I want to have my cake and eat it too.

Nobody is perfect.
Nobody will ever be perfect for someone else.

But bits of many people can provide all the parts of a perfect person, and most are perfectly willing to accept the flaws as well.

So - why is it not the acceptable thing to have a lot of people, and enjoy the little bits of perfection in them all?

Shit!

It's Wednesday isn't it?

Bugger.

I forgot. I was meant to go to RSPCA today.

It's now 10:15, we usually finish 10:30/11'ish anyway so it's not really worth my while going in.

:( No Jeri for this week.

Better ring 'em and apologise profusley.

...Thus proving that I am the mad birder type.

I'm wet. And I've lost my sunnies.

But that was a decent run of Maurice Hamer Park. All we needed were the wood ducks, white-eyes and blue-bills and I would have pretty much every species of duck I've ever seen in the wild. First time I've seen the pink-ears on Herdsman. Lots of them around today, along with quite a few shovellers.

Just as I was driving there, near the Brady/Powis intersection I saw a bird swoop over the road. I figure it must have been a bird of prey because it had a smaller bird struggling in its claws. Deduction says that was either a hobby or a peregrine. Let's hope it's the latter. :)

Saw three night herons - I think it's because I know where to look these days.

Large groups of coots grazing. I stood still near some and they came right up to me. I think they thought I might be bearing food.
