Morning all: Long day at the rose garden - poor Robert who supervises the volunteers has been fighting off a bug and a couple of us stayed on longer than usual to help him clean up stuff. I'm sure I'll be stiff tomorrow. Not as many folks showed up as last year and some of the beds were pruned by city employees which means we'll have to go over those beds again since they did a fairly perfunctory job.
Watching Mad Men (Netflix rental video of first season). Great viewing when you're too tired to think. Take care all and have a nice Sunday.

ALICAT good evening yes one and the same. Doesn't Phoebe look just gorgeous. Not usually on here in the evening but OH is at his Italian classes so thought I would have a look as it is still dark there when I switch off in the afternoon.

Blue sky, expecting 29 C today, so it won’t be too hot for the Tour DownUnder. The route today from Tailem Bend to Mannum, both on the River Murray, takes the long way through the Adelaide Hills. I'm taking my usual route to the library. New bus timetable and they've removed one of my morning choices. It just means more people, less seats. Whatever happened to improving things?
’Evening/Afternoon/Morning Everyone :)
The clouds have moved in and we’re in for rain overnight and Wednesday with temps rising to 5º above … that beats yesterday’s bright and balmy temp of -19º (with windchill)!
Thanks, Alan, for the heads-up on the Norfolk eagles … grabbed a pic of the pair earlier (they are on the nest now as I type); and for the owl story … hope he didn’t suffer too much of a hangover.
For those who followed the Stronsay grey seal cam last November (I was one of them and was totally enthralled), you may be interested in this report on the Autumnwatch site about 3 seal pups from the Farne Islands making an epic journey across the North Sea: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/natureuk/2011/01/the-incredible-journey-of-the.shtml
Like many others, am keeping an eye on Lily and Phoebe who both could become new mums this weekend :)
Cheers!
Aquilareen: Thanks for that I had an idea someone out there would now. They really are cute and yes I am a Veggie but I do cook meat everyday. I am also surrounded by beef cattle with youngsters ranging from newborns to a year old and their mums a dads and they are all cute as well.
Bus what's a bus haven't seen one in these parts in 9years. I even think our mobile library is a thing of the past.
Me again :)))
Sorry ... forgot to include update on the Dunedin, Florida Osprey Cam. According to the Nesting Notes, they are waiting to install a new camera: http://www.dunedinospreycam.com/index.php?pagecontent=Nesting+Notes+2010%2F2011&user=9&adcode=174
