It was ANZAC day on Sunday, and because I live in Victoria it was a public holiday, instead of having it on Monday.
On the up side this meant I could go a visiting.
My family and I went to Cockatoo which is in the hills outside of Melbourne. Lots of windy roads, and trees. It would've been beautiful if it wasn't so wet and cold. Well, it still was beautiful.
My uncle lives in Cockatoo with his young family. His oldest daughter, 5, was sick in bed. Poor little thing, she is better now though. Got an award at school yesterday!
The youngest boy, 3, was a bit shy when we first got there. He'd walk around with his eyes closed. I think he thought if he can't see us then we weren't there!
At one point he was sitting on his dad's knee, next to me. He had this little robot/transformer type bird toy thing that he called a Pooh Pooh Bird. It was explained to me that the Pooh Pooh Bird flies around and does pooh on things, and people and you can't wipe it off. This is when the Pooh Pooh Bird did a pooh on my keyboard (I had my computer with me). "Oh no, Pooh Pooh Bird, not on my keyboard!" I exclaimed. I then said to my young cousin, "I hope Pooh Pooh Bird doesn't pooh on me!" (Of course then he had to.) My young cousin aimed the bird at me, getting closer and closer. "No Pooh Pooh Bird! No Pooh Pooh Bird!" I cried, but to no avail. "Pthhhh" said my cousin as Pooh Pooh Bird poohed on me. He then proceeded to hover Pooh Pooh Bird over his dad's coffee, "Pooh Pooh Bird poohed in your toffee dad," he said clearly pleased with himself.
After that he came out of his shell and showed me some of his other toys and how he could play games on the computer. He is very good on the computer for a 3 year old let me tell you!

Fortunately I have never come across a mechanical Pooh Pooh Bird. 
My great-nephews will be coming for Mother's Day. I'm really looking forward to it. They are 2 1/2 and 5.
Is your summer over?

Fortunately I think the Pooh Pooh Bird is one of a kind. A very rare Australian species found only in Cockatoo.
It's actually Autumn here. The weather is much cooler, though still not at winter levels. We've had a couple of nice sunny days this week. (Couldn't have been nice on Sunday, now could it
) Yesterday morning it was foggy and rather cold, but fined up.
Winter starts in June.

Yes a very rare breed of bird. Crapula Capa (S--- head), for it's scientific name, is well know for nest in the heads on 2 and three year old boys. Though rarer sometimes it nests on the heads of girls as in my sisters case.
Anyone who has had an younger brother or sister with this condition would know that the scientific name is completely justified.
