Update - Employment, Sinks, Art, Laws for Life.

The Gillies household has been rather quiet this week. The Colonial seems to be stressed and tired after a visit from his Dutch mistress. The nice young girl stayed strictly on the couch with no signs thus far from the Colonial that anything untoward went on. He has once again succumbed to the delight of a mid-afternoon nanna nap and has slipped into a deep coma, will he ever return? All signs point to yes.
Yacksie is a little more lively, moving and shaking his way around the household. At this point there is a repetitive drumming sound coming from his bedroom, another sign of his eternal struggle to capture the ultimate musical arrangement. Yacksie has recently spoken of moving into the art world. When the subject of art was broached with him he exclaimed "I feel I need to express myself on a canvas". After a lengthy discussion it was established that the price of a canvas and decent paints was out of the reach of Yacksies meagre earnings. Butchers paper and crayons were suggested and it was agreed that such materials were a more affordable option for him to express his inner magic. Yacksie has also recently taken to relieving himself in sinks, not always in private. While such behavior may seem strange perhaps it is just another sign that his creative juices are flowing and a medium must be found for him to establish his creative craft. Until then he will not be left alone with a sink. Cocoa and Yacksie also took part in yelling at an elderly man through their front windows this afternoon. The man seemed lost and a little concerned when grunting could be heard from the windows and quickly shuffled off, much to the amusement of the perpetrators. Will maturity ever reach the household? all signs point to no. Here are some points, facts, general laws for life that Cocoa has learnt in the past week:

• Never leave Yacksie alone with a sink.
• Bruce Springsteen is 10 outta 10.
• Jameson whisky is made of angel's tears.
• Dignity is boring.
• It's getting pretty cold, isn't it...eh? well?
• Banana
• Life is a rich tapestry, made of gold bits and Kate Moss's hair.
• Rich mining executives are too heavy for light aircraft.
• Sea animals can not eat oil. In fact they dont like it much at all, who would have thought.

Lastly the Gillies household is looking for a maid/secretary/cigarette lighter/masseuse/barista/butler/chef. Please let us know if you are interested in the position. We pay by the hour with oranges and the successful applicant will be provided accomodation in our spacious shed. Men need not apply...too far?
Ciao, Cocoa
