old one and opened a new one for a selected few that I want to be in regular contact with. Don’t think anyone will even notice I’m gone, that’s how active I was. I also made an effort to copy all my photo albums to the new ones, and I’ve found a few long forgotten gems.
My volunteering days at C.R.O.W.
The reason why I don’t go to Croatia in winter anymore. 
The time they let me kiss a dolphin (and I liked it).
Me and a few unsuspecting animals. I swear I was not squeezing that baby crocodile too hard.

I studied it in school, and it's just the worst, worst thing ever. The way humans can treat other humans...it really frightens me.
Hope you're good anyway

I'm the same way about Facebook. The only reason I haven't deleted mine is because of my navy friends but I am definitely considering it.

oddly, it doesn't look all that cold in your photos,
excepting the Croatian ones, of course.
Aye, I've re-committed myself to my "no scroll" down philosophy on Facebook®™©,
it's happy birthday, cyber-nanny Spawn & get the fuck out.
Oh & speaking of Spawn; if you think screaming kids are good contraception,
try hanging with a teenager.
I actually miss the screaming kid days.

I used a ladder and braced it with the stairs on one side,on the other side I had a towel over the top of the ladder as to not scuff up the wall and than rested the top of the ladder against the wall,after that it was easy,just walked on the than secure ladder and had to keep good balance and just placed the banner up there.
Cute that you spend time with the animals and reptiles .
I'm thinking of getting a new pet maybe but am not sure yet.
Meh...manners are overrated anyway XD.
LOL you're like me about keeping in contact with people,if it wasn't for people's blogs and pictures on here I'd be disconnected.
Glad you seem to be doing ok and had such a fun time with Lumo and Vassilis .

I envy you for getting that close to a dolphin. I always wanted to do that, give him/her a fish and whatnot, dolphins are really cool.
