We accept the love we think we deserve
Ohh maaaaan I haven't touched this in ages. No idea why. There's been plenty going on. My internet's been on the fritz though so I've been kind of limited in what I can get up to online.
Went up to Terrigal this weekend with Tom & Family, and had a wonderful wonderful time. The weather was lovely even though it was cold. We walked up and down a few of the beaches yesterday, and explored a car boot sale (people sell some weeeiiiird stuff). I honed my pool abilities a little more. Mostly though, just had a wonderful time being with Tom, lots of movie watching snuggled up on the couch.
I went to the Sydney Craft Show a few weeks ago and bought (among many, many other things) a sewing machine. They had to order it in for me, and assured me it'd be there by the end of the week ... 2 & 1/2 weeks later it FINALLY arrived ... but I've been having so much fun messing around with it that I barely care. And I got a pretty huge discount because I bought it at the show. I'm making a couple of silly cotton handbags first, I'm going to give them to the little girls across the road if I can bear to part with them. Might put up some progress shots of one of them as I go.
The Sydney City to Surf is in ONE MONTH oh my god. I've been sort-of training but I really need to be doing more than I'm doing. For those outside Sydney, it's a 14km run (2km uphill!!) from Sydney city to Bondi Beach. I've never done it before and I'm trying to clock it in under 100 minutes.
I started a book club at work that I'm really excited about. First meeting is tomorrow, so tonight I've got to pick out some books for the other members to read. And I'm still in the middle of two of my own books!
I have so much to do! About 6 books to read, sewing to do, tapestries to finish, running training to do ... I have enough hobbies to last me three lifetimes.
And I haven't done any drawing or painting in forever! Augh!
That'll do for now.
