Today

 We had a very wild night last night with lots of wind and rain. This was the ferry berthing this morning.
It was Johns birthday but here he is at work in the kitchen making breakfast, such a dear man.
The weather got worse for a while and this was the ferry leaving, I am so glad I wasnt on it.
Things cleared up after lunch and we called up to see Bernard Stonor and I bought a piece of glass from him, lovely little toadstools, it is all wrapped so a photo later. I took a photo of this old man kangaroo and a galah just outside his studio.
We called up to friends with some biscuits to go with a chat and a cup of tea and then as we arrived home I saw these turkeys, I hope not some ones Christmas dinner, they tend to be wild on the Island as there are no foxes and the only predator would be goannas who might eat young chicks and eggs and perhaps an eagle or hawk.
It poured with rain all morning, not nice to go out in so I sewed and John was on the computer. It is still remarkably warm and a bit sticky at the moment.

We are going down to the pub for dinner to celebrate his 76 years, hope the food is ok, it was last year but you never know from one year to the next.
All in all a pretty restful day, but tomorrow I hope the weather is better and we can walk a beach.
