    No Kookaburras today.

    It’s been raining overnight and it’s all good – there’s green everywhere and it shut the kookaburras up. Sent off my first job application yesterday and registered with a couple of agencies, so that’s the ball rolling. I also have a shot of a car...

    Squawk!

    Kookaburras. Bane of my life. It would be less annoying if they didn’t sound so damned funny. Yeah, they wake us up every day, but they wake you up laughing so you can’t really complain. Anyway, there’s a thunderstorm rattling away at the moment. The...
