Bathroom views 9.30am.

 

Vacuumed the entire house this morning. Started at 11am and finished at 12.30pm. Phew. Is it any wonder I vacuum once every three weeks? 

The house looks clean and fresh after a good going over. Polished surfaces shine and textiles are brightened. It's growing dark outside as I listen to the sound of distant thunder, and hoping for another downpour.

Because I have a weeks break before starting my next uni unit, I made a shelf to fit beneath the coffee table reusing old timber. And such a good addition too, as it frees up space on top of the coffee table. 

Purple Perfection

 Camille's gastronomic sensation, the Purple Potato Vegan Cheesecake was delicious. A photo shoot ensued to capture this exquisite rare treat.

 

A new home for Brushie

A desperate brush-tailed possum has taken up residence in an unfortunate position over the footpath next to our house. I've been concerned about its welfare for some time, and after seeing a large area of its body poking through a widening gap in the foliage, I thought it was time to make a drey. 

I had one unused wire plant basket and a length of chicken wire, which I doubled over and secured to the basket with zip ties, allowing for a front and back entrance/exit. I padded the inside and outside with coir, vines, grass, sticks and leaves, adding a found tuft of possum hair as a homely touch. Possum's new home was hung on a secure branch along the fence line, just a couple of metres away from its derelict house. 

Now the waiting game begins.

By the end of the day, I checked on brushie again and he was awake, sitting higher in the same tree. 

Come dusk, Brushie will pass by the drey while out on its customary wander. I hope s/he finds the drey suitable to its tastes.
