Who knew? It occurs to me that it’s been a very long time since I posted anything that wasn’t to do with video games and it’s just wrong for nelefans to be unaware of all the wondrous things happening at Nelefa Towers. So here goes. We returned to Scotland from Australia in early January. Australia

I’m getting a little lazy about updates, aren’t I? The fact is – I’m not sure where this myth about the laid-back Aussie lifestyle comes from – I’ve been run off my feet for weeks. I start a new job on Wednesday, doing Network Support for a company in the Upper Hunter. Looking forward to

Specially for MattS, this one 🙂 We went for an expedition to Chichester Dam today and there was a whole gang of kookaburras staking out the picnic area. Here’s one of them, perched on the litter bin as if to say “don’t even think of chucking that away – the scraps are MINE!”

Woke up this morning to what sounded like fifty kookaburras having a comedy show in the yard. Starting to associate the sound with nice weather now – right enough, when I dragged myself out it’s glorious sunshine with the sky a deep cobalt blue as far as the eye can see. Got about a dozen
