I haven't blogged in soooo long. Don't worry kittens, you haven't missed much - I've been a home body lately, just reading a lot, working on my website and taking pretty pictures.

Hey everyone! I haven't been here as much as I like because it's school holidays and my son has been home and whining about doing 'stuff'. Today I took him to the local zoo where you can pet most of the animals. Playing with a live fox is awesome! They have heaps of parrots and galahs that land on you and Kangaroos that you can...
