First Paid Job
I might have thought I would need to wait for Lilly to be just a titch older than four before she got her first paid job - but , well - she has determination and passion which cannot be held back! Today at the hairdresser, we were there much much longer than we had anticipated. ( that is an entirely different story which I won’t go into here) Lilly was so patient, read gossip magazines,

on dead things
"No - he’s not asleep, he is all chopped up and dead; but hes coming alive and going to eat you up." No its not a Saturday night horror film snippet - its part of an overheard conversation between Miss Lilly and a 4 year old friend playing with farm animals..... One would think that those cute little plastic sheep and cows had nothing more sinister about them but day old slime from being chewed

Daggy Dogs
Its all too disturbing to think about this for too long,, given what I think is actually in these things in any case...On our trip up to Longreach, out of desperation for some sort of food, We stopped at a truck stop and was assaulted with an array of fried delicacies. yummmm. Lilly insisted she have a daggy dog.It took me a while to work out she wanted one of those dagwood dogs ( pluto pups)
