Post Easter - Blues or Boogy?

Back at work after Easter - with a funny positive feeling - the sky is Blue; the garden is growing well (apart from tomatoes which have died after pricking out!) - we have swallows in flying and the fish are jumping - well almost.

I feel 100% for the first time in a long while and I am enjoying my work and fell confident enough with my health not to worry about the future. I am as they say at an awkward age too old to care and too young to retire.

I went to Flame off last week and got really 'lit up' about making some beads and silver work  - so have signed up for a course in Silver Smithing.  Although I enjoy my academic work I also get  a great deal of pleasure from using my hands and creating stuff - even if it is just some woodwork around the house (put new cupboards in Looserbago*)

Last few weeks of teaching on Bedford - really pleased with final years students and at last feel that the programme in Singapore is working. Have had some positive communications with tutors - which gives me confidence in them.

So all's well - I just hope that life's dirty tricks department is closed for the summer!
