For The Curious Amongst You

These are a couple of the little time wasters that have been keeping me busy, just so's you know they were not a figment of my imagination, used to excuse my absence from Blogland.

If you take a good look at the surface on which the Duckies are standing, you will perhaps realise it is part of my one time Eucalyptus tree, that grew too big for its boots (or roots!) and met its demise in the early part of last year. I did blog about the whole episode, but despite my trolling through old posts, I can't for the life of me find the relevant one. For those newcomers to napple notes who missed it, I kept a couple of large chunks of the bole to use as garden seats. They have weathered as you can see, with large sheets of curved bark now detached to show an interesting striation on the uncovered trunk. How could I not share such a snippet of useless information with my Blogland buddies? Just the ticket for a woeful Wednesday, after my earlier ticket tale...

P.S. I just found the tree felling post here, if any newcomers want a gander (to keep with the birdy theme!)
