Our son has been busy with his air-brush again. No need to tell you what this one is. I'm told that it measures over two metres. The pic came to me via a mobile phone. I haven't seen it yet. Needless to say we're pretty proud of our boy and look at each other trying to decide whose genes supplied that talent. I've gotta confess that we have absolutely no idea.

The man of the house has just come in from the garden with a couple of lovely ripe figs. How did the corellas miss them? Lucky me. They polished off the plums that the man of the house had his eye on. Gotta be quick when the corellas are in town. I don't use nets as they are such a hazard to the wild birds. The plums aren't so important that we are prepared to endanger the little people that give us so much pleasure.

Bet you think I've forgotten how to knit. Not so, I'm working on a project that's not quite finished. More in a couple of days.

Cuppa tea time I think. Bye for now until next time.

  1. Wow! What else is there to say. Your son is brilliant and I think you guys are a little modest, you may not have his skill with an airbrush but you certainly do have an artistic knack with wood and wool.

  4. Hi Sis, Of corse you know where Stuart's tallent comes from, just look at the things you draw yourself, and those little wooden toys you make, David's art work when he was younger. He turned to music for his life's love, and it all comes from the same clever mother you named this blog after. Mum won an art scholarship when she was at school and David's music came through her from Grandpa. It's a shame I didn;t get a share. My tallent lies in sewing, embroidery and knitting taught to me by -you guessed it- Mum and Nana. I so o o, wish that I had applied myself more as a kid, it was all there I just didn't pick up on it. To anybody reading this -don't waste your potential- build on it, or it will leave you behind.
