Are they singing?

Or planning their days run?

Surely they don’t do that

What list of things to do?

I hope you’re having an enjoyable weekend so far. I’ve mowed lawns, made some food, chatted with friends, sat with children and today I’m making some love packages and buying frames for my children’s artwork from 2023. If I were a sparrow, would the list of accomplishments matter? I wonder. Sxx

And these awesome grain silo renovations? And then there were these cool chicks recycling materials to make shoes in Uralla on Back Roads.

And to finish off the regional round up - this from the Guardian about regional rubbish tip shops.

And then, what about this as a way to travel more?
