Top 10 Vacuum Cleaners By Consumer Reports

my life is beautiful

What was cool for a day please?
yesterday I got the hottest fishing-trip experienced since I came here and were so far at least have some, but that day has just topped everything.
It started at 4.45 clock in the morning, because at this inhuman time I was shaking my alarm clock out of bed. After I pulled myself purely at Ner cozy cup of tea the beautiful sunrise and filled my stomach a little, me Paul has picked up at 6 clock and it went on an unforgettable trip.

sunrise at Banana Well

have in his office in Beagle Bay, we still picked up Jeremy and with the ice cream freezer filled and then have us go to the one-hour ride to our destination. The drive through is finally gone nowhere in Laurys' property to an end - own house, right on the beach, what more could you want?
After we left the boat into the water, Jeremy and I have caught a few bait fish, while Paul and Laury have driven the car to a dry place. But 5min inattention have been enough for the boat to put sand back on. We had forgotten to push the boat out with the tide so it was a short time later there again with dry feet. With all the force we have pushed the boat about 30m gene sea, but the tides were just as quickly us and so we have capitulated yet exhausted 10 minutes and have the beer bottles just opened a little earlier than planned.

waiting for the incoming tide

Waiting for the tide was still not get bored, because Laury had in the far distance two white head - spotted eagle and called them by whistling at us. I could have no idea how he made over a kilometer away to see anything, to me they were only 200m visible before the fish, which we have placed as to attract them. In a crash, he has the fish then grabbed us about 10m away - what a big shot.

the baby would rather wait

After a 2 ½-hour break waiting Pauls' boat had finally gotten back water and off we went. Originally, we wanted to catch fish even a turtle except for Paul's boss, however, Laury had given up his spear and then we were still fishing. Only indigenous people have to catch a tortoise permission, but that day was this unique experience, unfortunately, not accessible to me. However, they have told me how they are processed and then caught. They jump off the boat with a spear on top of the turtle and then try to pull on the surface, where they then someone pulls the boat. May sound easy, perhaps, but I think it's that simple but then, because even such a harmless turtle can easily bite off someone's finger. To cook the turtle is then thrown over the open fire where she is killed before, of course, with a specific section. Apart from the taste to the meat is relatively good, probably the tank the valuable asset to which all are after. cleaned to clean the tank, you throw in just in the garden to the ants in a few days or have it fixed in just one of a virgin and throws him back into the water where the fish eat the remains would.
This time we did not manage to one of the many reefs, which are spread numerous on the coast, but the Creeks, which can only be driven at high tide by boat. Surrounded by mangroves, we then have our "hand lines" with the freshly caught bait on a hook thrown into the water and it did not cost us much time to the first fish to move to the board.


However, all the respect you are not too far from the boat leans, for in these creeks are teeming with crocodiles. Maybe someone says what the name of Malcolm Douglas, a pioneer in Kimberley, who has filmed some of its documents just in such places. Most of his crocodiles what he has in his crocodile farm in Broome hail from this region. So I did during the day also get a face, but it did not have the huge head held out of the water long enough to shoot a photo. But a crocodile us has yet paid a visit and has five feet from our boat pretty blown the bubbles to the surface, but could not itself a tasty fish lure to the surface.

Can you see the air bubbles? : D

All day we drove from Creek to Creek and have tried our luck at various locations. In between I was allowed to even Paul's 50PS Turn up strong motor, which pushes the tip of the boat pretty hard on the air. After the sun finally set behind the mangrove forests and the freezer was full of fish, we wanted to let the evening end with Laury comfortable if we were not, however, stuck by car and by boat in the sand. Was now the second time that day and also it was still dark.

with high tide

After about an hour ago was the Allräder move aggressively with some wood under the tires out of the sand and still happy we went around 8pm back on track.
to A huge thank you Paul, who has enabled me to this day only! Too few people are there in the area and conditions and really deliver what they promise, but he is one of them. I want to talk anyone here bad, it's just the experience I have ever done.

from left to right Paul, Laury, Jeremy and I

I'm looking forward to the outstanding 3 weeks, they too will be memorable, like all the experience I've gathered here;)

How Long For Silicone Glue To Dry?

Fishing ...

It currently the relaxing after work hours to make this life here in a remote area so unique and wonderful. Moments that all hard work and Exertion in the heat to evaporate the Outback. Any waiver, which brings this poor area of civilization with it suddenly seems so small and insignificant, as it had in my life never played a role. Things for which I long in quiet and secluded minutes later, I move in the poll, because that is what happened in front of me soon become passé. With regard to the remaining time will be a from a "still" suddenly "only" and it makes me self-critical, because I ask myself, "Why do you start to enjoy now for the first of everything" before Was it all too adventurous and exciting or a person needs just to catch on at the time, that what currently seems so tangible and commonplace for many people is unattainable. I know it really appreciate what is currently happening day everyday before my eyes? I can state with solid security, yes. But there will always be the case that people learn things only more to appreciate when they are no longer available, which is not to say they never knew to appreciate what they had before.

little change over the weekend
when polishing a pearl mussel

It's just one of those days where it goes after work to fish. The sweaty work boots taken off and into the flip-flops. The head quickly the Checklist will be uploaded for fish equipment. Fishing, bait, freezer, ice cream, knives, pliers, Mosquitoespray and cold water, so I have it all. The cap raised and applied some sun cream and then it can start!. Quickly checked or water, oil and petrol and off you go in the dirty Land Rover, which is still the previous day with a now dried layer of mud covered. gebrettert

over the uneven, red door, there it us today for a change to 'Norman's Creek, one of the many beautiful spots here in the West Kimberley. But no matter where they tried their luck, a fish is guaranteed to catch anyway.

that was probably his day
Norman has only indicator NEM
all the fish out of the water

In an area that for decades, was established under the hand of Aboriginal penetrates so slowly tourism on. There are few places in the world in which the fish in the sea still so frolic in the area. Has long been in other places of the earth, the coasts fished out or distributed by the industry. But this is this place yet! The only thing that is bothering me on my last sentence is "yet". will in Broome, and in many other cities in the Kimberley region have been preparing for in the near future, the vast to suck gas reserves from the soil of this unique region. But fortunately there are enough people here who just want to stop it. "You will never know what you've got until you lost it," one of the many sayings which was sprayed on the streets of Broome. But unfortunately, it can already predict that the industry is too powerful and great to have to stay a couple of friends of the environment. Now it has
me a little devious in the wrong direction:) Back to the present and for fishing.

Arrived here we have 3 fish now and then after work

the creek is all unloading. The mud boots pulled over and the hook tipped with a nice piece of fish - fresh bait is just still the best. But disappointed only the views of the flowing water, because we were unfortunately a little too early. At a place where between high and low tides are almost 10m, you have to throw but just take a closer look at the "tide-book". It is probably the most sought-after book in this area, since it has here almost everyone. Whatever may be for Christians, the Bible is, for fishing here a "tide-book". You can read it for each day of the year when the tides and this is also how high or low water levels are. Depending catch what you want, is planning to extend its fishing trips with a view of the tides. Even if we were a little early at the time were the massive flow is still impressive.


but has calmed down now as the water and it was possible another bite of the flow differ, we threw the hook into the water. Not long did it take until the first fish with a try again sparked little trains on my line. "Participants at last the whole thing with" we think of and when it comes time they need is a powerful train on the line and you get the fish on the hook. In Germany, I've still never really interested in fishing, occasionally trips have taken to the trout-Puff fresh fish on the plate, otherwise it was only the fillet from the deep chill cabinet. About the taste difference, I shall not even speak, but that would be another reason to prolong my time here.

then that was probably a "cat-fish"

It turns here right now really all about fishing. Last Thursday, Mario took us by boat for fishing, exceptional times we had a day off. But before going to the promising fishing trip went, the night before or the bait is caught. A full bucket after a few throws of the net seemed to be a good omen.

a bucket full of bait fish

Creek at low-
tide here we have our bait caught

Mario even had liquid packed bait to the fish to lure to the boat - he probably had something big before . But when we arrived the next morning, 300m offshore from the blue is the engine of the boat had broken and the reef on which he wanted to bring us was then quite a long distance. From the promising trip was a flop and we paddled back again and have tried our luck near the coast, which, however, extremely fast has put out no success. So we have short-hand the fishing trip turned into a recreational trip and put us to the beach. Disappointing Conclusion: 0 fish:)

boat back onto the trailer and chill:)

But the next trip is just around the corner and can only get better. On Saturday I will go with Paul and that is some of his colleagues to go fishing on the ocean beyond. On Sunday, the rest goes to the fish and I will watch again camp, but I will use the time to a classic Swabian court to serve dinner on time. Yes, there are lenses with noodles:) Does anyone have some chance Würstle strings? Have now scho mega buck on it!


Besides all trips there I moved on Sunday morning with Norman to Broome. We have had to buy food and building material and I'm still used to the small residence for 3 months now finally also Internet and receive it on my laptop. The problem was not my laptop but the most incompetent staff from the Telstra shop. Meanwhile, we have sent
get the new project of Michelle. I have not thrown a closer look but there are a few more than at the first election. At that time they had promised us that we are now in the second round our dream project guaranteed to get when we go here into the Outback. We were all three looking forward to new projects, but Mario a little disappointed that we are all so convinced to go. He says repeatedly that we will long for Banana-well, for it was the best place for us. We know all three, that this place has its advantages, but we want to hear even more from Mario that we have too much food, etc. He just babbles a lot when the day is long:)

if the Mosquitoes
come out, it is then time to go:)

read along greetings to all who are still so hard. I can promise that in future there is more interesting, because in the last 3 weeks happen a lot here and also the travel period is coming. Look forward to many great pictures;)
Liwbw castings and a beautiful start to the season of Advent

Poptropica Cheat For Infinite Credit

assistance to Togo Lome Association

Phew, the last two weeks have made me really tired. There were also the most informative and best weeks I have experienced so far and constitute a big change for me.

As reported in the last entry has to get the Solidarity Centre on Wednesday two weeks ago visiting assistance to Togo. Overall is a group of nine people come. We have looked at the Centre together and talked about some things, like a fountain, a photo-voltage line and a bridge that will connect the town over the river behind the center to us.



women at Mono
Since we got well right away, I was the group invited to ride with them to Agbetiko on the border with Benin to take up an association funded by the school visit and see the damage after the long rains. After I received permission from my father and my guest had brought the project site, the trip was going the next morning. In Lomé, we made a break (with Swiss sausage salad) and will continue to be a friend and partner of the club, where we were greeted with trumpet music. Although the orchestra played 20 meters away, has determined that we have talked impossible. The next day, after a short trip to the Mono River, the border between Togo and Benin, we have been received before the new school with a better delivery TamTam. It is inconceivable how long it is until all were sitting in the right place. It is rather discuss than traded. Ultimately, we agreed and the big speeches, followed by loud music and traditional dancing could begin. Even if it was really interesting to witness such a thing, I was glad when the crowd is dispersed and we in the stuffy tent while the equally hot, but also fresh air could. After we have watched a dispensary (village clinic), which, like many others, also in a really bad state. On Saturday we again went back to Kpalimé many hours to drive the next day, the plateau de Dayes, the approximately 70 km north of Kpalimé. Traveling is really very stressful, because it just hot and dusty and the roads are sometimes in very bad condition, riddled with potholes. The climate of the plateau was just beautiful. In the evening it took me even frozen, I had not enough to attract it. I would have never imagined. Very nice! We have moved in a German hostel, has lived for 30 years in Togo and competent in the plateau for the agricultural projects of the association. His wife has catered for us with the best meals of beef from own production. This is otherwise a rarity.

on until our return home Friday, we have looked at the projects of assistance to Togo. These include several schools and kindergartens with tanks and latrines, dispensaries, and afforestation with schnellwachsendem wood. In the schools, we have distributed booklets and kits for the school team that has made all pleasure. We could not even save us some of a loud children.

sweet, right?
The highlight of the day of departure was a tarantula on the terrace.

Back in Kpalimé we do not have the warehouse with the two containers full of Donations from Germany sighted and partially distributed. It is really sad and discouraging when things were not determined in the container, place. There is always a slit ear that will enrich themselves. One can not blame some times when you see the poverty here.
On Tuesday we visited in the fetish market in Lome. Madness which are issued as part of Animal and people think to die too, that a bit of ground elephant bones, mixed with snake skin and alligator eyes can ease her arthritis. Apparently all the animals died naturally, except the poisonous snakes that can kill you.


tough job!
evening is help for Togo again traveled to Germany in the cold, there is probably already the first snow? I have left is Julia2, a volunteer for three months, which will provide me with the Centre Solidarité uncertain. We will manage a fund, among other things, set up the aid to Togo in order to ensure the medical care of the poorest class. This is a big challenge for us, because free care gets around quickly and suddenly all will probably be destitute. It's like a balancing act to decide who is truly in need and who only feigns. Nevertheless, a great experience for us.We got a room at the Centre, where we donated the material, especially syringes, needles and bandages store that will be used for social events. Yesterday we started to unpack and sort everything. A tough job, but we also have fun while each Mange. I'm curious how our project develops and pray to Dieu tout Puissant that we do not fall on your face.

Bonham Carter Lady Jane Beaten

The end is in sight and the atmosphere rises

With this motto we have started in the past week and had plenty of fun. While Max and I look forward more to the travel period, Chris already looks towards the winter because he is for 4 weeks to fly back to Germany. But not only the ever-approaching end of the mood was rising in the past week, it was probably more that Max and I finally have our own bedrooms, is the so much desired privacy!

my wardrobe

After Lilly left us last Monday, I seized the opportunity and Mario asked if it would be possible in the now vacant room to recover. Under the condition to clear the room if customers come back, I purchased the room immediately, which is probably the best solution was to take to the ever-increasing tension in the air. It may sound so that Max and I are unable to live together in one room, but you can imagine it just as it is difficult to see around the clock and do not have a quiet place to which you pull back the times can the whole experience for to handle alone, or to drop a try.

now I have my own little kingdom,
before have Max and I have to share such a room


Privacy is such a valuable commodity, whose value I have come to appreciate only through these experiences. At first I thought it was a bit bad that Chris had to go alone in the room, but from week to week, I envy him more about it. But that's all water under the bridge now and I enjoy it now a separate room to which I already have for years used to at home was. Back in the winter, I envy all the people in Germany scratch the morning while her car free must, however, soon able to walk through snowy forests and Christmas markets and sludge cozy hot mulled wine, homemade Christmas cookies and delicious Christmas dishes can. Unbelievable how many things you learn to appreciate just when they are no longer available! But
whom I have already taken the culinary direction, I have to get rid of what still fast. Not too long ago we had a small shark caught, he was caught in our network and was already dead when we got the web in the morning in again. At my request, the shark is then not again landed in the sea but a few days later by us on the plates. has yet locally Mario except over a meter long shark fillets and remove the fins, of course, what is the first and most important step. The shark fins in the stores of a pollutant called ammonium and gives the meat an unpleasant flavor. I am not a chemist but I could understand the extent of Mario's Italian-English:) This pollutant is also the reason why you can rest the fillets for at least 4-5 days in the refrigerator before being cooked. Finally, the shark ended up as a mega tasty fish-finger at us on a plate and of course without any crows.
could also last week, we are still in the flavor of Seekuhfleisch, which normally only for indigenous people is accessible.

fun at work may sometimes be

Last week during the morning tea:
Chris: "It's quiet cool today, is not it?"
Me: "Yeah just 34 degrees:)"

was still under relatively cool temperatures in recent days to work, which has now become rather a duty. No day of the past week has passed without that Mario has sent us the trailer going to scrape off the red gravel of the road, which he needed a little shaking device with his new play. Otherwise were still paved roads, water lines laid, planted chilli and revenge, of course, leaves together, for the trees here have all year on their fall leaves.

If we were not plant peppers?

forward since the weekend but what

Our veranda will hopefully be ready until next week, eventually reverse slowly back the Mosquitoes. But do not worry if we do not just go to the Mosquitoes on the nerve to do it just flies, against which one can only last so:)

Chris with his all-round protection against the highly intrusive fly
underpants against flies flying in the ears
sunglasses against in the eyes
and the Cap of course against the sun
for the flies in the nose, we have patented yet,
as helping probably still only the strong exhalation

the weekend we were allowed to volunteer Mario Land Rover snatch us are driven to a nearby cove just to let only your soul. A refreshment was probably only the cool water in our cooler, because the water had determined the 30 C ° and was thus anything but refreshing.

we see only know like, because Max
almost black, is: D

no trip to the ocean
without net and hand line

This was again a short weekly insight into my little adventure
All the best to read along still so hard and it again have managed until the end

times, the shape

If you start to count the remaining weeks, a person happy too much on what comes next or you have had enough of what you currently does?
In my case is I think both. I am looking animal on vacation with my family and of course also to the civilized Life, but I also regret a single second that I have spent outdoors. A life that I imagine this time I never could have imagined, for it is a life without civilization, family, sports, friends, mobile phone, variety, and it will furthermore be characterized by loneliness, hard work, tropical climate, many insects, dirt and lack of privacy. I find it very difficult to describe the situation, it probably needs some distance to return to this life with different eyes to look where I currently live. You learn to appreciate simple things that I knew to appreciate not once in my life so far. Even if it's just a cold shower or a full Refrigerator is many things in my life have multiplied their value. A fact which I can already say now is that the majority of German people live well and yet has always something to suspend.
However, I am looking forward to the remaining 6 weeks in what will hopefully a great experience to be gained. There are already some things already planned such as the fishing trip with Paul's a big boat or a few working days with indigenous people, which was one of my greatest desires to know just how to deal with such people. It has already told me that the term "work" a little recreation for full meaning It has. One misconception about what I would like to make my own image, before I begin to judge.
But all this is still in the future and lived in the present, which is currently dominated by very hard work.

As Paul once told me, you live here back 50 years, which is also reflected in the work again. Many activities must be done by hand be done, but it would make machines yet so much easier! Nevertheless, the hands are the best tool:)

But before the trained hairdresser has left us, she has Chris and I still missed a hair cut, which for me anyway was long overdue! In short, shorter, his beard is almost longer than my hair on the head:)

go people, but animals come. The groans of the peacocks in recent weeks has cast their fruit, and so there are now some small peacock babies waddling through the area here.

Who expected for the weekend program change is probably wrong. This weekend we went to the "Shelling" and not "fishing" which was of course to the tides. So it always changes here from the 2-week intervals. I knew that collect the shells is totally boring, but I hope always get up that early but does eventually paid time. There is really less what is more boring than that! After Max has already lost after 20 minutes the air, it has used with me further 40min until I got my tool out to the side and have taken the time to make some great natural shots.

rest of my spare time I'm taking it mainly for rest, reflection and reflecting. I always regular cords me right now, my running shoes to, because it's fun to jog through the middle of nature. Now and then parrots fly over the treetops, and if you are happy times, we see then perhaps even a donkey:)
Another pastime is also then reading, which deals mainly with local history.
