A long rave

[CheerBear]

Morning everyone ☺👋

Great to hear you've had what sounds like a good start to the day @Mazarita. Hope it all goes well at your place today and you enjoy being with friend.

Thanks @Exoplanet 😊 We've just had a funny school drop off. My little found out that having a broken bone is a bit like being a celebrity at school, though there is someone with a full leg cast and from memory leg trumps arm in terms of playground fame 😉 They're doing really well which is great!

Hugs for you @outlander. Hoping you can find some helpful distractions to pass the time ❤

Wondering if you have some NDIS things to sort out today @eth. Hoping if you do, they go well for you.

🌞 for the day ahead for all.

The local fence contractor came yesterday & I'm still daring to feel very positive about it! I showed him the local fence material shops quote on the materials I still need to get & he took a thousand dollars off of it!!! He does need to bring his tractor over & clear the line up, but there's already a thousand dollars I can put into that 🙂 He also mentioned he'd hope he could get to it before Christmas, . . . so it won't happen too soon - but I think this is the one . . . he could have said nothing about the materials & charged extra for the clearing. 

I'm off to the shops today, refilling the cupboards {particularly the most important pet one! :D}. I'll grab some more netting clips while I'm at it, as I've been using them pretty freely 😉 My little dog is already not going outside the fence very often & considering I've only done the front half of the fence, meaning he still has all the back half that he could go through . . . I'm pretty chuffed about that 😄 Yesterday he was whining at the front fence because he couldn't get out! 🙂 😄 ! & I've gone down the driveway a couple of times now without him following, . . . it was just the best sight ever to see him impatiently waiting on the inside of the houseyard fence when I returned 😄 😄 😄

Going to my friend's place when the tradesman arrives, @outlander. He'll be working here all day. I'm not coming home until late afternoon, so no walk on the beach today, @Exoplanet. But I might go for a little walk in the nature reserve near my friends place at some time during the day. Say hello to the ducks and other wildlife. 🙂

Hugs for it all, @outlander. And hugs just because, @Exoplanet.

Doh, this message has taken about 10 minutes to write and post on this old mobile, lol.

Good to see you, @CheerBear, @Former-Member. 🙂

[outlander]

sounds like a chilled sort of day. is your little girl at school today?
@Former-Member

thank you @CheerBear im glad your little is taking the break well and of course they are famous 😉 im sure theyll have many tales to tell this afternoon. hoping theres some good moments for you today too.. are you at the crafty thingy group today?

[outlander]

thats great @Exoplanet looks like your fencing is about to get underway pretty soon. aw thats cute with your dogs. at least they arent running away! its cute watching them trying to be very patient lol.

@Mazarita i hope you have a great time at your freinds house today. a walk in the nature reserve sounds lovley though, maybe your friend would like to go with you too... ?

[CheerBear]

No group today @outlander. I won't be able to go this week as it's when middle is booked to see the ortho but thats OK. I'm thinking of having a go at making a crochet dog because it has felting as part of it and I haven't played with that one for a while. Have you been up to anything arty or crafty lately?

[outlander]

thats ok @CheerBear there will be other weeks to go. oh i seen something on facebook i wonder if ican find it. they make look alike animals made from foam, felt and cotton wool. its heaps clever i think it would be something you would like.
no, no arts or crafts here lately. havent really felt up to it as much as what i normally would

[CheerBear]

Oooh looking forward to seeing it if you find it @outlander ☺ I'm heading off hunting for a dog nose and some eyes for this maybe creature. Hope today's OK for you 💗

[Mazarita]

@outlander, @CheerBear, still waiting for aircon guy. He texted and may not even be here before midday now. No Tv or computer to occupy me as they are unplugged and furniture moved for access. Just this creaky old mobile and meditation, lol.

CB, so cool middle might even be able to enjoy the fame of injury at school. Good to hear of more craft projects on the burner too.

I haven't been making videos for about 6 or 7 weeks now. An unusually long break, just haven't had the energy for it. But yesterday a collaborator wrote to me wanting to do a new project. So something is at least starting to move forward again, even if only in concept at this stage.

Hope you can find some inspiration for creative stuff soon too, @outlander.

good morning all

@Exoplanet @eth @Mazarita@CheerBear@outlander@Former-Member 

fencing scenario sounds much better....I think that you have someone who will do the right thing by you now...still keep on top of it....

love that your dog sits waiting at the front face for mummy to come back....totally unaware that the back is an avenue for escape...

reminded me of how we all are sometimes in our self judgement...only see what is directly in front of us...not at the sides or in the background....

eth...you are perhaps letting go of the reins a little.....the tears that are flowing need releasing....your body letting you know that you are safe to let go and just be you...you have achieved your goals....now is time to rest a little for the next part of your journey...

all very easy for me to sound as though I have all of the answers all of the time...I am experiencing the very same in my rehabilitation....I am expecting far too much from myself....pushing myself too hard...having to slow down my pace...listen and notice my pain....yes cry...I did not think that I had any tears left....when I do this I find that the next day I have more energy....

change is such a beast for us who try so hard in life to get along with ourselves...

it is so very good for us though...

you are doing so very well ...even though you do not think so just now...it is all good to notice where you are...

big hug eth xxxx

sorry everybody else I have run out of steam....

big hug for all of you...

remember to be gentle with yourself...perhaps we can all work on this together today....think of all of the energy that we will create...

take care
