Art Every Day Month and some updates

Hi everyone, 

Just a quick heads up to let you know I have decided to participate in Art Every Day Month hosted by Leah on her blog - Creative Every Day . This runs for the whole of November. I participated for a few years running but that was some years back so time to give it another go. 

The thing I like about this challenge is that it encompasses all forms of creativity such as art, photography, handicrafts like crochet/knitting, writing, music, cooking, etc. 

To find out more and perhaps sign up for the challenge yourself, click the image below or click HERE. 


Some updates if you've been following my blog previous posts -

Firstly, I'm very happy to report that my brother and his brother-in-law have now been cleared medically after their ordeal at sea. You can read what happened HERE.

Secondly, I'm very sad to say that the three plover chicks I mentioned HERE did not make it. One by one, they disappeared as the days went on. Plover parents really don't look after their babies too well — unlike other bird parents I've observed.  I kept checking on them when they were down to just one baby and then, the poor wee thing just disappeared overnight. :(

And lastly, I have recovered from the fall I had while on our day trip, mentioned HERE. I do still have a hard, tender lump at the base of my chin but I'm sure that will fade in time.

We've had rain and storms over the past week. We had a break a couple of days ago and I snapped the pic below around 7am. Can you see the steam rising off the fence as the sun hits it? A warm day was ahead...


I also want to wish all who celebrate it a very Happy Halloween! I'm sure the pandemic will be affecting regular Halloween activities so enjoy it as you can but please stay safe. Australia doesn't celebrate Halloween in a big way even though participation has picked up gradually over the years. Below is an old Halloween sketch I did back in 2008.


And one from 2017

Love, Light and Peace to all.

    That steam coming off the fence is amazing! Never seen anything like it.
    I think it was a pretty quiet Halloween over here...or I sure hope it was. I never get any kids here in our apartment building but heard fewer kids were going around.

    Sorry about the plover babies. :(


    Glad your brother and BIL are checked out okay now and that you are doing okay, too.

    Have a great weekend, my friend. :)

    I'm glad your brother and his brother-in-law have been cleared medically, and that you're healing well after your fall. Sorry to hear about the chicks though... Such a shame. :(

    Hope you have a happy Halloween, and good luck with the challenge.

      Thanks, Tori. Yes, I was so sad about the plover chicks. :(

      I hear the UK is on a stricter lockdown after another Covid surge. Please stay safe and well. xo
