For breakfast we went to the MO Wholefood Cafe at Market Organics. As it was raining we drove rather than walk the short distance. Bluey stayed in the car as it was too wet to sit outside. There hasn’t been a large volume of rain here, but the road flooded as the storm water drain at the end of our street was blocked.
Back at home we cleaned pigeon poop from our second floor window sills and sun shades. We had to remove the internal blinds to be able to remove the flyscreens. The awning windows have a limited opening, so we used a rope to pull up the hose to squirt off as much poop as possible. Even after overnight and morning rain had softened the poops, I had to use a dustbroom to remove some stubborn deposits.
While the screens were off I washed the inside of the windows, then the screens before putting them back. I was putting up the first blind when one end dropped out of its bracket. It hit the window ledge on the way down, creating another job!
Since I have to patch and paint, I decided to tidy up poor painting on the window ledge dating back to the original house construction in 2000. That job will take a couple of days as the filler has to dry and be sanded between coats.
I took Bluey to the park and let him have a run off his lead. My neighbour Felicity was taking her 2 and 4 year olds fishing. A friend had advised her to use white bread as bait. The 4 year old was eating the bread while the 2 year old was throwing bread into the river. I left them to it and was heading home when Felicity called me back. She had caught a fish and didn’t know what to do with it! At first I thought the line was just snagged, but she reeled in a small bream. I took out the hook and took photos of her with the catch before releasing it back into the water. None of them wanted to touch it!
We were watching TV and I had to manage both Bluey and Tilly on my lap. Suddenly Tilly lept off my lap and jumped onto the back of Anita’s chair and started grooming her!
