Shaughan and I celebrated 4 years of marriage last Thursday. Mum came up and looked after Maddy and we went out. It was a year ago to the date that we had gone out together last. So it was nice to feel human again! I must get over my dislike of asking people to do things for me so I can have a social life again.
I haven't been painting all week but I have been writing the Paint Pit newsletter, if anyone wants to put any events in there let me know. I cleaned out my studio and started to sort out my filing cabinet.
I did manage to courier 4 of my paintings to Dawson and Hall Gallery located in the heart of the beautiful Mackenzie Country. Owners Chris Dawson Taylor & Caley Hall both have a life-long passion for art & are thrilled to be able to bring their unique & original contemporary art, sculpture & jewellery finds to Fairlie
We have had Amanda, my sister, over here for the past week which has been nice to catch up, hopefully we can go and visit her family next year in London :)
I don't know how I managed it but I caught a cold for the 2nd time in a month, and have been a bit out of right mind this week but have managed to stumble through with only a little bit of grumbling.
I started to do meditation at night instead of going to bed and watch TV and it is awesome I have such a deep sleep. I signed up for an online course at onlinemeditation.org which is nice and basic!
I'm really impressed with how fast the tobacco plants are growing....

There are lots of other things I could write about but I think that is enough for one post. I'm thinking maybe 1 or 2 posts a week might be a good part of my plan. I'm still posting a photo every day here
