Scaling up Working in a Gordon Harris mixed media sketchbook, I completed the evaluation exercise on the 12 small works. It was interesting to step back and consider favourite elements, what surprised me, wha…

Rename the NZ Herald to β€˜Luxflake’s propaganda sheet’. This isn’t actual reporting.

Hitting the heart is definitely not a like for your situation. I’m sorry the system isn’t giving you the care you need.

So true ☹️ I seem to grieve just before the dates, rather than on the date. Brains! So odd…

Said I might be overtired, someone commented I’ve had a lot on.

Thinking on it - it’s not just no break since Tony died & the awful lead up.

Friday it’s 35 yrs since Dad died & the first time I haven’t had Tony’s support.
Next Tuesday would have been our 31st wedding anniversary.
So yeah.

That’s hilarious. And familiar.

I saved up hard while we were nursing Mum. Left her with Tony, went to Wgtn for a few days to rest, do Xmas shopping.

He rang, asked if I was having fun. Yes, why? Bank had rung, concerned about the sheer volume of transactions πŸ˜‚

High five Westpac. Picked up fraudulent activity on my account & notified me asap. Spoke to them at 9am. By 9.30 I had a new card loaded I could access using Wallet on my phone.

Oddly its was a zero traction that they spotted - some fucked loaded my card onto Amazon to go shopping!

Not Covid. Will retest tomorrow. Might just be in need of a holiday (booked for May).
Haven’t had a break since Tony died, and that was a long hard slog.

Been feeling pretty mediocre. Came home and had a sleep. Vague cold but everything tastes odd. Doing my first Covid test in ages.

There was always a risk, if the response worked well, people would say β€œsee, it wasn’t serious & we overreacted β€œ!

Sigh

The bank picked up a fraudulent transition my account this morning. I appreciate how quick they are. But now my card is frozen of course…

A love of orange Part of the course I’m doing involves looking, really looking, at what you’re creating. What do you love, what sparks joy? Find the things you love and do more of that. I’m onto the second part of …

That’s my feeling. Line it. Ranch slider, new window or two. Shower & composting toilet & we’d be fine for a year or two.

Out at the grazing block. We were thinking of building a garage to live in while we build a small house. There’s a 13x6m shed we could line. Pretty? No. Cheap & useful? Maybe. Hmmm.

Can someone remind me, a few hours ago, not to poke at weird skin things? Sigh.
I have dodgy skin & get stuff frozen off etc.
Absent-minded moment of poking at a small thing on my jawline. It’s now sore, bruised and not as small. β€œThat’ll learn me!”
