FROM A BRAVE
I am in bed on the side verandah so my view is different again to-day. I can see several hydrangea bushes covered with flowers in neighbouring gardens and their delicate shade of blue is very sweet. The sparrows are taking shelter from the heat in the cabbage-tree in our front garden and, judging by the noise, they seem to be having a heated argument. Every now and then a blackbird or a thrush hops across the lawn to have a look at me, and they are so tame that they will come quite close to my bed. The starlings that were building their nest in the corner of the verandah when I was last out here seem to have taken flight with their family, as I have not seen them about. -RED STAR,
