Monday

M Kaz and I spent some time out in the yard this morning after she’d been down to the Broadwater doing her sunrise photographs (and talking with the other Dawn People), editing them (the photos not the people), futzing around in the office (don’t know what she was up to in there because she locked me out again!), having her breakfast (yuck … Porridge) and stacking and turning on the dishwasher.

It was sunny out there and M Kaz just sat and soaked up the sunshine as she watched me. I looked for Lennie and, again, I couldn’t find them. I hope they’re doing that thing snakes do for the Winter – brumation – and that they’re okay. I worry that there are so many birds about and all of them look as though they could use a good feed! Lennie looks so tasty! Or did the last time I saw them. And while we’re doing the friend check, I haven’t seen Kermie for ages – and it’s certainly wet enough for him to be about. It’s so wet and waterlogged out the front that the Mummies now have a pond near the driveway. I wonder if they will get down to the NBN “stuff” before M Kaz gets the sand to fill the hole in. There is just so much else M Kaz would prefer to be doing – and some of it is even constructive! Watch this space! There might even be some potted plants and fixed border edging in a moment!

While we were out in the yard there was an annoying high-pitched noise – getting louder, then softer and louder again. M Kaz finally decided – and she was right – that someone was flying a something over in the reserve – and over the houses backing on to it, ours included. She picked it – it was a model plane doing circuits, although in keeping with the noise it made, it should have been a big mosquito.
