Hi Marian, thanks for commenting on the bag. It took me a while to get a fabric to go with it, so I'm glad it's completed. And yes to Miss Lily (the dog), she's running around like a mad hatter. Mid you she's a nutter all the time! She is still only a puppy and not trained, so she doesn't come when she's called or sit unless you bark it at her. She's too interested in just chasing balls! I told Mum to get her to Puppy school, but she wouldn't do it - she didn't want to pay the fee! It's a pity because she definitely needs training. Love Chris

Hi Antje, stinking hot is 36C - 42C (93F-108F) here at the moment. Whilst the USA and Europe are having one of their worst winters, Australia has had one of the hottest summers I can recall. I'm over it and can't wait for some cooler weather. Everyone is complaining about it. Thanks for commenting on the bag. Love Chris

Thanks Barbara, and it's all thanks to you giving that piece of mesh. By the way the dog isn't mine it's my Mother's. Love Chris

I'm with you Sandy, I'd never seen this type of mesh before. I've only ever used the black type. Love Chris

Thanks Kim, I’ve never seen it before. Love Chris

I’m sure Barb found it in a local shop up in Queensland. If she sees your question I hope she will let us know. Love Chris

Oh, I just saw - Miss Lily!!! Sweet!

Thanks so much Karen, I was chuffed when I found the closest colour to the mesh too. Love Chris

Thanks Miss Lily is a little sweetie, so full of life, just a pity she isn't trained. I live in hope that Mum will keep trying with her. Love Chris

Thanks Shirley, I can't wait to see what Barbara comes up with in regard to where she gets it from. Love Chris

Thanks so much Lidia, it's such a useful colour too as it doesn't show the dirt. Love Chris
