1. Tomorrow Vanessa ships off to Germany to be a writer in residence and I painted this for her to take with!
2. This chicken kept escaping from the yard, which set me off on a meat eating crisis( documented here in comic form).
3. Tutored a knitting class with some really awesome kids at the Penrith Regional Gallery and we made these little knitted aliens after being inspired by the current exhibition(which is awesome: check it out, it’s well worth the time to get out of Sydney, and the god awful heat of the hellish western suburbs, it’s such an amazing exhibition, and the gardens are soooo amazing).
4. Realised that I am on the verge of having a bear collection. Great.
5. Finished comic rehab. Realised that I’m better than I give myself credit for.
6. Grew these flowers from seed! It was so satisfying!

I love my bitch. She is so adorable.
Warning: wee talk. This warning is for the fragile and non dog/cat/baby owners and those who like to pretend that bodily functions do not exist(I sometimes belong to this former category when feeling fragile).
Lately she has, since she’s a senior citizen and entitled to such eccentricities, stopped weeing in the morning when I get up, and just goes to find a quiet and dark place to resume her lay in. And then when I try to make her wee she refuses and holds it in for her afternoon walk.
We’ve taken to the strategy of almost re-toilet training her, giving intense praise upon deposit of wee in the backyard as though she has solved some really complicated stuff or something.
She was also rewarded with a new tag, in honour of her 11+ years service to the world. I love this hound.
