Sunday was Jason’s birthday. A few friends and family were
coming round for lunch. Elissa sent us out of the kitchen so she could prepare
lunch, so we went for a walk up to the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens to see what
we could see.
On the pond there were ducks, and in the trees there was a
kookaburra.
We also went up to Gwen’s to look at the gardens, where we
saw a little blue bird on the lawn.
We’d seen these on our trip to the Pyrenees yesterday, but
had been unable to capture a pic of one – they move around like nobody’s
business! It’s called the Superb Fairy Wren, which just makes all the other
fairy wrens feel inadequate.
On the way back we stopped in again at the Shedshaker for a
cooling beer – I tried four of the ones that I hadn’t had on the previous
visit, including one called Breakfast Lager, and a chocolate stout. Then we
returned for lunch. Folk were arriving as we turned up, and lunch got underway.
