Facing The Fear

I don’t do Halloween.
Our neighbours do…

Yes, it’s not very clear – had to take it quickly because there were people walking around it and I don’t like to put random strangers (at least their faces) on here without permission.
That’s just one section of the yard – there’s lots more to see. And at least some of them are movement activated, so we’re getting strange sounds drifting across from time to time.

Skeletons don’t scare me, but I have been putting off carving my lino block for my next assessment.
I’m very good at procrastination.
Got started on it today and, as usual, it wasn’t as hard as I’d thought it would be. Not the design or design transfer anyway. The actual carving requires more energy than I had today, so I’ll continue tomorrow. Of course, it would all be easier if I didn’t take aeons to think about everything that could go wrong!
The block that I’m using is 40 years old, so it might not be as easy to use as these new-fangled lino blocks…

Yes, I have carved a bit more than that!

I think I’m so tired today because we were out yesterday (I pretty much came home to bed). Glad to be able to be out and about, though 🙂
We went to our favourite place.

🙂
Checked out the flowers before going in.

I don’t know what these are, but they look like tiny parrots.
Pink seemed to be the order of the day.

…and a welcome cup of hot chocolate.

I did find my own little monster for the windowsill.

A…dinochicken? Chickosaur?

Like I said earlier – I don’t do Halloween.
I do, however, do “silly”.

😀

Like Nobody Else

Just a fun little interlude for you 🙂
This was done sometime during quarantine, presumably to help cheer people up (also as a fundraiser to help musicians who were unable to make a living without live performances).
I haven’t listened to a lot of Voiceplay, but this one turns up on my YouTube suggestions every so often. It’s a collaboration with a lot of different people (and includes a cameo by my favourite bass…)

Singing can be beneficial for your health – even if you don’t think you’re any good at it! Your voice, and the way you relate to music, is unique to you.
Apart from that, it’s just fun 😀
So pick a song. Any song.
And just sing!
