Computer problems solved but not promising photos yet - we don't believe in instant gratificatication! Another first - managed to skype Brian this morning at 8.30am - 11.30 pm with him. Tried to skype Carol but she wasn't online which was really surprising. Hope she was getting a good night's sleep and not out partying! Very successful day so far as we followed the computer stuff with a trip to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
This was a great trip as we encountered all sorts of interesting animals and even had a chance to cuddle a koala. We do have a photo to prove it! We were thinking of adopting a koala - Jim brought the rucksack for the purpose - they seem to be less bother than children as all they do is sleep and eat eucalyptus leaves. In fact my koala looked pleadingly into my eyes but the carer allowed me no time to really bond! Later we realised that they are very noisy when they talk so maybe it's for the best. The wombats were very sleepy but the adult dingo was extremely voluble and aggressive. We took photos of a cassowary, some emus, wallabies, kangaroos, a barn owl, me feeding lorikeets, crocodiles, lizards etc. Since the beginning of the trip Jim has compiled quite a number of photos of lizards of varying sizes and then he tells me today that he's not that fond of reptiles! We saw varying snakes and frogs and finally after a few visits a platypus. All in all a very satisfying morning and early afternoon. Who knows what the rest of the day will hold - not Jim anyway. I'm off to plan something else!
Should we be planting a eucalyptus tree in your garden then? While there is still an r in the month?
ReplyDeleteOr should we break regulations and bring back a small one?
