Holidayfish

So, to cut a long story short, we went on holiday to Australia and it was awesome.

We stayed in Mooloolaba.

Yup, that's the beach.

For some reason I kind of forgot to take pictures of the actual sandy parts ( which was totally lovely ).


However there were some pretty norsome rocks.


 And that is wood in a rock.



And then we went to Sea Life, which is also confusingly called something completely different. We were totally the only family in the line waiting to pay who didn't have a family member under eight. But then there were jelly fish. And it was awesome.





 I wished to cuddles these ones. They were so cute! But they were very hard to take photos of, the little peskies! Sometimes they got tired and turned onto their backs and oosed along that way. So sweet!


 This one, just chilled. Like us, really.

Tiny

I like tiny things.

These are me mice, Edwina, Bianca and Griselda.

They are tiny....




 Sweetsome...





 And they have many, many, many things to do!


I likes them.

Also, what would you call a petting farm of tiny animals? I'm thinking miniatures, and lots of shrews and stuff. Also.....MARMOSETS!!!!

Would you Look at That Mess!

I considered titling this post 'Story of My Life'. Take from that what you will.

My day has been a bit of a schemozzle, as the poets say. I was home all day, supposedly doing schoolwork, actually trying to write a fairy tale and listen to Christina Perri and Mindy Glindhall ( Both of whom are, by the way, amazing) In the course of writing this fairy tale, I delved into the depths of my writing box, in which I hurl most of my paper writing, never to be seen again. Actually, I tipped it out on the floor. I am quite surprised by how many bits of paper I have accumulated, and it does make me think that I really should have finished something by now.....eh....yurs. Also I was once again stuck by how much better my writing is when I am crazy out of my mind....which is depressing.


In other news, I made crepes. Mighty nice crepes too, if I do say so myself. You see, there is a very nice thing you can do where you stack your crepes with a filling in between, chill it, and cut it like a cake. It is so very very nice. Mine, on the other hand......well. 

The caramel was dubious.



I really messed up the chocolate.


It liquefied.

Icing, perhaps?

I actually did consider washing them off, but something tells me that crepes that have been soaked in failed caramel, smothered to death with chocolate icing and then washed off under a cold tap would not never be quite the same again.

I took selfies to make myself feel better.



Ok, so I also knocked over by half full hot chocolate ( which turns out to be really hard to remove) on the carpet followed by water and juice.
And then I found this snail on my curtain, which was...weird.

In other news, I can put my hair in a pony tail now. The vacuum cleaner bust. I cleaned the mouse cage, and tried to get some hideous gunk out of the cat's ear.

Thus, as the poets say, is life.

Dwelling in a Toadstool ~ A Must Read for All Magical Creatures Considering an Alternative Housing Arrangement.

So, if you lived in a shroom or a toadstool, would you have to hollow out the middle yourself, or do they come like that in magical lands? Also, do you live in the stem or the cap? And do you have to move when your home turns to a soggy mess? Or have the fungus-fairies put spells on to make them decay resistant? If you are a tiny creature searching for a shroomy home, here are some of the autumn specials.
















Just had a bad thought. What if, the reason the creatures-who-live-in-the-fungus don't have to deal with house decay, is because they ONLY LIVE FOR A DAY. 

That was a sad thought, man. I'm sorry.

Nope, I Didn't Die

Well hello there, little world.

I have returned, after a lengthy break, to amuse you all with my endless wit.

In a fit of vanity and photo inspiration, I  did a photo shoot in my new Factory Jumper, and my sister's Gumboots. I am telling you, sometimes I amaze myself. So here it is, the wondrous Autumn Bracken Owl Stunning Spectacular Photo Shoot. That is what I'm calling it.

We started off down by the fence, staring the jumper and a wistful model look....

 We then moved to the log pile, adding rustic charm to the picture, which is actually quite hard to achieve....
 Wistful.
 Then we tried to add some domesticatedness and action to the shot....piling wood is so Autumn, don't you think?
 And...oh dear...hang on....well, it seems the model didn't know what concealer was, so we are calling this one 'Sleepy Dreams"....

 With a shift of locations, we tried out a few artsy looking down shots, which were......

 We really liked this picture, because it had a beautiful 'unfinished' sort of look, if you know what we mean....
 the mood here is just stunning
 And this was perfect with the casual 'leaning against the house'....
Here we went for a more sinister look....




    Really, she didn't do it.....
       


So, yeah. In other news, I HAVE A YOU TUBE CHANNEL!!! It is imaginitavely called 'Abby's Telly', and here it is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjeiweUzncMkcJ1H-L5dNXg   Now, I know I've been a little slack of late, by hey, my life is hard, you know? However, I do hope to put up some more videos soon.

That's all for today, kiddies, but I'm glad you stopped by. Tell your friends, and be ready.

I have returned.
