Spring is in the air.

 It’s nearly September. How did that happen? 

I saw a sparrow with a piece of grass in her beak the other day, so I think spring is starting to move the birds. I have seen blackbirds “discussing” territory too. I always find them quite amusing to watch.

On Sunday we took the drone along the coast a bit further to try some fishing. It’s been so long since he used it that Eddie had a bit of trouble remembering what to do. We got it out ok and back again, so that was good. He had set up the drone before getting the line ready, so that the drone started to tell us that it's battery was getting flat. So I think the moral of that story is to set up the drone last. No fish as we didn’t leave the line out for very long. It started to rain with a cold wind, so we came home again to the sunshine. Weird as we were only about 10 km from home. Better luck next time.

We have decided to be back on the road in November for a few weeks and then park up at Matamata for the summer break. Camping grounds are very expensive at that time of the year, so we try to avoid them if we can.

A pretty bush in flower at the moment. 
I have no idea what it is called.
