At our fave air bnb on Wgtns south coast (past Red rocks)

I'll leave it for our hosts

2. Honour my Papa and make something meaningful.

I chose door number 2

He still has an appetite so that's a good sign but we're looking at less than a year with our 'Tumtums'

😢 I wish I could honour this birds life but unfortunately the feathers are too small to weave with
