I think I may have written something in the past about those Bund meetings. Can't remember when! But I am sure I will write more about them in the future. I am very glad you liked it.

While I can understand your interactions with Rocky I think you'll find a Goose is a tad more discerning. If we cough, sneeze or f*rt too loud our goose, Lucy will have fits. And that's from outside the house. On the positive side any arguments are now conducted soto voce and in general our house in Sth Hobart is far quieter. (On the negative side, I don't play the radio anymore, and her poos near the back door are just a bit off) We got the goose to help save our free-range Guinea Pigs from cats. Didn't really work but the local youths who used to wander casually into our backyard and check if my motor-bike was tied down were very impressed. They said, "hey Geese make great watch dogs" and haven't been back in a year. They didn't give a damn when I said "hey, look at the CCTV camera I've got!" So thumbs up for Geese and Rocky!
