Silvergum Studio: Millions of cats (well, quite a lot)
http://silvergumstudio.blogspot.com/2015/07/millions-of-cats-well-quite-lot.html
View my complete profile. Sunday, July 19, 2015. Millions of cats (well, quite a lot). I learnt to draw cats from the Blossom book, and still find myself unintentionally drawing a Stobbs cat from time to time. Cat, must you scratch? I'm no match for your claws. Here, break my string of beads;. Give me fleas. Yawn. Take pause. Here's a sunpatch sized for you. Stare me down. Get coy. Bend me to your will. Cat, make me your toy. August 4, 2015 at 6:08 AM.

Silvergum Studio: Being watched by animals
http://silvergumstudio.blogspot.com/2014/11/being-watched-by-animals.html
View my complete profile. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Being watched by animals. I like watching animals. Apart from spiders, they're soothing. In 'The Way of All Flesh', Samuel Butler cures his hero Ernest of nervous prostration by sending him to the zoo to be dosed with 'a course of the larger mammals'. I feel this really could work. I once watched seals through an underwater theatre for an hour, and came out feeling like I'd spent a week at a Zen retreat. But do animals get a kick out of watching us?

Silvergum Studio: Berry Christmas
http://silvergumstudio.blogspot.com/2014/12/berry-christmas.html
View my complete profile. Tuesday, December 23, 2014. Berry Christmas, everyone. I had hoped very much to paint and post a funny picture of some fruitbats hanging on a Christmas tree . but I just ran out of time. There's so much fruit to pick! This is just a fraction of our crop. It's as delicious as it looks. A big thankyou to Jane and Andy for coming over and picking all the cherries that were above my reach. My back hasn't been the same since I picked the redcurrants.

Just another WordPress.com weblog. Go Bush Young Principal. It’s an outcome of a tough, competitive, school-based learning curve. There is nothing more effective for future policy makers and leaders in large schools. Australia’s well known writer of comic verse, Ray Kelley who had such an experience, wrote about it in light-hearted fashion. See http:/ kelleyandcullen.net. So in the rough, I did it their way. When I felt low, you understand I felt like throwing in my hand;. But while Sinatra-style, you we...
