Rain Lilies

Eighteen weeks without any water... then just two days after rain, these beautiful lilies (Zephyranthes) burst into bloom! They are very low maintenance, and the bulbs multiply rapidly.

Australian Meal Panel

The Australian Meal Panel (by DBY Research) has some interesting new questions this month. I have been taking part in this paid online survey for several years, and if you live in Australia, you can too. The money I earn is either donated to charity or used to buy certificates or wills for family history research.

About once a month you will receive an email inviting you to do a short survey about food, for which you will be paid. You can also earn extra money by sending in one week's supermarket receipts after each survey.

DBY Research is a consumer research group specialising in food and food retailing. They need people of all ages across Australia to tell them what foods they buy and what they eat. The information sought is not sensitive or private, and it is strictly confidential. By completing the survey, you help to establish important facts and trends about the eating habits of Australians.

To join, go to www.dbyresearch.com, and when asked for the 5-digit pin, enter 86127.
