I can read
Read my thoughts
Thoughts joined together
Together in words
Words made of letters
Letters linked with lines
Lines make it cursive
Cursive makes it MINE!
My awful cursive

I’ve come back!
30 year old self portrait with cat. I’ve not been well lately. So I haven’t posted here as much lately. I’m tired and aching, sleeping a lot and basically fed up. My arms, hands and feet ache, my knees ache in bed. I wish I had the energy of the young woman I was. I’m ageing and it annoys me!
It cheers me up to see it. It’s in the living room with me. X
Collage
I just found out it has a collaging section where I can upload multiple images then add details like text on the top. This is part way through the process but I’m not sure what else I want to do with it. My cat picture looks like a set of stamps….
Sunlight
No matter how small my cat always seeks bright sunshine. He was playing with his catnip mouse, rolling around, kicking out with his back legs. Happy to be playing and enjoying himself…
Cats are like that, taking the opportunity to get warm and enjoying themselves. Next.. Nap time. Xxxx
Staying awake?
No, she sleeps
In a heap
Curl up and snooze
No time to lose
Carpe diem
Seize a snooze today!
Cat cards
Drawing a few cards for an art group I go to’s summer fair. I decided to use cats with patterns as a design. There is a cat in a hat, a sleepy sort of leopard style one and a couple sitting together.
I did quite a few last week of just cat heads and shoulders. It’s nice to just do a bit of relaxing illustration. The pens are a bit dried out so I’ve had to be selective with the colours. X
At writers group.
Writers group today, prompt was Truth.
We all had different takes on this. Fiction and non fiction. My truth was about symptoms and how they affect my life. One was about getting away from domestic violence. Another was a funny story about three young women competing against each other. It had a good twist at the end.
Eight of us enjoyed two hours of friendly discussion and support. Looking at styles of prose. Non of us want to be arrogant or egotistical, we just want to improve our craft. We may be doing this for fun. But it’s stimulating and interesting.
Plus tea and biscuits helps.
Always alert
What did he hear?
Ears pricked, sitting up
Staring into the kitchen.
Another cat
Staring back
Looking at him, waiting
Eating the food
I put down for mine
Cheeky puss cat
Grinning!
Garden centre blues
I went to the garden centre today, it was crammed with lots of colourful flowers and I wanted to fill a trolley with lots of plants to put in the garden like I do every year. But this year is different. I am not strong enough to lift and carry compost, to fill the pots, I don’t think I should walk around the garden incase I fall, I want to do something, but my friend who would help is ill. I’m going to try and ask another friend to help out. Wish me luck. I still want a beautiful display.
Time
Time ticks for all
Fast or slow, time passes.
Tempus fugit when you’re having fun
Unwind in the morning and relax
The world is turning slightly faster every day
Circadian rhythms control moods
Tired and sleepy night time beckons
Time loses us sometimes…
Infinity pools together..
