Contrary to my Friday report we didn't get to Tidbinbilla today. See, my
busy little Audubons didn't go to bed until 1:30 this morning! Accordingly, they
were late reporting to the mess for breakfast. Tsk, Tsk! In the old Army days I
would charged them with dilly-dallying!
During brunch, they discovered that Constable - impressions of
land sea and sky was showing at the NGA. So, he-who-must-obey
accompanied his little Audubons to the NGA and we loved it. We had
Devonshire Tea in the NGA gardens. Wonderful! Afternoon tea, however, was
interrupted by a pesky little Rufous Fantail that insisted upon performing an
aerial ballet within three metres of our table. Annoying thing!
Emily took delight in feeding crumbs to a bevy of House Sparrows.
Apparently, Passer domesticus does not occur in her Sri Lanka town. A
birdwatcher wouldn't be dead for quids would he/her?
