Shark! Shark!

Me:  It’s a shark!  It’s a shark!
MKaz:  I didn’t say that Nigey. I said it’s a “Hammerhead”.  That’s a plant.  That’s what the white flowers are.  Blah … blah … blah.

Yes, I stopped listening about then because M Kaz does go on a bit sometimes (well, a lot of the time actually).  The conversation came about because I was staring out the window and the Mummies were trying to work out what I was looking at … and M Kaz had come over to the window to look too.  That’s when she said “hammerhead” – and I admit to being a bit surprised because even though it has been raining a bit lately, I hadn’t realised it had rained so much that marine life would be encroaching into our yard. Apparently not … as it turns out. Who knew that hammerheads are plants … and what a strange thing to call them.  I suppose it’s no stranger than… well, you get the idea.

M Kaz took off with her camera this morning to do some photography in the Botanic Gardens and when she came back a couple of hours later, she told us that she had managed to take only a few photographs because she had ended up having coffee with their mate Ro over at the Gardens.  That was totally unexpected… especially as M Kaz had thought she was going off to wander the garden paths by herself and maybe photograph a bird or two. How plans change! But she did manage to get a couple of bird photographs. She could have done some bird photographs without having to leave home, of course, but … no, the birds are apparently better at the Gardens.
