I am pleased to report that I have had no problems with birds protecting their nests by diving on me during my bike ride over the last two days. This is most likely because it has been so wet I haven't been able to get out for a ride. Another 38 mls in the rain gauge this morning giving us the grand total of 55mls (or over 2" in the old scale") over the last two days.99% of these birds giving me a hard time means they fly within a couple of metres of me so it isn't at all dangerous. Most of the birds are usually smaller ones and are not a problem.
The average annual rainfall for Caloundra is about 63" per year. Up to this morning we have had over 72" of rain so far this year and we still have the best part of two wet months to go. If things go according to 'averages" we can expect another 8" of rain up to the end of 2010. The weather people are expecting rainfall 'greater than the average' for the remainder of 2010.
And we are to get two new sets of neighbours, one on either side. The young couple to the left as you face our place have bought a 5 bedroom place north of Maroochydore. He enjoys his music and they are planning to increase their family. The current little house is totally unsuitable for them. They popped in yesterday and asked us to witness their signatures on a sale document. They leave in about one month.
Meanwhile on the other side there has been a marriage breakup. He has already gone and the wife and two little kids are moving out in a about 10 days.
It would be great to get some 'older' neighbours with whom we can relate. We will just have to wait and see.
I enjoyed the joke below!
