My New Favourite Song…

We learned this for a group we attend on Friday mornings… I love it 😀
Their other songs are pretty good too….

Going Up…

…or down! 😀

I’ve been looking at painted stairs… one day, when I have a flight of stairs to call my own, I want to decorate them in some meaningful way…
Stairs get you where you’re going. They ease the transition from one level to another. Maybe even raise your consciousness! (ha)

Here are some stairs to lift your spirits 😀

These are slightly angelic/ethereal… you could float up the stairs!

Smile! Big!

Understated, but eyecatching…

Hello! I love you!

Um. Wow.

😀
… possibly a close-up?

Doesn’t this look like a waterfall?

… and here’s a pink version..

Library stairs?

Gorgeous! 😀

Some tiled stairs…

Wow!

Go forth.
..and glitter!
😀

Insanely Beautiful

I love miniatures. The skill involved with making them is amazing….
These are… jawdropping…

The artist’s name is Dalton Ghetti… you can go to his site and buy postcards of his work… 😀

Curious?

……………………..

Today, I came up with an idea for the boys… simple but, hopefully, ultimately useful.. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before 😀
Many years ago, when I first left for England, I had a tiny little diary. I didn’t actually use it as a diary (I had another book for that) so I started to note down all those little things that I found as I read, that I wanted to keep for later. Eighteen years later it’s nearly full, so I’ll be looking for another tiny book soon..
In there, I can find all sorts of recipes, for food as well as herbal remedies. I have various exercise programmes (most of which are still, sadly, unused..) I have information about the best places to visit when I am in London (or Cambridge, or Oxford..) as well as interesting websites and a poem/quote or two…

Today I thought I would get the boys to start their own book -something they can keep for years, and rediscover wonder whenever they want to. I told them to put in anything that makes them go “Wow!” We’re calling them “Curiosity Books”. We will intentionally seek out topics and places that we don’t usually look at…
School will only last for a time. Curiosity will be with them forever.

Another Mini Holiday…

Perhaps, one day, I could tumble out of bed…

Watch the sun rise…

…and stop to smell the flowers..

I could go for a swim…
vacation travel photos - Oh, How I Wish I Were Here

.. then sit and admire the view, while eating my picnic (selection of cheeses, with crusty bread. And something to do with chocolate..)
vacation travel photos - Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy

I could go for a drive..

then back to the beach for fish and chips..

As the sun sets…

..I would walk quietly into the evening..

Brain Hemisphere Hat

Brain Hemisphere Hat made of paper.

Then we shall all go out and wear them in public… 😀
