Sandra, when looking at your heron and mine it seems clear that they are direct descendants from dinosaurs! You have some great names for the birds in that park (Noisy Miner, Tawny Frogmouth, Willie Wagtail).

It was a loud and rainy afternoon and evening, so though there isn't much rain in the morning forecast tomorrow, I'll learn early if it is still too wet still to paint for the remaining touch-ups.

I looked out the window this afternoon in time to see two of the volunteer fire department folks loading their truck with those 4x4 posts that were free at the curb. It seems that away from work one them them has chickens and is making enclosures that can use sturdy posts to frame the base. Excellent!

This evening I emptied a forgotten bin that had some really old potatoes, and just for the heck of it I planted four of them in the garden plot. There were small potatoes growing on the rotting larger ones that might sprout. They may also just decompose into the garden and never make an appearance. The rest are going into the compost bin.

After a long absence from the sewing studio I'm going to go work on a couple of small projects this evening.

we have some good bird names - an old mild insult was to call someone a Drongo scroll to the end (Culture) for the insult, or a Galah, again scroll down for the Cultural References

And a cockatoo was the bloke outside an illegal gambling venue who kept an eye out for police & a cockie farmer was a poor farmer cos teh cockatoos ate his crops.
