I have been busy. I am stressed. I wanted a challenging job
and I sure got one. Six months in and I have successfully passed my probation
period! This week I have started a wildlife pond project and I am quite excited
to get going on it and to see it develop over the next few months. Next steps
are to cover the liner, plant up the periphery, and install fencing around it.
Crochet-wise, I haven’t been doing much. I have caught up
(sort of) on my Temperature Blanket so am now working on the June backlog. I am
still making squares for my Battenberg Blanket and the end is nowhere near in
sight for that. I haven’t done amigurumi for ages and haven’t had the
inclination to start again.
I have started painting and David treated me to a set of
gouache paint and new brushes which I am enjoying using. I have a painting in
progress but it isn’t finished, therefore no one can see it yet.
I am stocking up on polymer clay – I even have a new clay
box (it is pink & sparkly) – so that I can start clay work again. I find
with clay that I have to be really motivated to set the time aside to have
creative brain thoughts and then turn them into things, and I have been lacking
in brain time lately. Crochet can be picked up and put down, and painting can
be set aside, but I feel that clay has to be worked and baked in a day else it
risks being squished and ruined.
Recently I have learnt how to pump up a car tyre using the
auto tyre-pumper-upper-thing in the boot, but now I’ve had a new tyre put on so
I shall soon forget how to use the thing.
Gardeners World was fun, long, exhausting and wet, and I
didn’t meet Alan or Monty so I am sad. Must try harder next year.
David and I have been together for two and a half years now,
which is something I never thought would happen. Truly, truly, truly, he is the
best thing that has happened to me. He looks after me, knows when I need a
snack or a nap, keeps me calm, and helps me fix my car issues. What more can a
gal ask for!

We had a day trip to Ironbridge and saw a beautiful display of wildflowers right by the bridge.
I have shattered my phone screen and it needs replacing but
I have to send it off and I don’t want to lose my progress on my dinosaur game
because if I do, it’ll mean David will be ahead of me and I can’t have that, so
I am procrastinating getting my phone sorted. Also I don’t have £300 so that’s
another reason why.
