Max, I was reading about Lake Mead. Bodies from the 1970s and 1980s; one stuffed into a metal barrel, with a bullet hole in the skull. In due course there'll be a spooky book about it.

Yes, I had my flu shot just yesterday morning, and no after affects at all: The weather is cooling, though we rarely reach freezing-point in this part of Queensland - maybe one night every couple of years, and then the local media is full of it, asking for reader's photos, which they never pay for. As a photographer who sells photos for money, I never send free photos in. I think the days of the news photographer are over, with so many folk simply whipping-out their phone at the first hint of anything unusual.

The really brightly coloured birds, like parrots, tend to be sedentary, though we do get some that have annual migrations, such as the Rainbow bee-eaters.

LOL about the meat platter. So many things from recent memory are becoming history.

Susan, a few years ago I was asleep in the motorhome in a wooded area, and a huge tree limb broke with a loud crack, hit the ground on its end, bounced up, and landed again on the bonnet (hood) of the vehicle, denting it and breaking the windscreen.
You better believe that I and the two dogs leapt outta bed. I never park right under a tree for precisely that reason, but when the branch actually ups and rebounds right at the motorhome, there's not a lot to be done.
