I went to bed around 9a.m. this morning, having had a shower and done some laundry. I slept until 5p.m. and when I woke up my head was much improved and the change had come through. It was still terribly humid but now it's quite a pleasant temperature and the forecast is for very reasonable temperatures for most of the week! Excellent. If my head is reasonable as well, I should be able to catch up with things (such as comments!)

The filo pie reheats quite nicely (and survived being dropped. Twice.)

There were two king parrots out the back today! We rarely see those. There was a big male gnawing away at the seed bell and a crimson rosella (normally the top of the flock in our garden) sidling along a nearby branch, reaching out, trying to get at the seed - only to have the king parrot turn on him, wings raised, beak open. Very clear message. Then two more rosellas flew in, scaring off the first and a juvenile rosella tried to land on the seed bell, to share it with the king.
Bad move. All the rosellas took their leave at that point. Then the female king parrot started sidling along the branch, craning her neck trying to get some seed - only to have her mate turn on her as well! Greedy bugger. Then something startled them and they both took off with great shrieks.
Maybe it's a good thing the king parrots don't show up very often. At least the rosellas share.
