    Front yard planting has been done. The augur to go on the drill worked well & made digging holes one handed much easier. I was very careful to make sure I was wearing gloves.

    A couple of the plants might not have survived the wait, but I planted them anyway in case they are able to regrow from the roots. I’ve just got a few more plants to go in the shady spots and down the side of the house and that will be everything.

    I walked home through the park and took a great pic of the century plants all in flower. They must be at least four metres tall.

    I swear cashew cream is so good. Especially if you don’t have cream on hand or are a bit iffy with it. I soaked my cashews for about 15 min in hot water then just blitzed in the NutriBullet. Perfect!

    Started dragging stuff down but it was heavy and took more trips than I thought… Didn’t pay attention to time so the place shut before I could bring everything down and had to drag one load back home as it rained. Still half to go.

    At least there’s more floor clear because I really need to vacuum

    Question for the wildlife people:: I can hear an owl hooting outside. It’s 2pm. I’ve not generally known owls to hoot at this time, although I know some don’t always sleep all day. Just feeling like a hoot? Injured? Overheating? Normal?

    Very distinct “Hoot-hoo-hoot”. Always in triples, second one slightly shorter (fractions of a second) than the first and last one. It’s been intermittent since I woke up about 8:30. Been going about 15 mins this time

        Omg that’s exactly it! Whichever one lives in the tree seems to only be doing the part from :06-:10

        TIL the thing I’ve thought was an owl I’d actually just a dove! Had no clue they made that noise. Guess I need to brush up on what exactly an owl sounds like. Thanks raven!

          Fun fact: I’m originally from “the country” and had never heard these birds outside of Melbourne. Their sound strongly triggers the memories/feelings of suburban Melbourne which is kinda funny.

          I recommend the Museums Victoria Field Guide app. It has most animals you are likely to encounter, and includes recordings of bird calls.

      For the Android users, there’s a cool app on F-Droid called whoBird that identifies bird songs/squawks. Its ace.
