Travelling and sparrows

We have just spent a great couple of days in Echuca for Uncle Chris' 60th. The weather was beautiful and lots of relatives made the journey including the entire bunch from Perth. I got to see cousins I have not seen in over 30 years.
I believe everyone had a really good time catching up.

After taking Monday off to drive back from Echuca, taking in a winery and olive farm on the way, I was catching a plane Wednesday morning to Sydney and staying over night for a work forum. I had to speak on the Thursday and am happy to say that while slightly rushed I did not do too bad. Possibly the first time I had to talk to 150 people from infront of a lecturn!

The sparrows?

Well a family of sparrows has made a nest in my clothes line and I could hear peeping coming from inside there this morning, so we made a trip to get a webcam to film inside my clothes line. We have been able to see mum and dad bird coming and going and 3 large beaks popping up ready to feed. I think its fantastic and the girls have been watching the screen to see the beaks appear. The joys of technology.

Wow! we were doing some more research on Echuca after the big bash and found your blog. It was great to catch up with the whole clan again after so many years. Jim
