Sydney still...


What happened to the weather in Sydney. I can't believe it was ever as bad as this in October - back in the day....

These birds visited the garden in Hunters'Hill every day. One day he brough two girls with him. I think the trees would astound the monks who planted them in the 1870's. A Brother living there told me that the banyon trees dropped seed pods so big and from such a height that it was not wise to walk down the path to the little chapel. One day while sitting at the front of the library where the classes my daughter-in-law was attending were held a kookaburra flew into the nearest tree with a little worm, or could it have been a baby snake? hanging out of its mouth. It spent a few minutes checking that he/she was not being followed and then flew off. Muggings my mynahs must be a frequent problem in that neck of the woods.

Maybe a baby snake - they have pretty keen eyes... More resignations at work, more farewells, all rather interesting... Glad to hear you are moving onwards and upwards. x
