Sam and Joseph painted goal posts on the fence this afternoon and our chook was intrigued by the backyard expedition! And the internet went down again at home and now it has just come back, - weird! Speaking of coming and going I am wondering if the pesky rats are back, there have been rustlings . .. I drew a line in the dirt for those naughty rats last week and it appears they have crossed it big time if they are the cause of the phone line going dead! I am now making diabolical plans which I hope will make them wave a white flag of surrender. . .

In other happier news the lovely Jodi Wiley kindly interviewed me on her Art by Wiley blog, which will be up tomorrow. The only furry creatures there are the friendly picture book variety! The photograph of me was taken by Olga Bennett, have a look at her beautiful work here.
