BellycanIt seems that word of Mr Seed has spread to the rainbow lorikeet community.
On this morning's walk to the shops, a few swamp hens (NZ: pūkeko) were close enough to the path for me to see them well. They were grazing around the old Toronto train line which runs between the Greenway path and a wetland reserve.

Had a couple off days of rain but the past 24 hours? Well - had 82cm of rain, wind gusts up to 104kph, thunderstorms...⛈️ 💨The low-pressure system that deepened off the coast is supposed to move away soon - thank goodness!
My water tank (which was empty) is overflowing despite doing three loads of washing.
See that tiny red splotch (indicating really heavy stuff) - that's where I live 🚣♂️

There was a pause in the rain, so I wandered around the corner to the bottle shop – and to see who was waiting for Mr Seed to feed them. Little corellas today, somewhat wet and bedraggled and floofed up by the breeze.
Well I managed to finish my KAL Mobius Strip Cowl in the allotted time.
The hardest part was Kitchener stitching the tube.
My arthritic hand coped...lol...but my thumb is kind of sore.

An arthritis flare-up in my left hand, especially my thumb, had stopped me knitting for the past 5 weeks.
I started my cowl for Skein Yarn’s Accessories KAL on 1st June. The KAL finishes 31st July.
Last night I knitted a few rows without too much pain. Big question - can I do the remaining 49 rows then Kitchener the ends together by then?
(Yes, I'm using my beloved DPNs, I honestly don't like circular needles...lol).

The street chicken has been visiting my front yard a lot lately, setting off the cameras...

Coming home from the shops this morning, and I see that the latest sucker has drawn a crowd with his free seed. Mostly sulphur-crested cockatoos, with the odd little corella and long-beaked corella.
Toronto NSW has a really nice Japanese restaurant called Umi. A simple little place opposite the post office, with really good food. I usually go for a donburi (either salmon or mixed don).
They have a new menu. The have something they call Black Ramen. The ramen is not black, the ramen is in a rich pork broth with black garlic oil. I had the pork chashu black ramen last night. This here empty bowl is the point at which I could stop to take a photo of it. Yum!
