Staying ‘Up Over’ for a while.
Swell 2024.
So...last Sunday Will and I headed to the coast for the annual Swell Sculpture Festival at Currumbin Beach on the Gold Coast. It was quite a trek there and back in a day (about 8 hours driving all round)

Back home.
So...I have been back since Friday. I think I am over the jet lag now. The weather has been unseasonably hot for the end of Winter/ the start of Spring. The possums and a few wallaroos are still around and seem to still remember me. There has been another Koala sighting on my wildlife cam and we have a new Rooster! The hens are laying again and we are getting about 5 eggs a day at the moment. I have missed the wattle flowering up here and the blossom on some of the fruit trees but there are a few fruit trees still in flower. The mossies are back and we had one pesky one feasting on us last night that we couldn't hunt down. I am back in work this week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning. Hope I can remember what my log in password is and what to do!
