Jacinta has beaten me to the rank of Abbot. Well done. :) It's amazing how much faster writing interesting nodes will gain you experience compared to general lurking and occasional experiences on the chatterbox.

Winter
Hoorah, the winter solstace as passed. I'm looking forward to fruit and warm days and more eggs. Interestingly enough, even though it's the middle of winter I can still see bees busily working outside my office window, with honey-eaters fluttering around as well. I'm glad that some trees (in this case a wattle) decide to flower in the middle of winter.
