The pee wees chicks are thriving. Starting to lose most of their down
feathers now and should be flying in two weeks or less. I am feeding them
Aussie beef sausage mince and they love it (glad something likes the
revolting stuff) and water from a pink straw. They tell me in no uncertain
terms when they are hungry and can even tell me if they want food or water.
They also chirp sweetly when I stroke them.
Was going to say a while back i was glad to see Robert Fisk mentioned. A
journalist I admire. I look forward to reading some of David Marr's features,
too. It is just Australia (or me) or do others see a close affinity between
journalism (quality writing of, I mean) and poetry?
Also, Alison, hope your difficult novel is not being too difficult. I am
ignoring mine a little right now although I must admit I never thought I
would have to do so much research and hard thinking, even when I expected it
would take a lot of research and thinking.
best
