I flew the pigeons early this morning, so I could go to Bendigo and pick up the eggs we were offered. So, of course they flew 70 minutes
Half a dozen stock birds thought a dawn fly was a good idea, and two of the small ones had their first big fly, I was thinking I'd never get away.
But just for once, at all came together, everything was in surprisingly quickly and away I went.
It's about 70 miles to Bendigo, and I had the radio on LOUD and cruising along. Thinking I wished Devo was here. He likes driving along in the country here, chatting about this and that.
Got to Davey's place, nobody home.
A minute later Stacey arrives, " He's not here, he forgot he's umpiring football".
So I called him. He's on the field, with his phone in his pocket. "Hang on" He says, " someone's going to kick goal".
A few moments later, "Yea I forgot about this".
He told me which pair in which pen to take the eggs from and slip pot eggs under.
"You know where the key is!"
Amazing

So I got home in time for lunch with eggs which went under a pair, I still have no idea what they are off, but there is a youngster in that pen which is fantastic,
People wonder why I look so much better. I am having fun, that's why
I am missing these Bendingo trips Murray, cant wait to return. We had some great little trips out, great to remember. But better to return.

At last, the truth begins to emerge.
Spain's power grid operator admitted "renewable energy" triggered the collapse of the system.
The "New green deal" will be Europe's ruination.

I hope to be back there soon, with a few day in Singapore to break the travel up.
