Approaching the New Year

It is late afternoon on a hot-feeling day in Sydney- 26 with 35% humidity. There is very little breeze. For a change the birds are comparatively quiet and our cockatoos are no where to be seen. I doubt we will go to the harbour fireworks. The population of greater Sydney is over 4 million and around a million and a half head for the harbour area. No doubt the harbour itself will be filled with wall to wall boats. Sounds like a good time to watch them on tv.

The kids are heading down for a quick dip in the pool. Les has discovered the heavy bag in wii boxing and is practicing a bit. The reason is that Lian is currently the boxing champ- she knocked him out in their first encounter. Nothing like the virtual life.

I have finally seen some of the very large spiders that slip into the house from time to time. I am not sure which kind- will try to get a photo- but we are sure it is benign. They are welcome guests in that they eat insects which of course abound.
