Colourful Monday

The horse that is visiting Nellie's house is beautiful, he/she has flowers climbing up his neck, a jockey on it's back and has a sporty theme to him/her.

I feel like I should name it... what's a good horsey name? Pharlap? Mr Ed? Misty? Perhaps Nellie should come and leave a comment and tell us what she is calling it.









Anyway, it's been 24 hours since I first posted images of horse, and here is an update of our speedy artist. Braving the cold Melbourne winter....






This will be the last update about horse for a couple of weeks now, as I am having to travel suddenly to Chile to say goodbye to a loved one.










Today while Nellie painted, and her daughter took care of my munchkins, I was at the Passport Office trying to get the application hurried through.

Fingers crossed and I will be away this Thursday on a 6am flight!


So, it's goodbye from me till next month, where I will post some final piccies and perhaps post some nice moments of my visit to family over the other side of the world... also as cold as Melbourne unfortunately.

A horse next door

My neighbour Nellie has been commissioned to paint a horse - not for the first time mind you, and I was quite surprised to find a strange man depositing said horse in her back yard the other day. I called her mobile quite quickly advising of the strange event.









Not to worry I was told, horse has been expected....  and will be sent to Tassie when finished

 I'll be updating you on how the painting is going, but here is a little taste for now.

We went over this afternoon to pat and stroke the horse and see that it was being taken care of.









And I really couldn't resist... this apron is really seeing action at my house, I love to wear it and so does hubby... pictured saying, "this better not end up on facebook!"   No, not to worry hon, just on the blog :)
