A new Home

Damnit! I missed a whole month (more) of blogging.
Too busy, working and moving and working and moving and working.... literally...

A week of logistical management, cooking, cleaning, driving, booking flights and all that... followed by a couple of weeks of trying to shift 17 years worth of life into another house, consoling wife and kids along the way.... followed by another week and a half of 15 hours or more per day of the same kind of logistical stuff I do for a living, followed by, what I thought would be a break but turned out to be a combination of helping a friend move house and sorting out logistical crap unexpectedly for work again... There were some ordinary moments in amongst it which I owed my family since I'd accrued a serious time debt...

And now here I am somewhere down the line in the middle of July and finally get a chance to sit at my computer and I'm so stuffed all I can post is a picture of a blue winged kookaburra on the clothes line of my new place... and the Double barred finch who's eggs he stole!

In the yard

News came last month that we'll have to leave our home of 17 years.

As the reality begins to sink in I've been looking around the place and appreciating just how amazing our little part of the world is. In our tiny yard there is a multitude of life! I've probably mentioned it before but so many species, birds, lizards, insects plants... Many of the creatures have become accustomed to us and don't bother to run too far. Before the time comes for us to leave I'd like to document some of the creatures and plants we share our home with.
