Fluff Ball

Sadly we had to say goodbye to our Melbourne family this morning and were disappointed to hear that after a 3 hour trip by train to the airport they then found out their plane would be delayed by two hours.  It meant that they were travelling for eight and a half hours before they made it home.  That's a big ask for a six and an eight year old.  We were relieved to receive a text from Sid just after 9.30pm to let us know they had just arrived back at home.

Just after breakfast we were all entertained by this exquisite little Yellow Breasted Robin who spent ages at the bird bowl.  I think it must have jumped in for a bath about 15 times.  As you can see it was quite sunny and I think the water was warm.  I had earlier cleaned all of the bowls out with a scrubber and refilled them so the water was no doubt delicious.  Nothing like a bath in tank water :)
