Ok I now have B's cold in ernest and am off to bed. But the weather was only moderately bad today, so the kids got out - Pads and Clare climbing at Emita,
James and Alanna fishing at North-East River.
Alanna caught five salmon to James and I two each (Ok so mine were on a fly rod with a tiny spinner... which made things ... interesting. But she showed us up nicely)
We had quite a lot of close contact with the pelicans... who decided we were an aid to fishing.
Or an aide anyway.
and a passing wombat
Why, in it's piety it doth feed it's young by ripping open it's chest and feeding them it's own blood. Wonderous indeed!
ReplyDelete[<grin> Never got on at all well with pelicans myself for some reason. Worse than swans.]
Hello Mr Freer
ReplyDeleteTrust that all is well on Flinders. My name is Charlie and i am a friend of Paddy, Clare, Jimmy and Alana's. I would be very happy if you could put up one or two pictures of the wedding, including one of the flower arrangements, am trying to secretly organise a gift for Paddy and Clare.
I love your blog, for one, I had never seen a wombat until this picture. My friend Jack, From Australia says they are somewhat of a cross between a bear and a pig...wonder what God was thinking, its quiet creative of Him, but then again, he is the CREATOR of all things.
Thank You sir, and i look forward to seeing more.

When did I miss the announcement of Paddy and Clare tying the knot?
ReplyDeleteHi Charlie, I will post as many as possible :-) Wombats are called badgers here - to confuse things more
