Stormy evening WOW

This little wombat is on a glass coaster, a gift from my friend Sandra when we attended the National Folk Festival in Canberra last year. I don't know how it's printed - screen or transfer - but it's cute.

Sydney is in the spring storm season now......we had storms last week, lots of thunder and lightning but very little rain. More lights and music tonight but once again, not much rain. With hot temperatures forecast this week (I'm not looking forward to summer) we will probably have more storms.

I was going to post a few more pics of the lovely fall colours but it is late, and I am tired. Heaving around the weight of an arm with two casts on all day makes my bed very welcome at night. That lovely "aaaaahhh......." moment when I can lie in bed and let the mattress take the weight is bliss.

"Prudery.
Avoid an affectation of excessive modesty. Do not use the word "limb" for "leg". If legs are really improper, then let us, on no account, mention them, but having found it necessary to mention them, let us by all means give them their appropriate name."

Have a wonderful week.

  1. the stormy weather is probably not helping your barometric wrist feel any better, is it? it's cold here (very) and i feel like an old, old woman today.

    prudery - this one cracked me up ... by all means give them their appropriate name ... do you think that applies to ALL body parts, or just to legs? cuz there are lottsa body parts that have been given all kinds of inappropriate names over the centuries and our language would be so much less ... colorful ... if we called every little thing by its appropriate name

  3. When your summer season comes, do you have air conditioning like we do? Do you have high humidity or are there lovely breezes. If it's dry I never care, but the humidity is the killer for me.
    As usual you little wombat is very original. Are they easy to take photos of by the way?
    Prudery....it exists even today...lovely explanation

  4. Sniggering here... how can legs be improper??
    We are having a storm right now. It has been oppressively hot here all day, so hope it dispels some of the heat, though it still feels ovenlike indoors. We are getting a little rain.
