Sunday morning......cool and beautiful. I walked outside and finally saw a kookaburra in an old gum tree....you know how the song goes.
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, merry merry king of the bush is he,
laugh kookaburra laugh kookaburra save some gum for me.......................laugh kookaburra laugh kookaburra how gay your life must be......
When I was a kid I thought that a kookaburra was some kind of bear and the bush was short shrub and of course gum is what you chew. I had this picture in my head of a bear sitting in a bush eating gum...... Ha ha ha. That is so far from the truth. The kookaburra is a bird, the bush is like a forest and a gum tree is just that....a tree that has the name gum. There is the red gum and the black gum and other different types of gum trees.
I saw my first wild kangaroos this morning. In the front yard..Beth came and got me so I grabed my camera and took some shots.
Sunday afternoon~
The Barbi.....was very good. A few more people popped in for it..more women and more babies. Seven women in all, 3 men (out-numbered) and 9 babies/kids total.
The big thing tonight was watching The Big Brother eviction show. It's huge here in Australia. Just like Survivor was, this was THE show to watch. The version they have here is less censored than in America so you get to see things on TV that would never show up on TV in the states. Wild. The one evicted tonight was a total shock to the veiwers here. *gasp* How could they!

Ha ha! Chris started a bon-fire in the back yard to burn off the bush so thats where the men hung out. With all these babies and kids around I started to get so homesick for my own. By the after noon fatigue hit me so hard I had to lay down for a bit which ended up to be 2.5 hours later. When I finally got up and about...everyone had left...I missed it. Oi this jet lag/time adjust is the pits.
