Where did that come from?
January seemed to rush by in a haze of books, beach visits, hot nights and walks with friends. Here we are in February already and if we are ready of not, time has moved on.
I am back at work and as you may have noticed, I am writing again. My supervisor has wisely instructed me that in order to deal with the stress of full time work I require something else in my life that energeizes me and so here I am. Back writing and eating, doing things that I love and that bring joy.
Yes, psychologists have their own therapy in some ways. Regular supervision is legislated and what a privilege it is to be forced to do something so wonderful, esoteric and ultimately helpful. I recommend it highly.
So this year I will be writing again. What joy!
And yes, I know that blogging is dead. Facebook put paid to that back in the day. But who cares? Not me. I will potter along writing and I will miss those who used to do it with me and maybe one day peace will be restored to the creative blogging community.
Some of you are still out there.
Pounding the keyboard and for that I am grateful. You kept me entertained during Covid’s long Winter and you add joy and colour to many corners.
So what else am I doing? I am cooking fun new recipes from TikTok as much as possible. So many experiments and quite a lot of success. I still love finding new cafes to visit and I still love the communal experience of a coffee or meal in a cafe. What’s new friends? Send me your tips and ideas of places to visit and dishes to try.
I am also wading through weeknight dinners. Sometimes with weariness. Those dinner time meals occur far too reliably don’t they?
Here are a few other updates.
- I recently visited Port Fairy again and we camped on the river this time and it was paradise.
- I’m loving making my waffle recipe although these days I use gluten free flour. It works out just swell every time and oh, what a special treat homemade waffles are.
- I also read a lot in my free time. A book on tears, a book on murder, a book on potions. What is on your must read list this month?
I hope this finds you well.
