Spring

Spring has sprung in Brisbane. We had a brief period of rain (100mm in a day!) and after that the skies cleared, the temperatures soared and all was lovely. It was perfect for a spot of afternoon mountain biking at Daisy Hill, and Gordy was fired up enough to style it up

(The second photo has had the colours boosted to warm it up - the first gives more of an idea of the sunlight over here)

There was a lot of rustling in the bush as we rode as the goannas were out and soaking up the sun

This means that the snakes are out & doing the same, but after a while you learn not to think about that.

Back in the suburbs the wildlife is stirring too. The magpies are nesting and starting to get aggressive, which means that schoolkids & cyclists are getting nervous. And even the bush turkeys are looking at reaching new heights

It's also planting time on our balcony. We're hoping for a bumper crop of radishes, spring onions, courgettes, mint and chillis
