Barking Mad

Oh the delights of the English Language that you can take three completely unrelated events but through the power of the pun, homophone and colloquial phrase you can toss them all in together.
So here is Jessica posing suitably for the most annoying job at 2 Whitby St at this time of year; clearing up the Gum tree bark.We have a pile like this about once a week. It may not look much but is enough to fill a wheelie bin in one go.


Mad, zany, crazy, whacky and a few more less polite adjectives. In true "Timmy Mallet" style a particularly sticky day at work was coped with by going down to Tracey's (Near neighbour and Aussie who took pity on us in the early months and spends disproportionate amounts of time organising Tina) pool and jumping in fully clothed. The fact that pockets were emptied and watch, belt and shoes were removed before entering the pool takes away the " Mallet factor" and just makes me look a bit stupid.
Of course had I not taken these off I would have been completely stupid so I've redeemed myself slightly.




So Jessica worked hard, I bob around like an imbecile and Tina earns her place in the blog by displaying her leaf painting talents. This one is heading to Rosemary, a very accurate portrait of their dog. This 'leaves' Tina with two Tiger faces and a bilby to paint as thankyou presents. I am sure they'll all be very grateful.
