Besides Norman, we have a bird family setting up house at our place too! Mudlarks or Peewees
have been beavering away for about 3 days now, collecting mud and straw and building a nest. It's
right in front of our kitchen window so it makes kitchen chores a bit more interesting. You can see
the sky looks pretty ordinary too, we've had a fair bit of rain over the last fortnight and it's still
hanging around. There are no other birds in the yard as Norman (the new dog) feels that he needs
to regularly chase them away.

Then there's Norman ... He's learnt very little in the month we've had him but he's definitely more
settled in his new surroundings. The courtyard is starting to resemble a mine site, he likes to burrow
through the ground cover in search of the lizards that he fixates on. His behaviour in public leaves
a lot to be desired - kids on pushbikes, kangaroos, hares are just a few that he is totally intolerant to
their presence. The program for Norman's socialisation has slipped back as I need to learn more
patience! However he has undoubtedly endeared himself to both David and I.
