As Stephen says, monogamy is an interesting, and fairly recent, phenomenon. That great philosopher Warren Beatty said: "Marriage requires a special talent, like acting. Monogamy requires genius."
Heather, I hope you're getting some of this beautiful rain up in your part of the world...the BOM site indicates you should be. We're down at our place on the Great Ocean Road, which was somehow spared in the Ash Wednesday fires, and this is always a very nervous time of year as we watch the dreaded north wind and climbing temperatures.
Marty, I like the sound of that "quiet spot", although I'm not so sure about having my eclectic musings nibbled.
Ah, Bob, that's not a shed, it's an old-fashioned sleepout!
Thanks, Warren! (And my apologies for taking your name in vain over in the homework section.)
Cheers
David
