The telly has left Singapore and is now headed towards Yantian in China...So is Typhoon Haiyan! Oh, oh Chango!
Storm.
After a very hot morning a storm suddenly came in this afternoon. The sky darkened very quickly and we went out to see it approach. We could see white clouds being sucked up from nearer the ground and the dark clouds above were swirling round visibly. It looked like it might turn into a tornado.
A sudden wind arrived and we saw lightning flashing at the edge of the storm. We went in and shut the doors and the rain started.
The raindrops were huge but it only rained heavily for about 5 minutes and then it stopped. A young Currawong came and sheltered, on the railing of the front verandah, from the rain.

Who pinched the parsley?
Dulcie has a small pot of parsley which hangs over the back verandah. We awoke this morning to find soil all over the top step at the back. Someone had ripped the parsley from the pot...even worse one of her knitted slippers had gone too! We found the missing slipper down the side of the house and later on in the morning the culprit returned to the scene of the crime! He sat on the railing just outside the back door.
A Sulphur Crested Cockatoo.
