[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 181076, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Linda, you're getting a lot of painting done. I wish I could get going with my artistic endeavours too. And good for kt, pitching in and helping. Dreamer, sorry you got chiggers. Nasty. Have you tried ti-tree oil and bicarb soda on the bites? It might help the itch, it is intense. It's cold here again today. Weird, because it was so sunny today, the weather seemed so fine - and yet my hands and feet were aching with the cold even inside the woollen gloves/boots. I had to go to the shops this afternoon and wore my heavy down jacket - and was still cold! I was warmer in New Zealand in the snow! I just hope our new budgie (and the old one) are OK in this cold. And talking about art, as reminded by Linda - husband & I just watched a TV program on our artist neighbour, Jai Wei Shen. difficult child 1 is at girlfriend's parents' place tonight and they happened to see the program starting and rang to tell us. Our neighbour was a much-renowned artist in China during the Cultural Revolution, just happened to be in Australia during Tiannanmen Square and had the chance to stay here. He's gone on to win some major awards and commissions here since then. It was good to watch the program - although he's a friend of ours, the show told us more than he's ever told us himself, he's a very unassuming man. Their daughter is a bit younger than easy child 2/difficult child 2, they were good friends when travelling to high school together. And we didn't even have a tape to put it on! I'm going to try to contact the network tomorrow and order a copy, so mother in law can see it. She lives across the road from Jai Wei. We certainly do live in a fascinating place! Marg [/QUOTE]
