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.

Our thieves only steal bicycles, and power tools from sheds ;-)

We had toilet paper stolen from the office building where I work. There is no limit to what they'll take.
