It will be a long loft visit, but i am sure. I will be very happy taking a look at your set up, and have a chat on many topics. You always put good points forward, so it will be great to see how you work with your birds Murray.

There's a lot of the big white Cockatoos in the area, sometimes there are a couple of hundred of them in the trees out the back. We have a family of a dozen or so that turn up for a feed, including one who must be very old. He's possibly 50 or 60 years old and is half bald and his beak is worn down. We make sure there's food for them and he seems to not go far away now.
He was out there this morning so I didn't go outside for a few minutes until he had a good feed. Since we have been feeding them he seems to have put on some weight and grown some more feathers. They are wild but he doesn't go far when we go out.

Also saw the little black wallaby out the back over the creek this morning. I was told there's wallabies down the creek, but have only seen one a couple of times. Not a good picture, it's too far away, a little dark shape in the middle of the picture.

Some nice photos there Murray the old one certainly looks his age

The old bloke this afternoon down for some food. It's cold and showery, so I like to see him getting a feed. I was only about 20 feet away from him so he's learning to trust us.

A flurry of activity is finally happening at the cottage in St Arnaud. Contractors leveling the foundations, builder all set to install the bathroom after that, painter teed up to work around the builder, we met with the interior designer today to clarify colours.....

We went out and pulled the carpet and underlay out of the hall and living room today. That was not a great success. It showed that I'm not going too good at all.
I can't do much at all without running out of air.
I got a phone call from the lung specialist yesterday saying she wants to see me on Monday after the scans I had last week. That's ominous. I have a lung function test and then a consultation.
Typically, the first thing that went through my head was she will tell me my lungs are buggered and the pigeons have to go. Catherine shot that down
We know my lungs are shot but we don't know how bad it is, and the pigeons are not going yet.

Watch this space.
