Linda had a trip down to Melbourne this last week and did what any one from a regional area does in the city, catch up with family and friends along with a good dose of economical shopping.

Cait spent a lot of the last week as sick as a dog but she still got out in the garden to take pictures to make me jealous, of course it's all about me. Zucchini.. to go in the garden... in September! Ahh well.

That description of the cockatoos pruning! Ugh! I reckon they are the yobbos of the bush.

Yeah,

Like all good Yobbo's as long as they aren't pruning my garlic, or remodelling my house, they are quite welcome. I have to say since the bushfires we have seen a lot more Black Cockatoo's passing by which is most certainly a welcome sight.

Kind Regards
Belinda
