Day 61 2016: When best laid plans...

Day 61: ...go to the birds

I had it all planned. Last week was all the indoor cleaning, tidying, packing because outside was just too hot to work. (Plus, there is so much to do inside...) This week was going to be all the outdoor work: deck-oiling, lawn-mowing, garden-trimming, gutter-clearing...

And then rain. 

And more rain. 

And then, soaking rain...

There was a bit of chest-beating early on, 

'My wing is like a shield of steel...'

So there.

'You're embarrassing me again'

 A bit of a feed with a view to getting on with it...

Selective seeding

This'll do

Don't lose focus

And then, in the end, like a headless...lori, we just had to sit it out.

Unfortunately, the rain is forecast for a few days yet. My countdown is heading towards single figures...will I get there? Stay tuned. 

Meanwhile, at least there are lorikeets.
