I think it has been about 7 months I've joined the Wu Xing Dao class in Wyoming (Australia). I've received today my Yellow Sash with is the second level, the first being the White Sash that you receive as you first join the school. At the class today, we've been told that next year, we would get to choose between Iron Shirt and Tai Chi, I think I will go for Tai Chi as I need to improve on my internal energy and using softness in my movements, I'm a bit too tensed.
I took a day off work today, I felt unwell yesterday afternoon and had to head back home in the afternoon. I had a headache and got dizzy. Woke up this morning and the headache was still there and now my heel is also aching (plantar fasciitis). It usually settles after a while but not this time. A tight bandage helped with the pain though and I had to keep moving around as staying still for a while makes the pain comes back as soon as I start walking around.
I went in the backyard to check on the Black Soldier Fly Larvae and look what was in the composting section.
A Noisy Miner, there are usually a bunch of them on the fence facing the BSFL bin. They are not after the larvae but hunting the flies that are standing on the Fish Mint leaves.
My bait trap is working fine and I already have some small larvae showing up.

If you are wondering why I'm collecting those oversized maggots: they are complementing the compost worms and can consume several kilos of food waste per day! And on top of that, I'm selling them starting at $15 per 50 grams for people with reptiles, fish or chicken.
I also went and filled up three root pouches with potting mix to plant my black turmeric (Curcuma caesia) and there are still many left so I will be putting them back for sale.
