<p>Sydney Australia, expat American, can't believe my luck to be Australian, too. Ex-wife deserves credit for getting me here: Never going to return (at least not after my parents pass).</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Rabbitohs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Rabbitohs</span></a><br /><a href="https://aus.social/tags/NRL" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NRL</span></a><br /><a href="https://aus.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>photography</span></a><br /><a href="https://aus.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>books</span></a><br /><a href="https://aus.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>music</span></a><br /><a href="https://aus.social/tags/movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="ta

I&#39;ve been leaving out some food for the magpies that visit, and today, when I went to check the bowl, found *somebody* had added some berries. Are they for me? (Not gonna try, but, thanks, Mags.)

@omarzeyada18 He&#39;s not great at sharing, but there were two after I took this photo, so maybe a girlfriend. I haven&#39;t learned to distinguish who&#39;s who yet, but get visits from sunup to sundown. They have a lovely fluting song. Next time, I&#39;ll try to get a video with sound up.

Holiday&#39;s last day @kimsbeachsideretreat. Couldn&#39;t have been more relaxing, welcoming, and much-needed, even when the weather didn&#39;t fully cooperate. #kimsbeachsideretreat has super accommodations and great food, and everyone is friendly and helpful. (Even supplied an umbrella for the torrents of rain we experienced today. So thoughtful and thorough.) Well-recharged for my return to a toxic work project next week, and the fights to come.
