Wildlife

On my last trip over here I was excited when I saw the occasional kangaroo, this trip I have seen so much wildlife I am getting quite blase about it. The birdlife is amazing if a little loud, typically Aussie but my favourite critter so far was what my neighbour in Coff's Harbour called a water dragon, this animal which I christened Leonard or Lennie for short suddenly appeared when I dropped some of my dinner on the deck so he joined me for Fusili Bolognaise. I will do a pictorial blog when I get home, I am having a few technical difficulties and today I have resorted to the local library to catch up on stuff, mind you with an outside temperature of 35C to be seated in an air-conditioned building is quite a pleasure.
I am now convinced that 50% of Aussie men of working age are employed on the roads and 50% of them work as lolly-pop men with stop/go signs and 90% of them have grey Van Dyke beards.
My date the other night went well Marion brought the whole family along to meet the Pommy, six adults and four children, don't ask me all their names, people over here are so friendly and outgoing, I met my neighbours in last night's campsite when Kylie came over to introduce herself and then dragged her old man over to meet me, they are both bricklayers who have set up their own business in the area and are living in his parents' holiday home.
Well my session has timed out so time to retire to the pool, more next time I can get on line.
