More pics from Tassie..

Hi!
This is an image heavy post. Naturally.

So without further ado – Piccies!

We made some wine….These are some previous years vintage, still in their demijohns waiting for bottling.

Dad is building a boat. Since he has never made one with a round bottom before (the last boat had a V shaped hull), he’s making a 1/5 scale prototype first. :-D

I suck at editing photos – so I’ve only done a bit of levels and the occasional brightening. Need to get better! I love how GREEN the whole place is.

Anyways, I best be off. Gotta work on my latest commission :-D Seeyas!

Fergus

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Meet Fergus – Mum and Dad’s stud Highland bull.
Well this is my rendition of him. Notice how feminine he looks! If you were to see his big loooong lashes in real life you would agree :-) Fergus is a very placid bull – he must be over 3 years old now and he’s only just starting to fill out. Highlands take quite a while to reach their full size. He is so tame that Mum can brush his tail and he doesn’t mind a bit.

If you want to see some more pics of him, head over to my Mum’s blog —> St Imre Vineyard. There you can also see the rest of Fergus’ brood.

Fergus!

This took about 2 hours to do. Spread out over two days as there was much to do at home.
This weekend I shall be picking up my bike! I got a very nice tax return so I can afford to take it off layby. Unfortunately the weather looks rather miserable so I’m not sure I’ll be doing a lot of riding. Melbourne has been copping some pretty crazy weather lately. You think we’d all be used to it, but I don’t think you can ever get used to such utter randomness.

Well then, bye bye folks! Off for the week. I might be able to nip in a post on the weekend if you’re lucky ;-)
