ARGH!
James has had flu since the weekend. I have a rough, sore claggy throat. GLARE!
In happier news, I live in the best suburb ever.
I came home to find a lump of something cold wrapped in plastic in the letterbox. I checked for cables*, then lifted it out. It was a lump of clay. There was a brochure to explain it. This years public art festival is celebrating the horse, and they would like everyone to sculpt little horses, which will then be fired and displayed in October.
In addition, we will have horse and cart rides on October 11 and a horse parade on October 18!
Now all I need to do is not succumb to the flu, and learn how to sculpt in the next few days!
* My family do law and politics and I am from the 70s and 80s, this is automatic, much the same way that years of living in Australia sees me shake out my shoes every morning.

Ah yes, a nice lump of C4 in the mailbox is always an attention getter. >.> Do you know, except for my gumboots, which lived in the stables, I have very rarely shaken my shoes out, and I've lived on properties most of my life. Maybe us bush kids just aren't as fussed by something in our shoes, or figure that anything in there is going to suffer when we stick out feet in anyway. :D
You could settle for just sculpting a horseshoe, and declare is an existential interpretation of the horse, depicted by it's most basic symbol of servitude to mankind ...
I never did understand existential, anyway. *wink*
Do you know, I saw a house advertised on realestate.com.au today - using the tag line 'Go to the NGV and see the exhibition, then buy this house'
I just thought that might make you smile. Be well. That's not a suggestion.

The horseshoe idea has merit!
