No riding this Saturday! After last night’s icy cold winds and three days of almost constant rain, neither of us felt like getting up and going out on the bikes — and besides, it’s been nearly three weeks since we visited the markets, there’s half an eggplant left in the fridge, and that’s about all…
A bit of grocery shopping, a bit of breakfast, a bit of housework. Mind-boggling interesting stuff. Stuff that just has to be done sometimes.
An eerie creaking call made us look up while hurrying around the markets — a flock of twenty or so black cockatoos were circling overhead. I’ve never seen them in the suburbs before, just sometimes heard them in the forest further up the river. The call almost reminded me of the herring gulls in England.
