Another day in paradise

Stayed up last night till 2.00am trying to get to sleep.

With no luck,  I sat on the computer and chatted to friends on Facebook with their live chat application.

It was great fun talking to people I hadn’t “spoken” to in ages and it got me thinking to what it was like when I first moved here in the late 80’s.

No email, no work computers, and phone calls were really expensive. Now, I just take it for granted all this technology at my finger tips.

Anyway, as I sat and typed at my desk  with the door open to the garden trying to get some fresh air at some god awful hour of the night, a bloody possum fell out of our peach tree.

I just about died on the spot.

But he was a really friendly wee thing and after recovering from both our shocks I gave him a plum and he sat and watched me type for the next hour or so.

Knowing my luck he’ll come back with about 20 of his mates tonight and kick up a fuss for food!

Just a magical wee moment in the middle of the night that could come back and bite my arse!

Literally.
