Sea swimming be like...
Does anyone else find this glorious lady relatable? Funny how our own self image can be too, right? In some ways, I've never felt more beautiful than I have, since making the decision 18 months ago to choose life, choose movement, nutrition, strength, endurance. But yet, emerging from the water only last week, this is exactly how I still felt. Makes me realise the transformation from the outside now needs to do the work inside. Starting with a whole lot more positive self talk. That little voice in my head that belittles me at any chance, that for so long hindered me from taking risks, from saying yes, to all sorts.
My body may be healthier, may move a lot faster. I may be more flexible, but, my inner voice can still be just as critical and ruthless as always.
Isn't my hippo still beautiful though? Does a hippo hide her size? Does she try to breathe in to appear more lithe to be considered more attractive? Heck no.

I was feeling pretty smug with myself for nabbing this fine knit TU jumper from my local charity shop. I was dying to pair it with this vertical stripe royal blue and white dress. I paired it with my earrings I had bought from a stall in Majorca in October and looked at my reflection in the mirror, pleased with myself for assembling this colour rich, funky outfit. I went downstairs, did a twirl for my 10 year old and asked her would my outfit do for her GB display tonight. Her response was, at least I will see you, because I'm sure no one else will be wearing a bright orange jumper. Recovering from the sting of the blunt reply, I said, I'll probably have my jumper off as I will be roasting, so, it'll prob just be the dress....to which she replies....ah, don't worry, I'll still be able to easily spot you with your blinding stripes.
You've got to laugh. Zero filter. Zero flips given. I added a new layer to my thick skin today. 😂😜

It's that time of the week again. PARKRUN. Those of you who know my story, will know that I laced up my trainers last Jan (2023) for the first time in a loooong time. I've been going to the gym, focusing on building muscle, increasing general fitness and going to a few classes along the way too. 10 parkruns ago, I decided to give my local parkrun a go, fully intending on walking it, but, ended up running part of the way. I caught the bug, the dopamine rush, the endorphin high and here I am, this morning, getting ready to leave the house to complete my 11th parkrun. I've signed up to a local running club, to complete C25K and we have just finished week 2. Never in a million years did I think I'd be setting my alarm on a sat morning to go running... but here I am. 39 years old and becoming a runner. I'm so blown away by the fact it's never too late, I'm so lucky to have the health to be able to run, all be it slowly and in fits and starts, but, my goodness, it feels good to be able to move my body and feel great after!

Help me out. As part of our home education journey, on a trip out today, I decided to ask the kids to take a range of photos, that they would be free to edit and adjust as they seen fit, as a wee competition. I said at the end of the day, they could submit them to me and I'd ask you guys to pick which one you favour. We've talked about how best to take pictures, lighting, camera settings on their phones, etc etc. Please comment below, which one is your favourite and if you can, why. Thank you so much.

I don't think there is anything I don't love about colour. Everytime I work with any medium that produces bright, rich in colour hues, it sparks off all of the happy feelings in my brain. These little circles I've punched out of a sheet I covered in my favourite watercolours, pigments all swirly and glittery, are just the happiest little things. Planning to have a play around with resin, pin badge attachments and keyring holders...to see what I can make out of them. So much potential.

I *think I've finished this painting, but, will let it ruminate for a few days before I varnish. I had so much fun making this piece, feeling it's so very me, my style. The colours, fun, arrangement, pattern, I love it all.
