Baboon? Surely that's a scarepigeon.

Scareblackbird - the plums are too big for kereru now. That tree's developed the perfect form for climbing. I remember a similar tree from my childhood where I used to clamber after school and pelt passers-by with plums - it took many visits to the principal's office to cure me of that, it being so much fun an all.

You wouldn't waste the plums now!!

Depends on the passer-by. There are some people I'd pelt, but they don't holiday in Riverton.

A subtle dig at your regular commenter who likes to bang on about ES remuneration? Clearly they pay peanuts.
Happy new year Robert.

Happy new year to you, AC. We've a lovely day down here, for 2013's last. I've been planting Cape gooseberries en masse around my lemonry and put in a pohutukawa beside the entrance to my driveway, having seen how well they can grow here (or at least in Bluff).

Coupled with the prehensile, discretely obscured, tail.
Happy new year to you and those in your household, darkhorse.
