Ramblings

It's been a big week, really: drove around 900 km. Walked more than 63,000 steps. Visited 10 sites on my list of places to visit in Victoria. Wrote more than 3 blog posts lol. Spent much time in the garden today in the sun, mowing, weeding and trimming. Visited Bunnings. K1 kidnapped me to Aldi, from where I barely escaped with my life.

Fun times.

I've also - further developed some of my tools/products/services, moved closer to formalising the entire complex legal structure and learnt in one hour more about ADHD and grief than I have in ten years.

Tomorrow... back to work. 

...

But for now - some drawing, and here, an older drawing, selected entirely at random.

This last week has been a helluva year, don't you think? Or is that just me?

Just me? Oh, ok.

Outside of beyond-the-norm work dramas, I've been getting a lot of background work done, including:

• Organisational structure is ready to go to the solicitor & accountant (including the rules of governance and so on) for fine-tuning before tBPG becomes more than words on a page (on a thousand pages)
• Same for The Greatest Band That Never Was including a virtual creative space for the project, legalities and so on
• Website updates (most of which are not front-end or are private pages)
• A lot of writing - from An Odd Romance to lyrics and poems to Devil in the Church and even a little on I Can't Cook Part II
• The Philosophy, Principals and Method

Yeah, I'm feeling a little worn down but oh so satisfied.

I even made it out into the yard today, and managed some drawing. The image here isn't that drawing though. It's an older sketch of Winona. I haven't finished my current drawings, nor scanned them, and I rather like this effort. What do you think of it? How's your week been?

Silence is golden... unless you're talking about toddlers, and then it's usually time to panic ...!
In my case, it's just busy. Since my last post, I have been:

• in hospital
• working full time with an hour drive each way
• parenting
• working on:
  • "An Odd Romance" (now ~10,000 words)
  • the BPG Philosophy, Principals and now Method
  • working on CareerPivot
• writing lyrics/poetry
• looking to find testers for Sparkles (yes, still looking. Costs nothing, could bring you lots of benefits.)
• drawing (will post soon... maybe!)

and catching up with friends and family.

It's been a little hectic. But so worth it. And I am sure that as I bring these projects to completion, that worth will become apparent to many more people. Maybe even you? Have a flick through the site - chances are you'll find something that interests you. And then, shoot me a message, get in touch. Would be delighted to hear your thoughts and ideas.

Graphite & charcoal on paper

I really wanted to encapsulate the breadth and depth of emotion many in our (western) society are feeling today with what seems to be an unending string of disheartening events globally.
