Green morning daydreams.

{To collect any number of things.(On a postcard from Andrea.)}

This morning I got up early and in doing so I have discovered what it is that all you early risers like so very much; it is calm and quiet much like it is after midnight, with little chance of interruption. I may always be a natural night owl but this morning being up early suited me just fine. It also meant that I had enough time to hammer in with 5 inch galvanised nails, twelve fence palings in the places where the gaps afforded me the feeling of little privacy along the fence to the side of our terrace house.

{In their cave, the seals ensured no treasure went unfound.(On a postcard from Andrea.)}

Hammering, sweeping, trimming and done by 10 o’clock. We worked in harmony with the builders two doors down working on a renovation though we were less noisy and our patch-up job isn’t as professional.

I am sure the neighbour sandwiched in between our house and the one being gutted will thank us with more of his 1am-time-to-play-guitar-woefully activities. He has yet to master a whole song despite sporadic early morning practice and I am very glad that the fence between us is now more of a barricade.

The green fortress is almost complete and it is ready for the sitting, the lolling and all manner of general daydreaming.

From daydreams come zines, don't you know?

Three in the Kitchen is now finished and you will find it in both our etsy and online store this coming Thursday (morning for those in the Northern hemisphere and late evening in the Southern). It is ready for release and so, too, is What Do You Think? with its spine now dry.

{Three in the Kitchen.}

{What Do You Think?}

Until then, allow me to take you to the zoo. Past Lemur Island it is off to the Japanese Garden with the greenest of green grass and three fetching feathered inhabitants.

With an Indian Blue Peacock that accompanied us everywhere.

Curled up in an enviable bed, a little coati.

~~~ Feeling very loved.

What a beautiful peacock.... it reminds me of the blue-feathered {but noisy} friend adopted by my family, and every other on Clarkmont Road a few years back...... I'm afraid the poor creature found itself a foxes lunch. {Very sad}
On a positive note.... I've started a blog!!!!!!! Its a little basic as I'm still learning the ropes. Congrats on the zines, can't wait to purchase one. When are you finalising the images for the car zine, I am well aware I am yet to send you an image, soon I promise!
