On a beautiful day Fay goes for a swim

It's sunny, mild day here today. Everything that summer offers, without too much heat or humidity. Fay decided to hit the creek at high tide, and I took a video of her returning to the pontoon.



Meanwhile I proceeded to do some coding for the fellows in Melbourne, inside, at my PC. Some of us have to work!

Fay has another Job

Fay went for an interview Wednesday and was terribly disappointed about how she went. Until the interviewer rang her up to offer her the job!

It is involved with a team that aims to get old folks who have had a stay in hospital back to their home and living as independently as they can, or want to.

So it's a big step in her career into the area of rehabilitation and trying to improve the lives of the aged, rather than assisting them to get from day to day.

She really likes her work with the aged.

That went fast

One minute it was the 4th and now it's the 16th!

Anyway the pee wees have almost completed their nest. It took a lot longer than usual. The main problem was the female, as she is missing most of her right foot (claw?) and she is constantly flying at the windows and looking at her reflection. Still the male has got most of the nest done and we're watching it every day.

The first triathlon was Saturday. It went well and we had a great time. It's great to be racing again, mind you I probably won't be so enthusiastic in a month or two.

Today was one of those near perfect Sundays. We went for a ride early this morning, had a lazy breakfast after and then read for most of the day. The sun was shining the sky was clear and the creek was full of people enjoying themselves.

I'm packing for Melbourne tonight and I'm heading down for the week tomorrow. It will be good to see the Melbourne Crowd.

Nesting Birds

We have our Magpie Larks (pee wees) building a nest outside our window again. We think they're too late as a lot of birds already have their chicks in the nest.

Still it's fun to watch them build the nest from mud and spit. It's started to rain again, so I think that will set them back again.

More news as it comes to hand.

Long Ride

I went on a ride with Phil this morning, Fay slacked off and did a ride on the mag trainer. We went out through the hills towards Murwillumbah.

We stopped on the way to take a look at the airstrip at Murwillumbah and then on to a coffee shop for some morning tea. A blues-roots singer was playing a steel guitar and didn't sound too bad at all.

We headed home via Tumbulgum and Stotts Creek before heading over the hills and back home. A 60km bike ride on a lovely sunny day.

Almost too good.
