Sherman

Diary of a Wombat
by Jackie French, Bruce Whatley (Illustrator)
Wombats are cuddly-looking, slow-moving Australian animals. Their favorite activities are eating, sleeping, and digging holes. Here, in the words of one unusually articulate wombat, is the tongue-in-cheek account of a busy week; eating, sleeping, digging holes . . . and training its new neighbors, a family of humans, to produce treats on demand.

Great shot, love the details of his/her hair/fur

[Annie D]

@graemestevens he is a him - named Sherman because he is built like a tank lol - could knock you over if you were not ready for it - he is a hairy nosed wombat so does that make it hair not fur?

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied I'm never sure - I've met a lady called James and have once been described as furry although it was clearly hair...

[Annie D]

@graemestevens hahahaha hahahahaha I love to laugh

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied I was being deadly serious. How very dare you! ;)

[Annie D]

@graemestevens I am sure you were and that makes me laugh hahahahaha

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied Now I'm outraged as well. Still, I'm currently in possession of a $70 bottle of red, so hey oh, I'll get over it!

[Annie D]

@graemestevens mmmm yum I am glad - as much as I love to laugh I would hate to offend - I am enjoying a white atm but do have two bottles of a $60 red to enjoy ;-)

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied all I'm going to say is that it was lovely

[Susan.T.]

Gorgeous shot Annie.
How are you going? xx

[Annie D]

@skippysue thanks Suze - I have my moments - some times are easier than others but I enjoy the photos the conversation and the caring I get from 365 so that always keeps me going

[Susan.T.]

@annied I understand hun,just be kind to yourself mate.
You take care.xx

[Sam]

@graemestevens @annied I prefer a red over a wombat anyday!

[Graeme Stevens]

@gigiflower @annied given that I've never tried sucking on a wombat I'll have to take your word for that!

[Annie D]

@graemestevens @gigiflower hahahaha depends on the situation for me - love a good red but wombats are awesome and fun to be around

[Annie D]

@skippysue thanks Suze I do and I will

[Debs Stott]

Cute wombat! Love your narrative too.

[Annie D]

@dibzgreasley thanks Debs - narrative is from the book which is well worth a look it - it is adorable

[Babs]

I knew this was yours, brilliant. I love wombats. I picked one up once and they are so heavy I nearly got a hernia. ha ha.
There was a hairy nosed wombat at Billabong Sanctuary in Townsville once called Notso, because he was not so hairy as his friend.

[Annie D]

@onewing hahaha - yes they are very heavy - I love them too - Sherman is a fav of mine

[AC]

Sherman's diary reads much like mine... Although you might find more eating and sleeping than digging in mine!
Great shot!

[Annie D]

@3rdxoff hahaha same here - digging requires a lot of effort :)

[Eve Pulsater]

Awww! Sherman is gorgeous.

[Ian McGuire]
