Yup I am now 29. I think i MIGHT be growing up. I had a lovely day, of gardening, eating and shopping! It was quite the “scorcher” so a mountain bike was off the cards (climbing the hills on a bike is not that fun when its REALLY REALLY hot). Kylie was back so I had my guy back, which was my biggest wish, despite my mood being still slightly melancholy due to a funeral in the week before, my flatmates and boy made it exactly what I needed.

NOW I hinted at something else I was working on a couple of posts back, it was pretty much a wee composition of frames and a gauche painting.



Plus the addition of a sofa bed to the wee office. My little work space is still a work in progress (like my life) but here are the shots, i didn’t do much tidying before the shots, I prefer realistic shots, because studios are WORK rooms… how can they be kept immaculate? Really?

The desk I found on trademe for $7, I have sanded and finished the top, but the rest will have to wait. (yup the curtains need some attention.. next!)

The recent “spare-bed-come-couch-for-people-to-sit-on-and-keep-me-company” addition. Covered in a sheet until I can get a throw made or found. Otherwise the cats will cover it in fur….

I “borrowed” the plate off my flatmate… pretty huh?

Now for something more sober, our neighbours across the ditch are still fighting firestorms destroying homes and whole towns. Places I drove through not that long ago are now gone. The fires seem to be diminishing, now politics and blame games will be coming to the fore. Put simply people have lost their familes, their homes and in some case their livelihoods. Times like this, if one can, we need to offer some help. Let the politcians fight out the “whys”.
