gemfyreJust washed Not-Bob for the first time, weird, I'm used to washing the Swift and Not-Bob is larger and different shaped.
Then watched a male magpie feeding a (very noisy) juvenille. He'd scurry over the grass and grab something and it was an earthworm!! He did this multiple times. I'm amazed earthworms are that close to the surface to start with but the magpies know precisely where they are and BAM!, worm for the kids. Baby magpies make the funniest sounds when they're fed too. The baby was grabbing the odd bug and stuff but dad was catching the best tidbits. They started nextdoor, then made their way across our yard then flew over the fence and ran across the road to the next house to join a female and another young, I assume they were all the same family.
Matt was gonna come over for dinner tonight like usual, but this morning he remembered he was going to the cricket today. I vaguely recall him mentioning something like that but it seems we both forgot. Ah well, he will hafta wait till Friday to see the full hair effect thingy. Wow, even _I_ don't know how it will look when it's done. I have vague ideas but that's about it, I hope it looks cool when it's all done. :)
