Soooooo. It's been a while. Almost five months in fact. Mind you that's better than the years I was away previously. 😂 So. Hello, hello. I'm back!
Since I don't have any pictures of projects as I've not been working on any, here's a nice shot from the summer. This was the view from our bench when we took my Mum to Shoreham Airport for a coffee and a cake.
Now. Where was I before I disappeared . . .
Day 59 of The 100 Day Project I believe.
I have to say, I'm dead impressed I made it more than half way through The 100 Day Project. 💪 Especially as the last week I wasn't at all well but continued to soldier on nevertheless. Probably not the wisest of moves in retrospect since I ended up having to take to my bed for a couple of weeks with a chest infection.
Add that to a number of challenges in my personal life that followed and the result was a complete loss of momentum. The challenges only increased as the summer wore on, the most recent one being my partner being made redundant out of the blue.
Yep. Things have been tough and I've found it difficult to motivate myself to do anything other than the bare minimum but, today, I found myself watching a couple of Youtube videos and feeling a small spark of creativity again.
Seizing the moment I started writing this post and will ease myself back in by writing as and when I feel like it and saving in draft until it's ready to go. That way there's no pressure to push something out and I can stay connected to the process as I record bits and pieces of it.
Another summer pic. This time a view from the car park at Shoreham.
I'm currently enjoying watching the presentations from #hivefest in Split and wishing I was there. I had an offer of a free ticket back in July but then John was made redudant and all bets were suddenly off.
Even so, watching it online is sparking off some ideas of things I'd like to do on Hive but, as things are at the moment, I'm faring better by taking it one day at a time rather than making grand commitments such as The 100 Day Project.
So it's back to intentional coddiwompling for me, following what's in front of me and trying not to think myself too far into the future.
One more summer pic. This one from a lovely summer family meal enjoyed in this pub garden.
And for the final time I will end with . . .
