holidays …

this is what it’s all about don’t you think ?

New toy for me….

I have bought this little baby for myself…. how cool is this?
I think I am in love.

But the man I call honey says to me, ” But it is exactly the same as the old one”
yeah right. It’s black this is true. Another truth is it has a lense.
And yet another few the viewfinder, the strap, the shutter, the battery…

But the fact is ISN’T OK…. ( am I screaming. I think so)
It is clarity personified. It is HIGH ISO no problem. It is the mother of all cameras. It feels right in my hands. I am in love.

Can’t wait to share some results with you.
OK did I say I was in love ?

Dear Santa

Just in case you were wondering

British aka visitor #2 is the ONLY person officially tasked with writing a wish list. She is the only literate one you see.

Anyway, if you know of anyone that can get this list through to the man at the top of the tree, please do. Especially for item #4.

Thanks (woof)

My son has got a Christmas tree…. first time ever

I know as a mother I should be saddened by the lack of reality he has. A Christmas tree should be a pine needled affair. It should have tinsel and baubles. The only similarity that this has to the real deal is the colour ! There are no flashing lights. There are no snowmen. The WORST thing is that there isn’t an angel or a fairy on the top. I have never been a star on the top person.

I suppose I should be proud that he has a tree. I should be proud that he has an amazing steady hand and is good at balance. I should be proud that he could afford to buy that many bottles of Grolsch, I suppose. I hate to think of the party these guys must have had. all in the casue of the Christmas tree. Can you imagine the conversation ( or slur ) ?
“Hey, just the top 2 layers to go ” HIC
“No ways”
‘Shinkj weeee cann du it tomora ?”
“Or nest Shrismas?”
“Be a man…. sheak it on the chin boys. One for the Shrismas shree” HIC

Anway, Hope you are as proud as I am. Enjoy .

ps all people and places in this novel are purely fictional. Start of my book maybe ?

we’re in the zone

Just a quick post to explain this book.

This was a commissioned job that I have been doing for the past 3 months. An amazing feat as I had to travel around the country ( see older posts for some photos) and then do 120 pages of design.
The client was ecstatic with the result ! which always helps.

WHOHOOOOO – IT’S HERE

This is what I have been working on for the past 3 months.

talk about being bushed

I truly don’t know why British is bushed. Maybe it’s because she has to share everything with 3 other dogs now instead of 1.

You see, the 2 visitors are having sleepovers at the ginjanan and Popeye ( aka as Sam and Ian) . Not one or two or even three. It’s for 16 Sleeps ! The frikkin parents have gone on honeymoon and we are the kennels again. Told you this would happen. Told you.

I use the term “sleep” quite loosely actually. These dogs play bloody musical beds all night.

I am sure I overheard this the other night

“Ok Miller, it’s your turn to start.”

“No ways. I ALWAYS have to start”

“Ok…..I will….spoil sport Miller”  spat Visitor #2

Resident 1 and 2 didn’t get the rules at all.  They thought dark room and Popeye snoring means shhhhhh. But no! The visitors just don’t get the concept. So the game starts.

Off and on the denim overstuffed-with-left-over-material cushion. Round the bed. My side….LICK….. Ian’s side… LICK. thwack.

“Go to bed Miller,” Popeye shouts.

He skulks off pretending his feelings have been hurt thoroughly.

British tries her part in the game. Two fat paws…. hanging of f the edge  of the bed. I did hear her whisper to Miller..”check this out. She can’t resist my ugly, sad face. think it’s the folds of skin that get her. Everytime”

She clings on, I (aka as Ginjanan) am feeling bad at the THWACK from Popeye a few moments earlier and I really don’t want them going home saying to their “parents’” they were horrible. They were mean. We never wanna go there again.

Hey that’s a plan actually.

This is the honorouble British having an afternoon nap…cos she plays musical beds all night. Think I am going to hang off the couch …maybe I will get her with my ugly face and folds.  I can have sad eyes too .
