Another bowl down

skyringSpotted a whole bunch of black cockatoos flying around this morning. Three flew right over the house and we were able to get a good view. In other news a trio of the white, sulphur-crested, variety came along and assaulted my bird feeder. Bloody things. I love them to pieces, but they are larrikins and when one discovered that it couldn't easily get down to the seed, not without spilling out most of it first (which of course it did) it lifted the whole thing off its hook and dropped it. Smash onto the bricks below. That's the second time the terracotta bowl has been broken. I used to have a "security chain" made out of an old bootlace, but that got chewed through long ago.
Yesterday I had free time, the car and a fine clear sunny day. I raced around releasing books at some of Canberra's prime locations, taking photographs for my journal entries to rubyjules' Bookcrossing Journal. Great fun and I got some excellent shots.
Priior to that I froze off my fingers at the YMCA Garage Sale out at Yarralumla. I used to get some great bargains there, but nowadays the stock gets picked over pretty thoroughly before ever I get to it. Still, I got a box of books, mostly for release, but enough for resale to make a profit on the deal. Before I attend the next one I'll have to buy some gloves that are thick enough to be useful but thin enough that I can leaf through books.
I've started up another blog, this one for my technonerdly stuff.
We've turned the corner on winter, I can feel it. The days are getting warmer (well, OK, it was only 12 degrees above freezing today, but I'm talking about normal days, alright?), and the days are getting longer. Not by much, but the rate is starting to accelerate.
