Cloudy and Mild Sunday

It is the rainy time of the year here so the showery weather we are getting today is to be expected. It is about 28 outside with a glorious breeze blowing through the house. It is a shame the breeze doesn't get into the Computer Room but the ceiling fan is whirling above as I type. We have had a couple of short sharp showers today. It is humid but the breeze makes it a very comfortable day indeed.

I was able to bottle another brew this morning to replenish supplies.

This morning these two Pee Wees were making a heck of a racket on the clothes line in the backyard. Then there was a magpie sitting on the pool fence and this disgusting creature swimming around in the pool (see below)! So I am not sure what the Pee Wees were cross with, the cane toad or the magpie. Cane Toads were introduced to eat insects (cane beetle) which were attacking the sugar cane many years ago. Now the cane toad itself is a declared pest. It is poisonous if eaten by other animals.

The cane toad has now passed away unfortunately, blunt instrument trauma I think is the name for its method of death.
