Aww that's a really sweet illustration. Too bad it's moving into autumn here. Weather wise it's still warm but it has cooled down at night and early morning.

I hope you are you're family are well and that your not feeling so blue. It's difficult isn't it?

And the Coraline movie I want to watch when it gets here, though I can see why it was quite scary for the little ones.

Just to let you know I am still working away on the PIF =)
