Mr Willoughby enjoying the autumn sunshine. He's not cross with you or me - every time he leans around to wash his flank, his tail baps him on the nose.

I am still here! I am thinking of you all, and holding you in my heart. The busies, they consume me, but I will be back soon.

On cold, wet days, Mr Willoughby likes to pretend he is still a homeless orphan. His basket by the fire is literally 2m away.

Mr Willoughby wants to disrupt the visual media landscape. Taking pics is so old hat.

Some of the hens are moulting. Here's Jazz without her tail and most of her underfluff. Her neck is completely bald, but she wouldn't pose for the pic.

I'm going to have to spend the night on the phone with an American insurance company, trying to resolve an issue and cancel a contract. At $1 a minute, and 13 hr time difference, and robo-call voice recognition software that can't manage Australian accents.

Huh. What a shame. I guess I'll have to play #TheSims now.

Everyone has plans for #Easter and they ask me what I'm doing. "It's just me and 36 hot cross buns", and you can see the massive regret on their poor faces. Enjoy your caravan parks!

My fingernails have reached the point where typing is an unendurable TICKYCLICKYTICKY experience, but they have to stay long for one (1) more day for a meeting where I need to look nice. Then we're deploying the clippers!
