Well, it's technically fall here but you wouldn't know it. Our little lagoon is full of newly hatched, juvenile fish so I spent most of this weekend visiting with the new arrivals. The whole reef seems caught up in the excitement of fresh finny faces - everybody is out of their hiding spots and swimming around.
Life abounds!
The islanders celebrated with a big cricket match yesterday,which always makes scootering interesting as the road is considered part of the pitch!
Glad you enjoyed your hoppy holidays!
wow, that sounds like a fab Easter. "I didn't let anyone else mess with the gravy." made me chuckle. Nothing spectacular here. No kids, no eggs, no family celebration, a meal with the folks. A lovely day off with the hub being around home and each other.
