My break is over. Lunch is had. Walk is walked. Farfetch'd has been fetched. I've caught three and will just have to be content with that. Here they are: The first farfetch'd hid out in a local pokemon gathering point where the pokemon just don't show up on the scanner. For some reason he thought I should not pass, so I stuffed him in a pokeball, and went looking for the next one. It helped that he needed improvement in battling.   The second one was just a short walk up the path - in another blind spot on the scanner, although, granted, these guys will occasionally show up as being 'nearby'. This one also needed to improve in battling. The third one was a surprise. I took a diversion up a path near another local pokestop. There are usually 3-4 pokemon along here, and they never show up on the scanner, so I thought I'd give it a final check, even though there'd been no farfetch'd there on the trip out. ...

I can never tell what I'll find when I head out of the house. This fine afternoon, I found a pair of eastern rosellas, but only one of them would oblige me by sitting long enough to sit still for a photograph or three. He looked very handsome in the afternoon light, even when preparing to fly. I encountered them on another walk - this one in the morning but, as soon as I turned the camera towards them, they took wing. Here's all I got.
