Some Carnaby Black cockatoos that came to feed off my Banksia yesterday. #carnaby #blackcockatoo.
Picture of a Carnaby Black cockatoo. The bird is sitting on an electricity cable. The bird is sitting with its back to the photographer, but has turned its head to the right. It has its little crest up on the top of its head. The bird is black and has white cheeks and white tail feathers with black tips. Photo of a Carnaby Black cockatoo sitting on an electricity cable.

Just wanted to share some pictures of the red-tailed black cockatoos that come and feed on my Silver Princess eucalyptus tree. The same family comes with their offspring each year. They will be feeding daily off my tree for the next few months and will give it a good top trim at the same time.
A picture of a large red tailed black cockatoo eating a nut from a eucalyptus tree. The bird has a nut in its beak. The main colour of the bird is black and it has fine yellow stripes across its body. The tail feathers are black with yellow, orange and red horizontal stripes. Ted tailed black cockatoo sitting on a eucalyptus branch eating nuts. The bird is holding the nut with its right foot close to its mouth. The wings and back of the bird are black, the face is black with yellow dots, the front is black with yellow stripes. It has a number of smaller tail feathers that are only just coming out. They are black with horizontal red stripes. The larger tail feathers have a more pronounced horizontal banding and the colours go from yellow to orange to red bands. The bird is surrounded by leaves from the tree. The nuts of the tree are relatively small and of a silver colour.the nuts look like small inverted silver cups.

One hour wait at the haematologist. It’s and open floor clinic, people with active cancer getting chemo and transfusions. Receptionist coughing and snotting, nurse coughing on patients. Not one mask & no air purifier in sight. #mask #covidisairborne #cleanair

Challenge for this year, living life more creatively despite #ME/CFS and #POTS. I am trying macrame while in a horizontal position. Project so far…
Unfinished macrame project. Wooden dowel holding white working cords. Cords of different colours are added to it creating a woven carpet style mat. The pattern is a collection of mixed squares and rectangles of different sizes in yellow,light green, dark green, white, light and dark blue and light and dark red.

Some of my ME/CFS symptoms resemble C19, so I am constantly RAT testing. This year, I will be using the Pluslife Mini dock which should cut down testing. The PlusLife will be a game changer for us.

One of the issues with wearing transition lenses and masks was that the glasses were no longer sitting right. The solution, brand new transition glasses made so that they can be worn with masks.

Testing how to do ALT images. I spotted these during my morning walk.
