At last the weather is starting to cool down and sleeping at night is so much easier than when we suffered through 30 degree plus nights.
I am one of those people who loved the cooler weather so I say "roll on winter!"
Haven't been out much lately as we had what I hope was a final flourish of very hot days; now that it is cooling down I will have to plan some more outings for myself.
When I went out the other week I was sitting on the banks of a river and there were lots of magpie families around; babies almost the same size as the parents all clamouring for food.
I tried to sketch them quickly but they would come up to my feet the dart away so fast; it was hard to get much on paper. I did manage a few little sketches that I can use a reference; I forgot to pack my little digital camera; reminder to self - always put camera in bag...lol.

I have a large digital Canon SLR camera that I take when I am going to an area scouting for painting ideas and I have a small digital one that can fit into my handbag but, of course, I forget it more often than not.
Been 'prowling' around again and had a coffee with a new 'victim' last week - what a giggle ..... the guy said he was 6'0" and average built .... ha! He was not much taller than me so he was about 5'10" and at least 125kg - sorry but that is not average, that's way larger - man boobs, big stomach ..... average my foot!
Why bother lying about things like that? It is really hard to hide the truth ... rotfl. Anyway, apart from the fact I'm not attracted to big guys he was totally boring and spent more time telling me how he likes to hunt and fish - both of which I hate; and what was wrong with his ex wife.
When we finished coffee I said goodbye; I said that we had no common interests and no chemistry. His reply was that there was lots of chemistry on his side ... er sorry but it has to be on both sides to work.

Just discovered that Riverdance is back in Sydney for a very short final season - 18 March till 27 March - now that is a very very short season .... lol. I love that show and I love the music!
There are a few musical theatre productions I love - Riverdance, Rocky Horror, Phantom, Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar - I remember seeing the original production of Hair and all the controversy that surrounded it. Australia had the 'nude' scene ..... very daring for those times; love it so much went back and saw it a few more times .... lol.And of course who doesn't love Rocky Horror? Have you ever been to an audience participation of the movie? Now that is fun!
