i will write you. eventually.

french music. yes. it does wonders for the tired brain and exhausted mindset. i feel loved as they soothingly wrap their words around my world. it has been a busy and intense week. there are only a few more days until the photo shoot. half of me is exhausted. half of me is excited. there are more things to plan and more brain power needed to accomplish the task at hand. i work late and i work early. it is worth every inch of effort. it is worth more than my tired eyes. i have much in my brain to consider as i sleep. but i will sleep. eventually. i will write you. i will write you. eventually.

i will unpack. i will do my washing. i will organize my studio space. i will plan the writers club. i will read the end of my book. i will be thankful. i will cook for myself. i will rest on a weekend. i will book in an exhibition space. i will design. i will paint. i will. i will it. will i do it. i will do it all. i will. i will. i will. will i see you+smile?

florence and baggy jumpers.

Loving some new tunes of late. finding . searching . longing . Being back in the hum drum/lovely life I live, I have thought to place some constants in my world. the search for endless inspiration is one. the consistent search for the colours of this earth and to one day invent one that has never been seen by the soul. i will find you.
Another goodness is my blue / op shop / mans / lambs wool / knit / jumper. This comfort is pure joy to my exterior epidermis.

loving this now

you will leave but carrying this tune.

can it even get greater?

vacation

Time has beautifully been suspended in the domains of the sky as I have vacated towards my birthplace. From Scotland to Ireland and soon to London, there has not been one moment lost in appreciation for where I have come from, or the joys of seeing my beautiful sister wed her love, with a celebration of marriage. There have been the most momentous times with friends and family... I am a well nourished soul (A well nourished soul with a well nourished stomach). I will not even begin to account the chocolate I have consumed this last month. I spare a moment in thanks to the divine for gracing me with the highest metabolism. He must have known I would love chocolate this much.


Memories so far :

Seeing my sister, just as I arrived.
Skipping stones with my dad as we walked along a pier in Scotland.
My mums roast dinner and crumble she cooked tonight.
Seeing my sister in her wedding gown.
That first bite of Cadbury's caramel.
Dinner with my Pastor. Chats about books. The future.
Chats with Linda G on the sofa in Clements. That chai was so good.
The ceilidh at Jen's wedding. Yes boys in kilts do dance.
Seeing family I have not seen in years.
Hearing that my best friend might be interested of her own accord in the lover of her soul.
Walks in golden barley fields with cowboy boots and two faithful friends.
My new favorite game: Mexican Dominoes. Introduced by the Northey's
Seeing two of my best friends as husband and wife, AND playing Mexican Dominoes.
Drinking tea.
Fish and Chips and walking so far I got blisters.
Magheralin Church. Visiting my old choir pew, where I first fell in love with Jesus.
