On The Ninth Day

A cooler day, with the midday temperature fifteen degrees less than yesterday...

Surfin' Bird*, our orphaned Grey Butcher bird turned up this morning & it was business as usual, feeding him worms, crickets & fending off the local magpie tribe who wondered why they don't get these treats. He seems unaffected by yesterday's heat, though I did introduce him to the bird-bath in the back yard, by picking him up & carrying him over to it, whereupon he splashed around happily for a few minutes

*Because everybody knows that the Bird is the word!!

Otherwise, a quiet domestic day. Dinner with Brother & Sister-in-law at a Paddington restaurant, but home relatively early
