Fun Ways to Stay Active…

What are your favorite physical activities or exercises?

My favourite physical activities have changed throughout my life…

When I was younger, I did a lot of athletics; sprinter and middle distance running. I didn’t get into the Olympics 🤷‍♀️ so…

I then went onto playing a lot of tennis and squash, nothing like smashing them balls! 🎾😉

I also love swimming, preferably in the sea…🌊

I trained and gained my qualification as a Sports Scuba Diver, this became part of my keep fit regime. And what a wonderful way to keep active!

As for now 🤔 I play a mean game of pool and snooker! (I’m a bit of a hustler, but don’t tell anyone).🤫 🎱

I love dancing 💃…when I say dancing, I don’t mean ballroom, I’m pure freestyle! 💃😅

Last, but not least…a bit of shenanigans! 😍😂🤪😅

Happy Wednesday! ❤️

Beatrix Potter

Back in the late 90’s all my friend’s kids were very much into Beatrix Potter characters.

Helen Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) was an English author, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist. She is best known for her children’s books featuring animals.

The Tales of Peter Rabbit and his friends.

Here are a couple of murals I painted for my friend’s children…many years ago!

Super Sunny Sunday 🌞

What could you do less of?

There are probably a million things I could do less, or cut back on…..

But, it’s Sunday, I want to chill a bit. If I were to list all the things I could, would, should, maybe, possibly, do less of…🤔🙇‍♀️ it would take several Sundays to list them. Give me a break!!! 🤷‍♀️🤪

So I’ll name the main one: Self doubt!

Happy Sunday! ♥️

Positive Life Events: A Year of Growth

What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

Hmm…quite a few, I think!

It’s actually been quite a distressing and lonely year. But, despite that, I feel I have accomplished a lot.

A massive, but positive event for me this year…was completing 10 months of EMDR therapy for C-PTSD. This was undoubtedly, one of the hardest, but necessary challenges for me….well, for a long time, anyway!

I joined the world of WP blogging. I believe I’ve made some wonderful friends and have built some positive connections. I have learned a lot and I hope I will continue to learn from my fellow artists, writers, poets …

To be featured in “FEATURES by VALENCIARTIST” on WP, of which I’m truly grateful.

I quit smoking!

I picked up my paint brush again.

I have completed two paintings, and I’m currently working on my third and fourth.

I continue to write the final chapter of my memoir.

For those who know 😉…shenanigans & 💃💃💃 will be escalated in 2025! 😂😂

Happy Saturday, my friends! ❤️

Severe Weather Alert!…

I’ve never had a mobile notification with a sound alarm going off like this before!

My garden visitors…

Why Da Nang is One Of My Favourite Travel Destinations

Do you have a favourite place you have visited? Where is it?

I have visited several countries over the past twenty years or so. One of my favourite places I have visited, has to be Vietnam. I spent a wonderful two weeks in Da Nang. The culture, scenery, food, and especially the people…they were so friendly and welcoming.

Da Nang is also known as the city of bridges.
