Last night there was a possum in one of the upstairs bathrooms here. We've had so much rain over the last couple of months that even the big trees around have grown enormously. One tree is close to the wing of the house near the bathroom next to my room. I think the baby ringtail may have been a bit adventurous near the end of a big branch and found itself on the roof. A short jump to the casement window, always open, and it was inside. I could have spun my own yarn straight from the possum's back! LOL. It found itself in the shower recess, and fortunately the screen door to shower was slid shut. Whoever got up to attend to its ruckus, put a chair in the shower near the window and left the possum to find its own way out. I have been feeling very ill with some bug and have had very little sleep. Last night I actually did sleep and slept right through.
This is three floors up and looks directly west to the Blue Mountains. Main bedroom also opens to it. There is an old lounge and a couple of scruffy but comfortable chairs. It's great for knitting. Hot days in the morning, it is in the shade with a breeze and cooler afternoons it gets some good sun. Looking back to the city, I can see at least as far as Cronulla. We are quite high here. Down in the valley is Macquarie shopping centre, Macquarie Uni and the office developments there.

Ooo! A view. Actually more than one view!! I've been saying to WM quite often lately, "life's too short to live without a view"!! [I'm tired of rooftops and colorbond fences!!]
Hi! Have you moved?? Sounds like you're around the corner from me now!!!
I made a cardi from possum merino last year. It was an 8-ply from Touch Yarns that I bought at a craft fair. It is sooo lovely and soft and cuddly.
