Not the best pic because the afternoon sun was behind them, but beggars can't be choosers when it comes to photographing wild animals you come across all of a sudden.
Admittedly it is a street of houses right beside miles and miles of bush reserve, but still! Cheeky buggers!
Glad they don't do it at our place. The ticks have been awful due to the unusually wet weather, and my friends who live near here have been covered in tick bites from ticks that the roos carry into their yards. As a lyme disease survivor, that makes me feel very icky indeed!
We've been avoiding the kangaroo areas of bush when we go for walks. Angus is still walking with us. Though mum is recovering nicely from her 'op', walking such a large heavy dog will not be happening just yet. Tess comes with us some days, but not if we are going a bit further.
He's so handsome. I must say, yellow Labs photograph nicely so much more easily than blacks! See cute Rosie back there, wondering why her mama went back down the trail? (Dropped my sunglasses when I put leads on them to avoid scaring a nervous little dog we met.)
After his walks he is very happy to go back to mum and keep her company as she rests.
I've been playing with hair braids a bit, having watched some youtube videos on the topic. Braiding my hair shows Odin I am thinking of him. He likes that almost as much as he likes offerings of mead or coffee!
At 51, it is a bit weird to be playing with hair-dos, but life is change. I've never really played with my hair, even all those years when it was really long, so it is fun for me to learn new things to do with it.
The Legolas look:
The 'I don't know what' look. These braids are fun to do. They are known as rope braids.
Hmmm, I look a bit pale again there. Have to go for an iron test soon. Hope it is stable now! Don't want to take any more iron supps. They make me so sick.
I am having so much fun working out my first block-and-strummed song on the lyre. It is a gorgeous, sweet tune by the Portcullis Minstrels, called, "Forever and a Day." Must get videoing soon. I have three including that one that will soon be ready to show you.
I've been playing guitar almost every day too. News Flash: You actually do improve amazingly fast when you practice every day! Ha ha, it's not news to anyone but worth reminding myself. Musical skill stalls or goes backwards if you don't keep up your practice, and nothing hurts more than being able to play less and less songs instead of more and more!
We have been doing a bit of a reorganise this week. Andrew is moving all his amateur radio gear out into the railway carriage where I had an art room that I never used because I like to work in the thick of life. Now it is a man cave and he can keep all of his incomprehensible and boring (to me) gear in there out of my way! ! Yay for both of us!

| The man cave in all its glory! |
As part of the reshuffle, an armchair that had been out in the railway carriage for years came inside, and we started to get headaches. Luckily after a few days we linked it to mildew/mould in the chair. Beware of mould! As soon as we took it back out we improved and are now back to normal.
This pair of afghans also got displaced, so I gave them a wash, planning to store them afterwards, since we don't currently use them. Instead, I am wondering if I can somehow fold and store them somewhere visible so we can still enjoy their vibrant colour.
I have been to five cafes with friends this week, and drumming circle, plus the fireys' don and a Druid meet-up is coming this Sunday too! I think it is the most social week of my life. Yay! So much for lyme-induced hermityness! No more of that. I'm out and proud of it!

It's been so much fun. Thanks to all my amazing friends and family for your company! Think I'm developing a cafe habit. Is there such a thing? :D
