Another Semester Finished.

Well, here I sit having finished all the exams and work required...what will I do with my time for the next three weeks?
I will promise myself that I will draw.
I will vow to carry my sketch book and camera around with me everywhere looking for and seizing upon those moments of inspiration...I will, I will.
I will also over indulge on facebook and blogger, I will stalk Bulldog like I used to and send messages to my favorite Weasel.
I will visit my daughter and play with my granddaughter...Oh joy.
I will read newspapers and drink coffee.
I will wish I had more money but be glad that I don't.
I will think about old friends and wonder what people are up too these days.
I will love and be loved.
I will eat the forbidden donut (10 points to anyone that knows where that line comes from)

I will be uplifted by the everyday.
You are most welcome to join me.

Steer Clear of Water Fowl

Beware...they are on their way to a pond near you!

I have a friend who, when hearing about swine flu from a taxi driver with a thick accent, believed that it was called Swan Flu he even went so far as to talk to the driver of how people must be very worried in Western Australia and that Centennial Park must be in lock down (due to the large number of swans) In the end the driver could take no more and explained in a very slow voice that he believed that my friend was not understanding him, he then said ‘SWAN, SWAN, SWAN you know PIG!’ My friend ( who is quite smart but was suffering from jet lag) reached his destination. As the taxi departed he stood on the side of the road for a minute...it was then he realised what had just happened...and I have been telling his story and rubbing it in and laughing ever since...SWAN FLU ha ha ha ha ha what an idiot

Thinking About What To Draw...

I had to black out the address as I am sure my brother does not want you all to write or visit.
I, on the other hand, would love it.

With Birds I Share This Lonely View.

I have been very quiet haven't I? I have been busy with three days at college and all that goes along with that. Today I am studying for my bookkeeping assessment...I'm trying to make bookkeeping fun...TRYING! 'Leave loading' and 'tax withholding' are such fun things and lets not even start on the hilarity of tax tables or I may just pee myself a little.

Let's see what has been going on...my grand daughter is now almost 5 months old and she thinks that I am hilarious, she is just super dooper what more can I say.






I have been trying to avoid the 'ines' ie: nicotine, caffeine, morphine etc....just thought I'd share that with you all.

It has been raining for days and days and as I type this it is bucketing down outside....If this keeps up our fashions by the end of the week will be just FAB...I'm already running out of socks and jocks...that's me sharing again.



I have a nice big desk set up in my room and a groovy pin board that I am, I fear, a little toooo excited about.

One of my teachers said that she thought that I was a perfectionist, It was like she was informing me of some terminal illness, she even did the 'tisk' sound...I think that I can rise above these sorts of comments but this one has me wondering and reviewing my life and my shortfalls...It has made me think toooo much and this is not always a good thing for me.

It has stopped me from drawing as now I feel that the reason I could not draw for so long was because I was a perfectionist and why draw if it is not going to be perfect...ahhhhh

This is where my head has been for a while now.

Pfffffft Oh well thats about all for now except that I did want to say that one day I will have a groovy warehouse conversion and you can all come and stay with me when you are in Sydney on holidays or when fleeing from justice which ever comes first.


You are all just such beautiful people and I'm sending each and everyone of you a big squeezy hug....can you feel it?



byeeeee

The Brilliant and the Dark.

We were sitting outside on the steps, in our street, talking, when a homeless guy walked by pushing a pram all loaded up with plastic bags full of little bits of rubbish, food wrappers, crushed cans and stuff.

As we watched him walk by I told Ben of how I had seen him before and that he cleaned up the garden beds in the little park nearby and how I wondered why he collected these things and Ben said-

"He's building a nest."

My mind raced. What a beautiful thing to imagine.

Where is the nest?

How big must it be?

How amazing it must look.

In my mind it is big and colourful from all the wrappers and bags he has woven into it, it is at least the size of Big Birds nest and it is so warm and cosy....I want one.

Feeling like a Zombie and Unable to Post.

Do not get excited, I know you are, I still have no internet but next week I will be looking after a cat and the cat's internet connected home so I will have internet FOR 40 days. Mua-ah-ahhhhh.

But really it's all about the cat...honestly..it is.

Hey There Everybody.

I have no Internet and it looks like things will not change for a while.

The Start of Something.

This is the card I made for my friend Joss's birthday, she asked for everyone to make their cards.
I then started thinking about doing a painting, a painting about not being able to decide what to paint.
I just needed to buy a canvas and I'd be set...this usually leads to months of procrastination.
But... I went for a walk yesterday to get my morning coffee and there it was, a canvas, leaning against the wall in a lane way absolutely perfect condition and size.
So there you go!
As my daughter said- It was meant to be.
I'll keep you abreast (oh yeah!) of my progress.

What Have I Been Up To?

Look what my Daughter did! Isn't she clever?

Well we were all waiting for this little girl to arrive.

My phone was ALWAYS in my hand or under my pillow waiting for the call to say she was on her way, so if I have not developed so sort of tumor I will be surprised.

I have discovered what has been going on with my neck an shoulder (another reason I have not been blogging much) I have Degenerative changes caused by an injury 10 years ago...

Another name for this, besides painful, is ARTHRITIS.

It will NEVER go away...Never!

I am having trouble accepting the "never" part.

I have started swimming again which is nice and will help with the neck.

I stopped smoking on Tuesday night...yes,yes. I know,I know..This time it's for real.

Just gotta get over that 3 day hump and I'll be right...I WILL be.

I have not been drawing much lately....the neck again.

I will be re-enrolling and continuing my business course.

My Dad will be 88 (two fat ladies!) soon...

I am fighting with a router...it will NOT work! I have to climb up to the attic room and plug into my brothers connection if I want to do ANYTHING that needs the internet

I have been playing too much computer solitaire

Well.... that is really all I can think of to say...I could say more but it would involve lots of computer sitting and that hurts.

Ouch!

love to you all
