Lunar Madness

It's been a weird week in my world... it started last Sunday with an encounter with a Kangaroo on the back roads of Margaret River. The poor Roo came off second best and this is what happened to my car

I can fix my car but I can't fix the poor Roo and it left me feeling very sad. There's been all sorts of random things going wrong this week which has left me wondering if the full moon has been playing a part. I've checked the lunar charts and it should be over in the next few days!!
In the mean time while my car is off getting repaired I've got a new toy to play with.

My new Epson R800 printer... I can't wait to start creating some goodies to sell with this baby.


Oh and the repair bill for my car you ask.... $3900 (Au) just as well I've got insurance. And it did such a good job of protecting us that I'll be hanging on to it. But maybe adding a Roo bar just in case!!

Santa stopped out the back of Margaret River for a pre Christmas lunch and it appears he may be slightly delayed this evening.

 

But don't worry kids there's a lovely lady looking after him and I'm sure he'll be there by morning

Blast from the Past

This evening I was looking through some slides of some of my old textile work from the 1990's and I came across these 2 slides. They are a little bit of Western Australian History courtesy of my Dad's camera lens in the 1960's

 For those who've never seen it and those who just can't place it. This is the Barracks Arch at the top of St Georges Terrace in Perth,  in all of it's pre-freeway glory. Only the arch itself now remains as the rest of the building was demolished in 1966 to make way for the Mitchell Freeway.

I've always loved these 2 slides, even as a child I was fascinated with them and always a little disappointed that so much this lovely old building was destroyed in order to build the freeway.The arch has always looked a little lonely standing there on it's own....
