For some of you it's the first day back at school so to distract you here's an update on Things I Have Been Doing.
1. Driving my little car. The first traffic encountered was a peacock and two peahens. Then a tractor. This suits me fine as I'm just learning to drive again.
2. Cooking things. Mostly nice relaxed recipes with phrases like 'bang the dish on the counter a bit'. Thanks to the biscuit-making creatures in my classes last year I have been inspired to make cookies and eat them. Nom.
3. Feeding things. Some sheep like parsley, others prefer shallots, or apples, or snow peas. Know your sheep! Chickens, however, eat almost everything.
4. Watching birds. So many birds! King Parrots that look in your window with a puzzled expression until you bring them sunflower seeds; swallows nesting on the balcony; emus on their yearly blackberry binge; chickens with their odd chicken ways; and the little blue guys that have stolen my heart: Superb Fairy Wrens. I’ll post photos when I get them: those tiny wrens fly so fast! The chickens shouldn’t be too hard to catch though :)
That's enough for today. Best wishes to you all :)
