No really, you’re too kind
A very big thank you to the kind person who arranged to have a nice young man called Ben drop off a dot painting by central desert artist Dick Lechleitner on Saturday.
We were a bit surprised, frankly. Young Ben didn’t know the name of whom it was supposed to go to, but was certain he had the address right. The only reason we accepted it was that O’s mum and sister both collect aboriginal art, and we suspected his mum might have made a purchase to be disguised as a present from us for her birthday in a few weeks. Not that that’s ever happened before, of course. So we called her – but she’s got nothing to do with it.
I’m sure the rightful owner will be calling for it soon, but in the meantime it’s really quite nice. So ta.
Updated to add: Rats. We got a note from young Ben, and did the decent thing and took it around two streets away. I was starting to really like it, too.

AND it’s resting on a Tim Winton novel. You just won four bonus points on the Game of Life (l.wing vers).
