A wonderful bird is the pelican

Today I did a minor circuit of Sydney Park. En route I came to a realisation ie I'm not ready to ditch the crutch which is why the circuit ending up being minor. Once home, a dose of anti-inflams and a lie down restored my equilibrium and using the crutch will maintain it. In the meantime M is doing everything in prep for The Little Family coming over for lunch.

In spite of the twinges I was thrilled to bits to see a pelican in the park's wetland. It swam quite close to me, probably in the hope of a handout, and for all its lack of natural beauty, I thought it looked nice on its weed-laden pond, with the sunlight doing a bit of a dapple.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Will catch up when everyone's gone home.
