When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

Ahem, I'm from the Booooooooooston area, in Massachusetts, USA.  The Northeast, New England, Yankee country.  It's both a fabulous and frustrating culture to grow up in, but alas they probably all are.

Hi Tash,

I called my mum the other day and she told me they finally have electricity in her part of Sydney. This is great because she needs to run the electric fence to keep the Kangaroos out of the garden. What do you use?

My daughter has a bunny, and her pet name is  Bunyips.  She once had a storybook with a bunyip character.  So you've got those creatures inhabiting your back yard?!  How very - - -  magical?
