now

Here I am, after yet another long break.... sigh.

I guess sitting down here, finally, and looking at what feels like a very neglected blog does have its positive side. It's made me sit and reflect on what exactly i've been busy doing over the last few months, apart from work that is.

Since my last post I've travelled to the south of India and more recently to Nepal, i've had visits from both of my parents,  i've been to the Galle Literary Festival (which inspired me to start another book club and read some fantastic books), i've been trying to learn how to paint still lives, i've taken lots of photos and been trying to teach myself how to use Photoshop, i've cycled, i've joined a gym (and been going!), i've laughed, i've cried, i've shared, i've missed people, i've felt lonely, i've felt lucky, i've played badminton, i've practised yoga, i've been to the theatre to see some fantastic creative performances and i've continued to make monthly music mixes on Spotify....

So i guess i can look one of my greatest fears in the eye and affirm that i have not been wasting my time over the last few months.


But... over the past few weeks i've been becoming more and more aware of the importance for me to listen to the words i stuck on the wall of my kitchen in January....

i guess i've always known this stuff, it's just that i'm becoming increasingly aware of time passing so quickly, of this desire to "make the most" of life and of my own ability to choose what i do, who i do it with and where i do it.

change is in the air.
i can feel it.

who knows what my next post will say or when it will be, but i can guarantee it won't be empty.

here are some of the images i have been produced using my few found skills on Photoshop (still very much early days in that department), the originals they are composed of were taken with my wonderful new lens which arrived at the end of January.
