marcos, if you read this: i made 2 megaposts about my (very limited) painting experiences. i'd like to post them in a thread where we can all share out art experiences but not everyone is comfortable with sharing so it might be *crickets*
what else have i been into right now? to be honest, not much. i'm having trouble keeping it positive so far this month.

I'd really like to get back into getting high and listening to music - even with just some CBD stuff. It really pains me that I can't get quality edibles in the UK.

Oooh Luna there's a particularly charming, touching travel memoir about Afghanistan in the '60s called LAND OF THE HIGH FLAGS. I'm sure it's out of print but if you can find a copy or a digital copy, give it a try? It's been a few years but I remember it being a gem.

LIstening to podcasts almost all day.Getting some clothing made. even if it is taking me longer than I thought it might. Have got 4 shirts done , 2 pairs of trousers. Now working on a jeans jacket.MIke Barnes A New Day Yesterday.reading the sewing machine manual The Sewing Machine Master Guide by Blodgett and hoping that it will translate to my knowledge in a practical way. But I think that might take a lot more hands on experience of working with the various parts of the machine not just sewing with it.looking forward to some new music arriving. Guerssen have their mailorder facility back up and running after it wasn't for a couple of weeks. So finally bought a package that I'd been meaning to for a while might go back for more. Nice middle eastern stuff.hopoing that every ache and pain isn't the rona.& that the good weather isn't making people spread it further than necessary.Paying a bit more attention to the plants on my balcony.Going back to the multiple veg chopping thing i was doing up to autumn last year. THink I was not getting the health benefits from the air frying roots thing I was doing since. But may need to go back to cutting back on the meat.Was getting into dance before teh pandemic , probably should get down to springcleaning so I have a space to doing the zoom classes in.
