She's really looking nice.
Sad though about the pic of the woman painting the spinners. That spinner is probably blocking a lovely plumber's crack/builder's bum view.

I've stood in front of her while she's wound all 4 growlers up and they do sound a treat. Nothing like hearing one in the air though.. something I've not heard for many a year now.
