There is a wave of emotion ongoing today. Following the US Supreme Court Roe v Wade ruling. I can understand why many people will not want to discuss it. I don't particularly want to either, but I feel upset and concerned. As previously highlighted in An Incensed Observer and A Question of Women's Rights. Because … Continue reading Thought For The Day
Today another first. I am participating in Cee's Flower of the Day Challenge. The Clivia Miniata from the Amaryllidaceae family (I'm thinking Amaryllis). Also known as the Bush Lily or Natal Lily. My husband, the superstar that he is, bought this as he likes structural houseplants. I was skeptical, but to be amazed. In its … Continue reading Friday Flower of the Day – Clivia

Sadly much of it is now beyond my capacity. I may perhaps one day revisit watercolour, less likely furniture painting. In the meantime I dabble with … Continue reading Pencil Sketching

I have gone back to using an alarm clock, rather than phone alarm/s, to help my brain switch of thoroughly at night. It is making a difference. Why I WakeUp Before My Alarm I might wake up earlier … Continue reading Why Am I Awake So Early?
