The extra sun

On my way home I spotted an extra sun. It was actually reflection in the sky. And it was also making a rainbow inside the cloud. It looked cool but my little phone was unable to really photograph it.

This morning I bought myself a torque wrench. It's a cheap one but better with than without so to say. It's looking good though.

Hugs and kisses

The mother dove, who is currently sitting on a new set of eggs, having breakfast with one of her other kids. But the kids are now able to find food themselves and mom absolutely doesn't care about them anymore and actually starting pecking at it when she thought it was stealing too much of her food. It's funny how things go in nature.

On the way to Office Works this morning we saw a P plate truck driver.

At Office Works we bought new ink cartridges and a new chair for Nicole. Her old one may be bad for her back so we're going to try this one. It's a rather luxurious leather model (that behaved very unfriendly when putting it together.).

After this we went to a branch of my bank in Norwood that was open on Saturday morning where I took care of some business. We also went to the supermarket there and we saw this little band playing.

Then we dumped our shopping at home and went past Jaycar and Bunnings.

On the way home we drove behind this car with a 'XOXOX' plate. That's a lot of hugs and kisses, the girl who was driving it must've been extremely friendly.

My Jaycar and Bunnings loot for today: Black stuff to paint certain fountain parts with. Some screws. A set of imperial taps to fix the holes in Nicole's chair that were tapped crappy, a little fountain pump, another container for parts and a magazine full of car ads to keep up to speed with current prices.

The cockies

In the morning a small flock of Cockatoos came by again to plunder our walnut tree. They can be quite noisy but they are very beautiful birds. Rather big too.

They pick the walnuts, try to open them and if they can't they drop them where ever. The first time they did this we scared ourselves shitless because they mostly drop them on a metal roof of the shed which is VERY loud...

We met Caroline, Stephen and Lachlan for lunch. It was a nice gig :-)

I continued working on my power supply today doing research mostly but I did want to mount the new transformer. Three times I walked passed a tap and die set at Bunnings and decided against buying it. I felt it would be handy at some point but just not at that time. Today was that time I needed them so we drove down when it started to get dark.

Not many people use these I think because they don't seem to sell at all while the quality ain't that bad at all...

I needed a few taps so I could screw my new transformer onto the casing.

It sits nice and tight now.
