hello all you flickery people. my name is the great disappearing act.

i just want to feel like a magician for a few minutes a day. that's all.

i spend most of my time in the jungle (rainforest) with my animals, of which i have five: three dogs, two pussycats.

i like to watch birds. it's one of my hobbies. i don't like watching them in cages because they don't exhibit natural patterns of behaviour. they look sad and crumpled and heartbroken.

it kills me.

i spend some of my time in Auckland city (=big smoke), interacting with other human beings.

i have a very lovely life, which i should be extremely grateful for.

i think it's good to remember what you've got -

and photograph it.

sometimes it's hard to take my own advice however...
