Stepping into the unknown

 Welcome readers to 2021.  I hope your Xmas break was excellent. Highlight for me a few days camping at Lake Cootharaba. What was yours?    I've successfully resisted taking up a similar position to my previous role.     I'm loving these summer days on the coast and having the time to look after myself.  I'm still share trading, although I haven't cracked the key to success there yet, but I'll persist.  I've been ticking off the types of activities I envisaged I would be doing with all this spare time and loving it.  This morning was pilates with my son at the local gym, followed by a swim and sunbake at home.  This afternoon I might read a book. I'm coming to learn how much we compromise on our quality of life whilst doing 9 -5.   My health has improved as I have the time to prepare decent meals , get enough exercise and rest.   I've been "shooting" a few animals on the property with my daughter's trusty Ni...

No work to think about, time to reflect and learn some new skills. So in that spirit, I plan to do some photography with my new found spare time.  Here's the first shot with my Digital SLR from the back veranda. Extra points if you know what type of bird this is.
