Far and Away

That was a lovely thing to do @Zoe7, and I am glad you received a heart-warming response. It gives that person a beautiful memory now by sharing what can be done with old palings through the power of art .... 💪 🎨 ❣️

So beautiful that you could do those with the kids @Zoe7 ... 👍

👋💕 @Sans911 ....

I woke up through the night and found I had dropped my phone in the bed with the Reply page open and blank ..... had fallen asleep between reading and responding .

How is your recovery going now @Sans911 ?

haha @Faith-and-Hope Not the first or last time you will do that I am sure

I have fallen asleep mid post before so you are not alone there.

Had an up and down night again so will need another sleep this morning. I do feel a little better than yesterday though so hoping that continues to improve over the next couple of days.

I was really pleased to receive the return message last night. I couldn't have done it all without their help with the fence plings so felt it was really importsnt to let them know that nd show them what the kids did.

@Sans911 Hearing you Hon and really feeling for you. It is an uncomfortable position for you to be in especially as there is nothing you can do but wait and try to get through the pain as well - so hard and not liking how you look right now makes that even harder. Much love for you dear Sans911

@Sans911 ..... sounds really sucky, but doable ..... and I know you have an iron will when you want to achieve something ..... but gritting your teeth to get through is really hard.

In The midst of our dramas in the west last week I was still conscious of you being across the city there somewhere, and wishing you well, my friend.

That’s a dolphin ripple in the water .....

@Faith-and-Hope Your niece is asleep curled up in the dog kennel outside. It seems to be her knew favourite spot outside. There is a pillow in there for her too so she looks super comfy.

Slowly pottering around and getting a few things done - washing is done and out and began cleaning the kitchen. There is not much bench space at the moment because I have the hermit crab tank there, the containers of coloured rocks all stacked there and the flowers from a couple of my kids. There is no room on the dining room table as the rest of the things I had in the classroom are all pile on there. That is my next job - to start putting some of that away.

How is your day going? What have you been up to?

Hi @Maggie 👋💕☕️

I took myself out for coffee ahead of a hair taming appointment @Zoe7, and I am wandering around Officeworks collecting a few bits and pieces necessary to hanging our exhibition work on Monday.

Then it is a visit to the gallery where we hope to exhibit it again next year, because there is a proposal involved. Here is where my newly acquired Photoshop skills are going to come in handy.

I have a neck massage appointment this afternoon - handy also as S2 told me my neck is like rock last night ..... and no plans for the evening so far.

I am glad you are getting sorting and tidying done.

Have picked up some of your news too @Maggie and I am pleased that you have some support around the issues 👍🌷

So great that your Photoshop skills will help you with this proposal @Faith-and-Hope - makes all the work you have done on it all worth it. It is wonderful when we can use those skills outside of the classroom for something really productive.

Your usual Saturday appontments then Hon - hair and neck massage - hope the massage helps relieve a little more of that built up tension and removes those 'rocks' for you. It makes such a difference when we are not carrying that tension around.

I have a little more that I can do before the footy starts then I will sit and relax and watch that with Toby. He is certainly loving me being home - has not left my side all yesterday and today 🐶

I hope you get everything you need at Officeworks and the gallery visit goes well. I further hope you group work will be displayed there next year - would be such a wonderful acknowledgement of all the work you have all put in

I am going to spend the first part of this week getting things put away and finishing off the reports for the normal teacher. Once that is out of the way I will feel more relaxed and able to do some things just for myself. Will make a list over the weekend of everything that needs doing so I can have a visual reminder of both what needs doing and what I have accomplished.

No plans here for tonight apart from more cleaning up - the sooner I can begin the sooner I will finish hey.

That’s about it @Zoe7 😏

Stopping for some lunch now.
