Wednesday 17th December
Yesterday the
storm loomed a second time
And the hail came crashing
down.
I feel so sorry
for the cherry farmers…and for anyone who might have planned a jolly al fresco
entertainment for the late afternoon.
Our own al fresco
entertainment at the Waterworks went ahead regardless of the icy wind whistling
through the stone shelter. We had all of
the shutters shut and we huddled around the table, eating as quickly as
possible.
We are however True
Tasmanians so we were resolutely cheerful.
The local
kookaburras were also very cheerful.
They serenaded us most raucously, and gathered around to eat the scraps. Yes they are splendid birds but I regard them
with a jaundiced eye. They don’t really
belong on the island; they invaded a few decades ago, flying south and colonising
ruthlessly. They have chased away many
of our more delicate small birds and really – they are a pest!
So why haven’t I
made any progress in my 6-kilo quest??
