Witchy Lawya

An ordinary woman trapped in a lawya's body sinning her way around the neighbourhood, around the seamless web of life, law, liberty & justice & everything in between. Nimble sins only. Away from the courthouse, the wrangling courts & stubborn law, I live at FAT LAWYER FARM, a little farm with a farmhouse, where I'm going a bit soft in the head ruminating with marsupials & other creatures & critters great & small . . . and God save the powdered wig!

Rumpole said, “crime paid but only a little at a time“. As a law peddler in Australia one is an ant in a world full of spiders providing the best representation money can’t buy!

Did you know that lawyers are living history?! A click on this image & you’re at the Courthouse for the 1880s trial of bushranger (outlaw) Ned Kelly in Melbourne, Victoria. You also see the lawyers’ dress of the day. Little, if anything, has changed. Yep, lawyers, here, still wear the same regalia. Yep, lawyers in Australia are living history! Seriously. Throw out the history books! Hang around the Courts for your free, daily, living history show. Immerse yourself & become a real social historian through experiential learning.

It's cold where we are at Angaston tonight ... & we have the heater on ... & it's the last month of summer for us southern hemisphereans ... & these two feliscatus, Edith & little Hattie, are keeping each other warm. #burmesecat #beautifulburmese #feliscatusdomesticus #hatticusfinch #burmesebrown #burmestortie #hattie #tortiecat #catlove #witchylawya #feliscatus #hatticus #brownburmese

Our little feliscatus, Hatticus (Hattie), has settled in & we so love her as does her big 'sister' Edith P seen here cuddling her (2 images). As cats do, they've squeezed & moulded themselves into a tiny bean bag cushion sitting at the end of my desk. #burmesecat #brownburmese #browntortieburmese #hatticusfinch #hatticus #catlove #feliscatus #edithpiaf #atticusfinch

Found these 3 odd pieces (from a vintage set of Australian Law Journals) here in the Barossa last weekend. While I have this edition in full set, I'm always looking out for vintage law books & other legal/law related collectibles, paraphernalia etc. Perusing legal tomes is a big part of working in the common law system. A lot is on-line now but there is something about an old law book ... not yet obsolete ... the physical, tangibility ... a law book is history ... out of print now ... #lawbook #bibliophile #Australianlawjournal #lawjournal #vintagelawbook #antiquelawbooks #oldlawbooks #lawyerlife #antiquebooks #barrister #vintagebooks #witchylawya #oldbookbinding #rarebooks #privycouncil #highcourtofaustralia #lawbookcompanyofaustralasia

The chooks in the house (mostly stayed in one of the unfinished rooms) during the scorcher of a day on Thursday. Very cool inside. See previous post. #chooksinthehouse #chickens #poultry #gallusdomesticus #chooks #rhodeislandred #hen #Australiansummer #isabrown #southernhemisphere #Harri #Henri #gingers #redchooks #gingerchooks #southernhemisphereans

Gallus domesticus in the house last Thursday. That's right, chooks in the house. Yes, chickens. It's deep summer here for us southern hemisphereans & it was such a cracking hot day last Wed & Thurs that I brought the 2 newest members of my menagerie inside (on Thurs). . This pair ginger feathered ladies, Harri & Henri, are recent additions. And, yes, they are named after 2 famous gingers: Prince Harry (actually Henry) & King Henry VIII. . I speak more about the pair & that they appear to have come come from an abused home in my blog post (link below) . The images take you to the shaded & ventilated area out in the veranda & pergola space & where I spent much of my time when home last week. The big gums & climbing vines work wonders in the heat. The view takes you to neighbouring vineyards & down over the Valley floor to Nuriootpa. . There is nothing like opening your heart & home to an abandoned, old &/or abused bird or animal. Constantly rewarding to watch them emerge from the constraints of their old life to experience freedom & kindness, to gain confidence & flourish in their new home, their new life, a life.

Going through photos from a few years ago (when we ran Wiltipoll sheep here) & found these shots featuring our first set of triplets. Wiltipoll regularly have mutiple births usually twins. Triplets are uncommon. How excited I was to see Mum & her 3'some. In one image you can see a baby behind Mum. If you look closely, you can see we had docked their tails with rubber rings. Best done asap & within first week. What's a Wiltipoll you ask? The Wiltipoll is an Australian wool-less breed or wool-shedding. The sheep don't need shearing or crutching & produce prime lamb. Wilipoll lamb is much in demand by restaurants & those looking for prime lamb with little fat. Developed in Australia for Australian conditions, Wiltipoll come from an Australian breeding program joining Wiltshire Horn rams with Poll Merino ewes. Poll means no horns. #wiltipoll #poll #sheep #wiltipolllambs #Australianwiltipoll #wiltshirehorn #pollmerino #lambing #fox #foxpredator #fatlawyerfarm #woolsheddingsheep #woollesssheep

It's art. Digital art. Barrister art titled 'Let's Not Shake On It!' By madaigual (Pete) via Deviant Art. "Had an urge to make a barristers wig (the rest is just filler) .... Trust me ...."

Sitting outside up here under the veranda pergola & gum trees right now & the breeze is starting to come in. Was up bright & early this morning watering the small & vulnerable plantings. The heat today was a shocker & tomorrow looks to be much the same before it cools! I thought I would melt, then vaporise, this afternoon when out. My gallus domesticus girls have spent the day scratching around the front veranda area despite feeling the heat somewhat. They love being up near the house where it's cooler. #chickens #chickenscratch #hens #chooks #fatlawyerfarm #gallusdomesticus #witchylawya #angaston #batossavalley
