Powering on...

Busy day today...walked the dogs of course, then mulched all the bamboo, mowed the back lawn and raked up all the clippings.  Generator shed is built and generator inside - the first stage of Rob's self-sufficient power generation scheme!!  Ross came to collect the shed plans and information and has submitted it all to the shire with the house application - will save us some money to do it all at once.
Happy day with the animals!  Rosellas visited today.  Am getting closer to the 28s with one of them coming in very close to me at the laundry corner of the house and the others getting much more used to feeding while i am around - they do not all fly off when i go to the back yard anymore.  The kookas came back in the afternoon and i was throwing them meat from about 5 metres away.  They are young and i think will be easily tamed.  Also - exciting news of the day... four white cockatoos came to check out the seed - hope they come back!  The baby rabbits also getting very bold in my presence though we don't want to encourage that do we??  By the way - Aussie doesn't help much - today he chased ducklings and an adult duck at Supa Golf, plus my kookas and the 28's in our yard - he was chased home with a beating and lots of growls.

Took all day to copy my docs onto my home laptop (Boy this IT stuff takes AGES!) I was getting worried about the longevity of the Verbatim drive so have made a back up just in case!  Did i mention we now have the domain silkroad.net.au?  .com was not available.

Veges are growing like the radioactive ones on Gilligans Island and the mushies have reached pea-sized (about 5 days later than they should have).  Thats it for today...
