All tucked in.

Its been a long day today and I've just tucked everyone in for the night. Sunny the duck has a safe, new home until she's big enough to brave the chook pen; so after a feed and a last swim in her pond; she's snuggled down into the straw in her little house. Bonnie has had her dinner and is snoozing near the door catching the lovely breeze. And the "girls" have had their coop cleaned out, fresh hay laid down and their food and water topped up. The cockatoos, galahs, corellas, rosellas and grass parrots have all been in for their supper and its growing quieter and darker by the minute.

Its been very hot and humid (translation -  REALLY horrible) but now at the end of the day its cool and oh so comfy..

I have a fig tree, a mandarin, lime, 2 grape vines and 3 small tomato plants to go in tomorrow; biscuits and  peanut brittle to make. But thats tomorrow. Now its just a cold drink and then slip between nice cool sheets and off to sleep.

Goodnight. :)
