birdy num num

After yesterdays barren North view, here is the south side of the house where four yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos are eating unripened peaches. Well, trashing the tree actually. When I got too close they flew and it was beautiful - they are huge and very glossy and their wings flap slowly, wingtips almost meeting underneath their body before the upward flap - it was beautiful.
THIS is where I am, photo taken from cemetery on south side. There was a stone church on the block between this house and the cemetery but only some corner stones remain as it was destroyed in the 1944 bushfires.And here is another pic of the black cockies hanging in the peach tree

My view

The horizon is the Princes Highway at Warncoort. Eight horses have 5 of the acres. They don't belong to my host, but to a madwoman. I spoke with her on the telephone to ask if she was going to bring them some feed.
"I've got a bad leg." was her excuse. Claims she is a dressage coach.
and I'm Liz Taylor I should have replied.
