This morning I am feeling old and creaky .. my mind, heart and soul is feeling young and fresh, wish my body wanted to keep up! My day job is in the office – sedentary, my hobby is sitting and creating – sedentary, my relaxation is blogging – sedentary. I have a wonderful scenic bushland suburb to walk the dog in but what do I do, stay sedentary. I just cant seem to motivate my body to stay with my mind.

When I turned 50 a few months ago, I also got engaged! Fancy that, getting engaged at 50, it made me feel really young and I have been enjoying the last 5 years of my life so much that I am far from being 50! I just feel creaky and haven’t found the motivation to get moving yet. I really need to, I ache all over.

Around the house

With Chay having moved in with us a week ago, and his girlfriend arriving to stay also next week, the  the scenery around the house has changed. Firstly the Porsche, a Carrera 911 [apparently], is now parked looking very stylish in our front yard. It does look lovely, sounds lovely and no doubt a talking point in our little suburban street. Ray and I did attempt to take it for a spin last Monday night as we planned to catch up with friends at a local pub, however we got the big N.O. and were on our way in my Mazda3.

The downside of now having two men in the house, they are both mechanical! The mechanical shit is building up faster than the new garden is growing. On the weekend the two of them found an old foosball game in the sidewalk trash, its now our own backyard trash waiting for a revamp.

 

On the easel

Being the house is overrun and I had a busy work week, time at the easel was slow. I did manage to start and finish a new bracelet in red-purple-silver. Its a different colortone than I have used before and it has a nice rich tone about it. And that’s about it, I did spend some time helping Ray get his photos online (more sedentary) but it was creative, and working with a client at work about their website was creative too.

These handmade beads by Tracy Brown in Brisbane look awesome when coupled with the Czech glass beads and glass pearls.
