Bridie and Milk Plastic

That pademelon came back this morning. Seems she's taken a shine to the spot in front of the garage. Well, we figure, if she's going to keep turning up, we'll name her. So she is hereby named 'Bridie'. I say 'she'... but it could me male.

 You've heard of pork scratchings... well, here's pademelon scratchings.

Pademelon Shine.

Later in the morning, we took the boys to a homeschool gathering. It had a hands-on science theme. Boys got to explore things that involved Bicarb-soda (baking soda) and vinegar. The section I liked most was where they made plastic from milk. It's a subject that's covered in the book Makeshift Workshop Skills by James Ballou. Good to see it done in real life.
