Questions:

What do you think of professional motivational speakers?  Do you think they motivate?

I am sure that they motivate some people but I tend to think that for a lot of them it is more about making money.

Do you have a favorite flavor?

No, I don’t.

While out walking, you hear a rustling in some bushes.  What do you think of?

Well, that happens a lot around here and I generally think it is wildlife. It’s not uncommon to hear rustling in the bushes when I take Cindy outside after dark . There will be a thud or a thump and sometimes I’ll see a rabbit or a potaroo shoot past but mostly they remain invisible to me.

What’s your ideal temperature (nature-wise)?   Hot, cold, temperate and mild, humid or bone dry?

Temperate and mild is my weather of choice. I don’t mind rain, especially now I live on tank water. We need the rain to keep our water supply topped up. I don’t like it so much when it is wet and miserable as it has been for the past few days but on the whole I think Tasmania has an ideal climate.

Gratitude:

Some of you may have noticed that I have not been around much for the past few days. That was because Naomi had a long weekend off work and came up to visit on Thursday through Sunday. We have been speaking regularly throughout lockdown but it was nice to get together and we enjoyed sitting up late talking and unpacking some dolls, bears and other toys which will probably be photographed for one or another blog before long.

I got to go out of Sisters Beach for the first time since March. I love it here and I’ve not been unhappy during lockdown but it was nice to go to the shops and stop and have a quick lunch at a cafe in Burnie.

Tasmania now has no active cases of Covid-19 and we have not had a new case in nearly a month so things are starting to reopen and that is something to be grateful for.
