You have captured the spirit of the Aussie summer beautifully with your words Mannie and your description of the Lorrikeets is perfect, they are such gorgeous little birds and full of chatter. Like this very much.

See you have aged overnight Mate - still a good looking bloke though :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks Nev & Mauzie, but no, not a sonnet. That Bloke is Krissi, my best Mate, travel companion and grandson ... :D

G/day Manfred,
You paint a picture of early summer, when after a long winter we crave a bit of warmth again. (for awhile anyway)

Cheers terry
