In between trying to think of the ‘themes’ of my project (am not going to type my topic because then my boss might google it and discover [miaow] which would mean I would instantly detonate) *groan* I have been playing with the ‘sketch’ Corel plugin and the photo I took this morning of the State Library.

This is the the super-fat magpie that M is going to eventually kill with love.

And the cat home, looking a bit perkier than it used to.

(Just got my camera working on this computer – as if I don’t have enough distractions.)

Another engagement!
Congratulations to my lovely friends Jock and Stephanie on becoming engaged!!

I’ll buy you guys a drink when I get down to Melbourne!

Meanwhile, I continue to battle nature with my weapon of choice…the whippersnipper, fuelled on rooster-caused lack of sleep and rivers of perspiration.

The view from my desk:

M being stalked by the banana bird (formerly known as the Blue Faced Honeyeater):

The little capsicum that I grew, which ended up in last nights ill-fated salad meal.

This is our female guests leg. It and she just returned from a harrowing visit to Fraser Island – where they were assaulted by sandflies. She has had something of an allergic reaction.
