So the Fringe Festival is finally over and it is time for this serpent to return to mundane and boring reality. Just as well really. The Fringe was fun while it lasted but it turned out to be a case of total sensory overload. Even though most of the shows I went to were good or great (with the odd rotton egg tossed in) it was still so much stuff to ( Read more... )

Today was the last day of the International Arts Festival. For five weeks the city has been like a hive buzzing with all sorts of artistic activities. There's been circuses, cabarets, freak shows, fireworks, dance, music and all sorts of strange theatrics.

Way back in the middle of January I took a detour to see the Cthulhu trees of Russell Square ( Read more... )

There’s more to life than battling bitchy cane toads. It is just such a pity that they are so invasive of both time and space. Toads with long sticky forked tongues and big black ribbons on their heads are even more monstrous. Worst of all is that all the grand plans for next year’s overseas adventures have to be put on hold. Even the annual slink ( Read more... )

Izzie is in a strange place. Just finished on Friday the last page of a camel leather journal with a rose quartz stone inset on the cover and hand made paper on the inside. Gorgeous but not friendly to emerald ink or quick quotes quills. It was like writing on quicksand ( Read more... )

Wednesday was an icky sticky disgustingly muggy day. It was too miserable to slink around after work so just returned to the lair to scrub the scales and indulge in a long serpent snooze ( Read more... )

Had been so so looking forward to Thursday and Friday last week. The first was the day of the big fireworks show on the Swan river and usually consisting of endless coffee crawls, reading, squiggling and slowly pottering down to the river for the big event at 8pm ( Read more... )

Two days free of goblin enslavement and how different as chalk and cheese ( Read more... )

It's been a strange week indeed. Done a whole bunch of things differently than usual. It helps being on holidays and not having to bother with mundane activities such as work. It also helps that there's a heritage festival currently on at the serpent's favorite lurking ground. Not quite a coincidence. Been timing holidays this time of year to ( Read more... )

It is so so true that the probability of attending an exhibition is inversely proportional to the length of time that it is running. With this in mind, the Iz tore herself away from the crisp crunchiness of a glorious spring day and devoted herself to a day tweeking the Time Turner to arrive on a cold frosty snowy day at the turn of last century ( Read more... )
