Oh, my Lin! That makes me tired just to think about. I'm a night owl and make it a policy not to get up until it is light outside. Anything before that is collectively known in our house as "oh dark thirty" and every effort to go back to sleep is made if I wake up then.
Lovely story and pictures, Glen. Looks like a delightful gathering you had, kookaburra included. Well played on the bird diversion.
