Despite my dramatic and emotional start to the week, things took a  turn for the best when the postman arrived with a parcel containing this work:

Artwork by Carole Desbois

The above work by Carole Desbois is part of her ongoing ‘Stuff it’ series (Beyond animal, photo numerique, Leica D-Lux 5)

As some of you know, I have a soft spot for tortoises and turtles.  (At one point I considered them my ‘totem-animals’).  After reading the book Zoo City I also decided that if I ever get animalled, then I hope that it will be with a tortoise!

I am looking forward to having the work framed!
