Naturally occurring pure copper is called “native” copper & is formed in veins & fractures by super-heated mineral-rich fluids often associated with volcanic activity. My sample shown below.

Tried to catch a meteor or two early this morning… Nothing spectacular by any means… BUT did manage to get 2x meteors and a satellite in one pic, and a baby meteor in another pic. And was so clear, the Milky Way was pretty speckie, so took that with my phone.

Just had the sprinkler on mainly for the birds to cool down & have a drink … managed to spot 2x honeyeaters!! Using the #BirdCount app I was able to identify them. 😊 Red wattlebird New Holland Honeyeater
Small bird, thin hooked beak, mainly grey colouring with distinctive yellow patches on its wing. Bright white circles around its eyes. Identified as the New Holland Honeyeater. 
It is sitting in a tree full of wet green leaves.  Larger bird, brownish colouring, with distinctive red circles under its wing ”chin or cheek”- not sure birds have chins or cheeks, but it is lower than eyes and not really under the beak. 
It is sitting in a tree with lots of wet green leaves. 
Identified as the Red Wattlebird

Since you're here, I assume you're an online kind of person, but since assumptions can kill, how about I remind you that if you are in Victoria (Australia), you really need the Vic Emergency app for fire and other emergency alerts in your vicinity. Get it wherever you get your apps, now!
Screenshot of the Vic Emergency app showing an example "Advice" alert, telling those in the vicinity of Cabbage Tree, Dean, Wattle Flat, Chapel Flat, Clarkes Hill, Glen Park and Springmount to stay informed due to a bushfire at Melbourne Td, Creswick, on 22 Dec at 1:32 pm. There is a map and a link to click for more details. A tool bar at the top has various search and filter options.

Did you know it’s been 50years if the Rubik’s Cube? To celebrate I organised a lunchtime Rubik’s cube comp! OMG! Did I learn heaps off the kids! Listening to them chat: “algorithms” “J-perms, H-perms” aka - various permutations. Music to my “math teacher” ears! #eduSkye www.rubiks.com/history
