ants

no, not the little annoying black things that invade kitchens but my g/son anthony has been staying with me for the last few days.  he came down to help me move my bedroom around and do a few other household jobs that i can't do on my own.  we have had a great visit and i'm taking him home today.  he would have come last week but the family had colds and coughs so i kept away.  we moved my bedroom and spare room around the first day and i thought i wouldn't be able to walk next day but after a very good sleep i was fine.  the second day we did some more cleaning and went for a nice walk.  over an hour along the river and i was exhausted afterwards. we saw a huge water rat and i nearly died and a kookaburra.  he came with me to do roadie duties friday night and we didn't get home until very late.  yesterday we went to see a movie and took another walk when we got home.  not as long as the other day but very nice.  i'll miss him when he goes home.  he's great company
