mines a bit dodgy too. Memory that is ;)

Some of us probably got rained upon a bit much. I have been in Canberra caring for my daughter who landed heavily after hitting turbulence doing some crushing things to vertebra.. Got home after watching constant rain for a couple of days to find that rather than enjoy rain I had broken trees to fix.

I though paragliders had a small motor attached to the back or a boat attached to a rope at the front..

A small motor attached is an ultralight.
The ones that look like a boat underneath
are hangliders

The boat attached to the front are a surf kite of somesort as used in skiing I’ll have to look them up
sort of like a powered windsurfer

Getting the camera back to retrieve the photo might be a task though..

A hot air balloon might be an easier way..

hot air ballon could do it but you’d have to have a powerful catapault to be able to even chuck the camera part of the way up to that height.

Harvested some pears today. Also picked and ate one little fig. Have got some pepino, lilly pilly, strawberry guava and the rest of the figs with fruit but they’re not ripe yet.

Something is getting into the chook pen and nicking the eggs…haven’t been able ot catch anything yet, but I’m guessing it will be our friendly neighbourhood goanna.

As well as pears I picked a couple of rockmelon and a small watermelon. Not sure exactly which variety of rockie they are, as they came in a packet of mixed seed from Diggers, but they are long (sort of like a yellow marrow). They are in the fridge chilling. Might take a piccie tomorrow.

Not taking piccies of the garden beds though…they are a mess after all the rain. I’ve missed out on sowing some summer green manure seed because I didn’t have time to prepare the beds in time, so they’ll have to wait until next month :(

Well I thought it was too. Not an easy thing to do .. to try and compose and shoot while flying a wing. That’s just me saying that.. As I’ve never even attempted to get off the ground.
