Invasion

Southern blackbacked gulls, Larus dominicanus. There must have been nearly 200 of them out the back, either feeding in the newly ploughed paddock, or resting on the grass beyond.

Not well today. Instead of making my evening meal yesterday I went to bed before five o'clock and slept until about 8am. Had a cup of tea and went back to bed. Fortunately last week I made a special brew of light, but nourishing soup to put in the freezer so I had a good lunch. Now I'm cooking a meal, but I don't feel hungry. Bed seems more attractive.
