MY LITTLE ARMADILLO
AND OTHER REMARKABLE CREATURES
(A few lines from a children story)
On a day both bleak and dreary I woke a little bleary
to find a little armadillo sleeping soundly on my pillow.
It was round and rather bony,
long-tailed and sort of phoney.
Was it an animal or a mammal?
I couldn’t tell.
This thing was so confounding,
and equally astounding
that I had to do some research,
there and then,
so I looked up Mr Google,
and asked about young Dougal,
the creature sleeping quietly in my bed.
Now, according to one expert,
or so I do believe,
the armadillo is a most peculiar beast.
It is not a freak of nature
but a wonder of creation,
with elements that make it most unique.

Good luck with your work and many thanks for following mine. Jean-Luc’s artwork is beautiful.
Hello Johanna. I spend a lot of time looking at your website as your dreamy images make it so very easy to get drift away into a faraway world. Australia is a long way from anywhere, especially Europe…and it is a big effort to get there. I am planning another trip next year, but in the meantime, I shall continue to follow your adventures and drool with envy. Thank you for the opportunity.
I’ve never been to Australia and doubt I ever will so I’m quite envious of life “down under”. I do my fair share of dreaming too. 🙂
Life here is petty good and for an adventurer such as yourself Jo…and there is a hellluva lot to see. Not to mention the fact that most Australians are very amenable…we have to be…out of adversity…we have created a wonder of the modern world in 200 years and more than likely…it will only get better.
