Strange Creatures
After Dry July it was finally time to celebrate with a glass of red sitting outside in the garden. But it seems some one has been spiking the serpent's drink with lucky potion.
Been on the lookout for a list of things as part of a fun magical experiment and all of them had turned up so far.
Yesterday's simple mission to spot a yellow butterfly seemed a certain fail until an inexplicable urge to pay a visit to Manna Wholefoods. It's a shop devoted to all sorts of organic and green goodness. Not just munchies but makeup, soap, potions and lotions.
On the shelf opposite the main door were a selection of beeswax candles. Long skinny ones, short fat ones and also candles shaped like bees and butterflies. They were beige rather than buttercup in colour but undeniably a shade of yellow even if a little muddy.
Yellow butterfly box ticked and Mission accomplished ;)
Just happened to slink into the state library today and the beady serpent eye spotted a postcard promoting an event with Michael Leunig as the main guest speaker. There were still tickets left and I got one!
Been wanting to see Michael Leunig for decades now and always missed out. Until now.
How much more magic can a serpent manage?
So there's no point in nuking such a run of good luck with my original intention of commemorating a certain gloomy doomy anniversary of historical significance.
I will save all that misery for the next tine the Dementors come knocking.
