Household Hint No. 374

If your electricity
Is cut off
The glow from six fireflies
Provides enough light
To read a book.

Poor fireflies.

On the other hand, are they rechargeable?

No but they are biodegradable.

Let's leave them critters alone :) Already so few of them left. Have you guys ever done the river ride up Kuala Selangor to view the flashing fireflies? Quite a sight. Flicker flicker...

nice idea .. take a boat trip and sit and read on the river

don't say that kak teh ... i'm coming back soon and i don't have warm shoes or a warm jacket and i can't find my gloves and woolly scarf ... my usual ploy is to borrow the family cat for warmth
