HMMM, QUIETLY GOES MY LIFE

 

I'VE BEEN LAYING LOW - still waiting for the scopes at the epworth.  Have started a new project after giving up on Romeo and Juliet for a second time.  I just don't like any of those characters - it's been making me feel sick trying to get something out of it.  

    morning walk up to the pier, three gorgeous pelicans flew                overhead and took over the lights

                                  MY BEGONIA HAS GONE BERESK!!!

I'm not swimming much but a couple of afternoons i've been out around the wreck, it's beautiful out there and the birds just stay and watch me as i glide by

HAPPY TO SEE the crimson rosella discovering the birdbath in the backyard.  till now he's been inhabiting the liquidambar out the front, investigating the front lawn and nature strip and poking his head in the nesting box where the eastern rosella has been for the past couple of months.

I'VE FINALLY SORTED OUT THE SPARE ROOM spurred on by my dropping Romeo and Juliet again and pitching my idea for a book about my 10 years on the river, an account with photos, sketchbooks, etchings 

I'm excited by it and Erica's said to go ahead and get something together to show them so this is now my writing room.  at some stage i'll get a day bed to go under the window for guests
