That's wild!!!
Down here, on very rare occasions, fish will rain down from the sky into neighborhoods in New Orleans. Lake Pontchartrain forms the eastern and north eastern boundary of the city. There are often waterspouts on The Lake in the summertime. About once every 75+ years, a waterspout will drift off the lake and over the neighborhoods that border the lake. Since it has no water to "feed" itself over land, the waterspout disintegrates, and any hapless lake creatures caught up in it fall down into the gardens below. I've never know it to happen in the 40+ years I've been here, though.:)

It would be most fascinating, but I would also just feel terrible for the poor aquatic creatures.:(
Unless they were camels.
But they're too heavy.
And not very aquatic.

Hello everyone! Hope you are all okay. It's snowing here! Shame it's so wet so it isn't settling so school will still be on tomorrow :(

Happy new year to you! :)

It's nice to see you again :)

It has just started snowing here in Kent.

My son works with a lot of foreign colleagues who are very excited as they've never seen snow before. :) (I'm sure the cold slushy reality of southern UK snow will soon set in :D )

My sisters all got one of those cameras! They are pretty cool, and the quality of the picture isn't that bad:)
I absolutely love it! I plan to have a string going along my bedroom wall with Polaroids pegged to it. It's a shame the films are so expensive. I did find a pack of 4 films (40 shots) for £26 so ordered that straight away! Most are £20 for 20 shots
