    Hi Peeps. Just about to get on a plane back to Melbs. Have missed you all.

    Update

    DIL has pupped out 2ndkid, and had surgery immediately after for other issues. Both doing fine. DIL’s mum is present and will be doing the 1stkid wrangling from now on for a bit. So I’m not needed. Thank gods for the German health care system - it’s been a joy to navigate compared to here.

    Taking the Minipeelers and MrExPeeler to the Aquarium tomorrow. Never been before so it should be fun! Still exercising daily and managing a minimum 6,000 steps per day. No doubt will do more than that tomorrow!

    Hardly any updates because SILs home is in a 5g deadspot, and their Optus WiFi isn’t routing properly and won’t let me access Lemmy 😂 I have to go for a walk a few streets away to see your beautiful posts lol

    Having a great time though! I’ve seen so many insects and birds.

    I think this is a Giant Grasshopper

    I haven't been able to ID this one

    Partner says it’s a Spitfire but spitfires don’t look like that, and Google lens says it’s a US moth except they’re not in Aus

    Wind on rubbish collection day is always fun. I picked up a bunch of wrappers blown into the corner of the yard, but Mr Woof made off with an empty chocolate wrapper before I could stop him. It was a catch and release, I can now see it blowing around the back yard. I also picked up the instructions for how to install hybrid floor boards that have presumably escaped from a nearby building site.
