The view from my "office"

Memories of travel.
Three quarters of the reminders of KLM flights in the 90's/20's going to a new home.

Miss H had her veggie patch destroyed by scrub turkeys on the weekend.

War was declared.

Included in her battle plan is a rubber snake.

But after just two days the magpies are having none of it...

SFO


AC recently reopened so had a nice clean office for a few hours with super helpful and attentive AAngels.







Daybeds are a welcome addition.

Yes. It disappeared yesterday and went down the road and back again today. The people in the two houses directly across (the ogre downstairs and the really nice Rose family) are ropable. Apparently it will be there three times a week. Council approved. Arrives at 8am and leaves around 10pm because it gets jammed in by cars.

Are they ropable because they do or don’t want it

Joe’s kiosk was visited by the police yesterday and no alcohol during the day or they have to have less people

Ropable because for the Rose family it blocks half their view. Their top balcony leads from their bedroom so they don’t use that for guests. The Ogre? Doesn’t block his view so much but he complains just because.

Joes kiosk is the one recently taken over and was the one I said would go gang busters. It was packed on the weekend so not surprising

Its very bright right now. You can see the issue of him getting out.

PERfect weather for a run at Lake Monger this evening

Spent today in vineyards at Pemberton and Margaret River looking for sites to do some pest insect control trials. Pembie is also Avo Central. Trees flowering and loaded up from a roadside stall.

So that's why you were driving when I called yesterday...

Do you mean fumigants? So2f2? Mbr?

No. In-field use foliar insecticides.

MeBr is banned. It’s an ozone-depleter.

Aah right.
MBR still being used at export facilities. We supply and maintain some MBR systems at export terminals

Yes, there are a few specific exemptions.

The main street of Margaret River is undergoing a massive upgrade at present.

Spectacular display of kangaroo paw. At the new northern roundabout entry to Margaret River.

I was surprised to see this bird on our bike ride this morning. You don't expect to see a Turkey wandering through the scrub alongside the Canning River in Perth - and it is not even an Australian brush turkey. The bird was pretty unconcerned by us so I think it is a 'pet' that has wandered out of the big property next to this bike path.

Looks like it needs a bit of fattening up. Check back on it in a few days.

My view, but only for 1 hour....
