Beautiful Winter's Day

Today is a really pleasant day, and I'm glad I had to be outside to appreciate it.
The sun is shining, and there's a light breeze, and it's possible to wear a t-shirt,
instead of being all rugged up for winter.

There's an old grey tabby cat lying in a patch of sun in the front garden.   Although
it's Tia's territory, I didn't have the heart to move him, as he's a bit battle-scarred
and weary.   Let him enjoy the sun in peace while he can.........

Later I saw a strange light grey patch of something against the mulch in the
garden, and went to check that he was alright.

It wasn't the cat - he'd gone.  There were two ring-necked doves, cuddled up
on their breasts together in the same patch of sun.

The wattle birds are active in the native trees and shrubs, eating insects, and
nectar.    Even my cat Tia, and the chickens are sitting about a metre apart in
the back garden,  enjoying the unseasonable warmth while it lasts.

Over towards the west, there's a cloud bank approaching, so it looks as if
the afternoon won't be quite so pleasant.  

Maybe I'd better go do my deliveries while it's still dry............
