Jill and Gerard's Seachange

It is Friday

Morning all..

I just cannot seem to sleep past 6a.m. these days. So by 6.30a.m. I am up going for a walk. Just perfect weather for walking, the sun is up, the swans are all about and the rosellas are calling for more food. What more could one want??? I know "that handyman!!"

Anyway I had the privelege this morning of feeding a swan with her bubs!!! Not sure if there were two or three. Two were paddling along side, but when one of them hopped onto her back and nestled in I noticed more fluff inbetween the feathers. It is so cute seeing their little heads bob up. I will put up some pics on the swan blog if you would like to see them. Got a gorgeous close up of the two bubs. The mother, I gather it is the mother was not too keen on having the dogs nearby and although she grabbed a bit of bread out of my hand she hissed at me too! One other swan was about to have a go at one of the bubs and the mother was there within seconds at the other swan.

Pat the painter is here this morning painting around the window frames in the lounge so we can see if we like the colour. He is a bit stuffed as he had a heart op nine weeks ago and although the doc said he was ready to work again, he is finding it a bit hard going. So a short day for him today!

Gerard has gone off to Bairnsdale this morning to help "clean" the church!! So I have the day almost to myself!! He has the graveyard shift at the servo from 5 to 9.30p.m. closing time so I won't see much of him at all today!!! So if I sit on the computer all day if I want to I won't be nagged, or I could go to bed and sleep all day and do absolutely nothing!! But I won't as I have bought some material I want to make some pull down shades in the Purple Palace to cover the laserlight so my card does not fade!! Have worked out what I am going to do, so hope the plan does work!! We shall see.

Anne across the road has lent me her Wisteria book, did you know there are Japanese, Chinese, American, Summer and other types of Wisterias?? NO??? Neither did I. So I am going to read up on them at some time as I want to put in an arbour and have wisteria hanging off it!!
