what my crystal ball told me to do

yes, i have a crystal ball, a real proper one -my other half bought me when we were in Glastonbury a few years ago-... i do consult it often, not to enquire about the 'future', per se, but to get insights on what i should be doing in the present- to make myself a happier person- the future is here and now, right?!
so this evening my crystal ball came really handy when i felt so drained and tired after a full on couple of weeks of mainly academic writing (not my favorite activity)... so a tiny moleskine with a selection of my drawings was what the crystal ball showed me... and i did just that, and felt a lot more relaxed and happier in myself after making it!
tomorrow i'll show you the inside :) hope you're having a great weekend. now, i certainly am!

a pink morning

pink milk, pink sky, mess at work, a box doodle and a red rose...have a lovely weekend!

early walk

and that's how the day started...a quiet local walk noticing trees lines and patterns. some of them look like paintings don't you think? maybe because it's against the gray sky which makes a perfect and natural canvas...
now, no time to spare. a nice cup of coffee and i'm ready for work. bring it on!
update: have you seen marie-louise's fresh out of the oven ASTROCATS?!!! gorgeous! and i accidentally got to name them! how cool is that?

another slowly writing day

yesterday forecast got it wrong and it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day in london. a day that i wish i could've been out there enjoying myself but instead i'm still here drowning in books, notes and non sense writing...
but had this gorgeous feline visitor on top of the shed in my garden, that was a lovely distraction and am being inspired by my little presents from fab blogger friends around me ***blackie doll from Ana and enamel tile from Alexandra *** let's always look on the bright side right?! happy wednesday! -OMG, wednesday already???

busy beeeeee

a quick hello before Tiny Red starts gathering dust. still unbelievably busy writing but my wrist is getting better and i've even managed to draw a new cockney geezer :) it's lovely and sunny outside, been out and about for a bit, spotted this beautiful underground poster and the che one is great too. as for the rest of the week, forecast says it's going to be dull and cold :::::: just as well, as i'll be chained to this computer finishing off my dissertation draft. will be popping round whenever i have a spare moment.
wishing us all a nice and highly productive week!
update- cockney glossary : syrup of figs = wig

a sunny day at last

sunny, yes but i had to spend it working in the campus...tendinitis is evil, typing is painful so i'll rest up and let the day's images do the talking. laters!

A is for 'a cloudy head'

and i've got real bad tendinitis on my right wrist... not having a great deal of fun at the moment... let's hope things will improve soon over at TinyRed's land.
have a nice week! :)

...

a little conclusion from 'el pensador in my head' - dissertation writing can seriously damage your mental health.

a little break

from writing to photographing. the latter makes me happier...happy saturday!

still here...

i prefer my typewriter...have a nice weekend!

breathing deep

piles and piles of books, notes, refs, thoughts... chaos... but trying to avoid getting too overwhelmed so am taking regular deep breaths, keeping calm and carrying on :)
hope your week is going well so far, mine is going faster than i'd expected. as usual, i always tend to underestimate Mr Time ***
