Here are some random thoughts we've been collecting for the past few days:
- Here, massage is called bodywork, and bodywork on a car is called panel-beating (it sounds so violent!)
- When you are really busy, during the times that you might say you're running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, you say "flat out like a lizard drinking." Awesome.
- You can call really mean people a "nasty bag of weasels." We heard this first when someone was talking about politicians. :)
- Sadly, when I was eating breakfast on the beach on the Central Coast, I was subjected to older gentlemen walking on the beach in Speedos. Here, Speedos are called "budgie smugglers." How perfect is that? Speedos totally look like men smuggling parakeets! Ha!
- On the Central Coast, both Jim and Nancy were awakened by a beautiful but incredibly loud chorus of birds. This is called the "dawn chorus."
