Re: Taking the plunge
Morning everyone 👋
Good day yesterday thanks @Maggie. We made it home on the afternoon after a quietish day. Gig was also good thanks. Amazing to hear what went into moving the school to online learning and what plans they have going forward.
How was your day?

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear I can only imagine the process of moving schools online, specially given the fact there really wasn’t a lot of time to prepare.
I had a quiet day also. Played with a few stones. I have a number half done now. 😁😁😁 . I sprayed one side of home made stones. Hard to get an even coat on the candle holders, the hole part.
Hows today looking?

Re: Taking the plunge
We given stats that were big and eye opening @Maggie. Around 2 in 5 families where we are were not connected to the internet (as an example). Many families here have struggle and challenge in big ways. It's a beautiful community though and the staff are incredible with the depth and extent of care.
How did your stones go? The last one I saw of yours is amazing 💜 The dot drag is very clever! I didn't think about how to shine up and seal a candle holder. How tricky!
I have counsellor today which will be great, and a work get together. I'll have to go to the supermarket too as we're out of lots now, and the chemist. My allergies are going bonkers for some reason 😏 Also really hoping to play with some paint and catch up here on the forum a bit.

Re: Taking the plunge
My pastor actually mentioned the fact that many were not connected, or had the hardware needed for online home schooling @CheerBear Super hard and tricky, as it’s the vulnerable who suffer again. But the other side of it is, you see people helping, in all the ways they can. Every small, seemingly insignificant helps.
Which reminds me of the other assistant pastor, who arrived on my doorstep last Saturday, with a bunch of silver beet in her arms, and a massive smile. I appreciated it so much, and the silver beet was tasty. 💞💞👍👍
Sounds like a busy day ahead. Allergies, ugh. Draining and very annoying. I hope the chemist is helpful.
I was going to go back into my cave, but decided to kick butt instead. You are welcome to help there. 😂😂😂

Re: Taking the plunge
Oh I'm so glad to hear you heard from church @Maggie. I had been wondering. How long until groups and face to face might happen again?
Haha with helping you with your butt again 😂 What might you do instead of a cave day?
I'm taking some inspiration from you and getting my craft on. Paint pulled out and ready to go 👍I will try and fix up one that isn't right but maybe has potential to be OK. I have to let go of the perfectionist beast a bit I think, and just enjoy the process 🤔

Re: Taking the plunge
I was online buying paint yesterday @CheerBear. Over the top for me, but some nice shades should be heading my way soon. Too easy to spend like that, but good for the blues. 💙💙💙😁😁😁
I’m struggling with the perfectionist side of me too @CheerBear . I’ve heard them say they are not meant to be perfect, but fun, and I really do enjoy playing with paint. Hopefully, I’ll finish the half done stones. 😜😜
Church as far as I know, are still online. Too many would miss out otherwise, that’s my guess. We stood at the door. I don’t know whether to ask people in or not with this virus thing. Anyway, the door conversation worked ok.😁😁

Re: Taking the plunge
This pic says it all @CheerBear . I had another picked, but realised it isn’t Saturday yet. 😩😩😩 It’s been one of those weeks, wishing it would end.
I hope yesterday was good to you. Not sure if your weekend is with well and unwell people, if it is, I hope there’s some time out for you somewhere.
