Pygmy Hippopotamus calf Monifa is just three weeks old and at birth weighed in at 3.8 kg.   I got my first glimpse of cute Monifa on the news last night as she frolicked in the water… now tipping the scaled at 6.7kg.

Monifa is being hand-raised as her mum Petra had birth complications.  As a mum myself I know how demanding a new child can be…..but these dedicated carers are taking turns doing 24 hour shifts.

There is only one other breeding pair in the Australasian region and Pygmy hippos are extremely endangered with only about 3000 in the world…. so you can see why the staff at Taronga Zoo are so excited about the arrival of this cute addition…. Pygmy Hippopotamus calf Monifa.

Taronga Zoo are yet to update their site with pictures of Monifa….. but it’s your lucky day as our local newspaper Manly Daily has some great photos to share with you of the new Pygmy Hippopotamus calf Monifa.
Talking of cute…..
Have you seen the new Elmo Live or the Furreal Friends My Lovin Pup that are in hot demand for xmas this year?

One of those events is the Womens Clothing & Accessories Swap.  I’m sure if you’re anything like me you have a wardrobe just overflowing with clothes that you hardly ever wear. 

Well ladies… with the Womens Clothing & Accessories swap  at Narrabeen now’s your chance to have a good cleanup & get rid of the clutter as well as finding new clothing that fits and you will enjoy wearing.

Are you aware that every year Australians spend $1.7 billion on clothing they don’t wear?  Those are staggering figures and to think that doesn’t include the clothes that you do wear.

Celebrate National Recycling Week by attending Warringah Council’s Womens Clothing & Accessories Swap.

Where:
The Tramshed, Berry Reserve 1395a Pittwater Rd Narrabeen
Thursday 13 November    7 - 8.30pm

Booking are preferred and you can call Matina on 9942 2732 for more information on the Womens Clothing & Accessories Swap or visit the Warringah Council website so you know all the ground rules before joining in this great swap.

Recycling helps reduce the strain on global resources and cut green house gases.

“If you think of all the newspapers and magazines that we recycled last year, that led to a potential saving of about 1.2 million tonnes of greenhouse gases.” 

“Every time people recycled an aluminium can, that saved enough energy to power a TV set for three hours.”

Talking of super savings…
