Feeling out of Pocket

I've decided on my new vehicle, a Honda Jazz, lots of room in the back for all my installation works, and very fuel efficient. Hoorah!
Feeling proud but terrified I placed my deposit today, a new silver manual..... and I've begun learning manual today. Yes, I have possibly left it far too late, but I have mastered up to third gear, and my current weaknesses, apart from not entering the road yet, seem to be my initial beginnings. My heavy-footed habits have me either surging, or stalling. Give me a few more lessons and I'll be fine {please}.

Catching up with friends down at the local bar, for T's 24th birthday, enabled a glimpse of the "Counterfeit Gypsies" and a whale of a time. Much to my earlier negligence, I failed to notice my brother and boyfriend slip beer glasses into my bag. The guilt has worn off finally, and I'm now enjoying the frosted image of a dashing stag in the cusp of my hand.

Delightful family catch-ups were had, before the back-to-work drag, including an exciting spotting of two tawny frog-mouths, camouflaging in the trees around them.

My image does not do the beautiful creatures any justice, as the digital camera was zoomed in, and a binocular lens further capturing the vision. The hazy result is romantic rather than documentary.


I'm about to write my component for an Australian Council arts grant. Wish me luck.
