Not on my watch?!

So...today I went over to check our neighbours 'chooks' and only found four in the pen when there should have been six. I didn't let them out yesterday but had done the day before but asked Will to go lock them up while I was making dinner. He didn't count them when he locked them up. What I think has happened is that when Will locked the pen door two were still outside and a fox got them in the night. One of the missing is 'Uggy', little Nate's white pekin cockeral. I found a trail of white feathers leading off into the bush behind the pen. I feel so bad that it happened on my watch.

Almost ready...and tomorrow...

So...the kitchen cupboards are finished, the worktops and handles fitted and as from today we have running water in the sink...not long now and we could move in properly.

Tomorrow we travel to Brisbane as I have my Citizenship Interview and Test in the afternoon.Ooh er…

'Birdy sitters'.

So...while our neighbours are away for a week we are looking after their 'chooks' and their two pet budgies. When I went to shut the 'chooks' in for the night tonight I just had to take a picture of the sunset from their place...

The Silence of the Frogs!

So...it has been so long since we last heard frogs calling from the dam but tonight the silence of the frogs has been broken."Do you hear the chirruping of the frogs, Clarice?"
