A. Morning Musings

6:15 am It is incredibly peaceful. There is an Eastern Whipbird in the vicinity as well as a few twittering sounds. I was curious to see if it would be foggy in the early morning, but it is not.

I bought the current issue of Scientific American yesterday and am about to spend the morning reading through the articles.

Chores: Set out garbage bin in early morning. An accessor is scheduled to view the property at about 4 this afternoon.

11:10 am This is a very quiet part of the world. I am curious how I will feel about it after a few days. At the moment I am liking it. I have had a good look at the Scientific American issue and have opened up a history book, "In Search of the Dark Ages".

A couple of days ago I noticed reference in a magazine to a software backup package for Windows called Genie 3.0. I want to see if I can find more information for this on the Web. Here is a promising URL: http://www.genie-soft.com/ .

So far this morning we have seen numerous Noisy Friarbirds, Eastern Yellow Robins and Lewins Honeyeaters. Also some Silvereyes and a Red-browed Finch. We then spotted a Scarlet Honeyeater (lifer) and a Satin Flycatcher.

8:30 PM I have begun reading "In Search of the Dark Ages". The first chapter sets out an overview (the book covers about a thousand years, from the time of the Roman invasion to the Battle of Hastings in 1066). The first chapter is about Boadicea, a woman who led a revolt against the Romans in AD 60.
