Golden brown...

You know you're living in the country reason 184:

You go to the school disco and they play "I'd Like To Have a Beer With Duncan" by Slim Dusty...

And all the kids (even the little 5 year olds) know all the words. You know this because they are all singing along!

Went for a drive with Nevryn yesterday, it's amazing to see how the landscape has changed so quickly. Only a few weeks ago we had green rolling hills. A few weeks before that a patchwork of different crops. Different shades of green mixed with squares of golden canola. Now it's all golden brown and dry with the fields full of hay bales and a few sheep chewing at the stubble. The bird life has changed too. Lots of cockatoos right now and more kookaburras than before.

Oh and my potato plants have sprouted through the soil, which for some reason makes me rather happy.
