I thought I saw a Christmas in the garage, earlier on...
I've put down some baits so hopefully that'll be the last I'll hear of it.
Disgusting little creatures, I won't have them in the house.. ha ha...

The rain came through early on and the dawn heralded a very pleasant warm and sunny day...
No, wait... that was somewhere else, ha ha ...
Here it was a cold, miserable overcast day...
I was kept company by an old man cockatoo who grew grumpier as the day wore on because no matter which bridge he sat on, the sun refused to come out and warm him... ha ha.
He was sitting in the right spots, so why wasn't the sun being obliging?
Well, hopefully tomorrow it'll be our turn for a pleasant, warm and sunny day, ha ha...
There's a bridge that runs parallel to the pergola roof... step off the roof, land on the bridge... how easy is that? ha ha...
Well, it's a lot easier, as a young cockatoo found out, if there's not an old man bird on the bridge, below, when you're on the roof... ha ha...
I've seen cockatoos do a lot of things, but the old man bird with his head tilted back, looking up at the young bird, growling, and gnashing his beak at him is new to me... ha ha...
Did I say grumpy old man bird or should we take it as read? ha ha...

Seeing as the tape measure manufacturers continue to turn a deaf ear to my suggestion that they send me an assistant, so that I have someone to hold "that" end of the tape while I measure with it, I continue to resort to using somewhat rustic means to measure...
A garden stake and a pencil... ha ha...
At least a garden stake won't fold back on itself when I'm trying to measure a distance between two points...ha ha...
And then there's the pencil...
I have a stub of a carpenter's pencil, it's the perfect size to fit in a pocket.
It's high visibility orange, so there's not too many times that I'll lose it if I drop it, or put it down somewhere...
Not too many times... ha ha...
But if you add an old man bird with a keen eye to the mix... well, I can't say I lost the pencil, because I knew exactly where it was... ha ha.
The birds see into the ultraviolet spectrum, so a high visibility orange pencil is something pretty special.
Food is also something that's considered to be pretty special, so all I had to do was wait a couple of hours, and unashamedly bribe him... and I got the pencil back, ha ha...
