Resumptions

Back at work today .... *blink* .... there was time off, wasn't there?

I'm stronger though, than i've been for a while, looking at the mayhem which seems to have continued unabaited through my leave. The world at large has gone mad, only my glasses are clean now, and i can see it so clearly. I am less attached now, i think i found my centre again. I can actually contemplate wrestling the universe now. Except being a taoist, i think i shall swim the currents, and direct myself towards more rewarding shores.

Rest in Peace Pravesh. He died while on route to a breakfast run over the weekend. Single vehicle motorcycle accident. I knew him as a fellow marshall, and he was always in good spirits, well behaved on the road, and excellent company. A young indian guy, i am sure he leaves behind many loved ones.

I think that Think Bike is one part that will play less in my life this year. I still support the "cause", but my energy neds to be focused elsewhere. As Pratchett put it so well (i paraphrase): "You can pick up a cause on every street corner, but there's only one of ME".

Woodwork is my new passion, and now i have the tools, and the old man as a guide, i expect great things. Anyone want an easel? They are damned expensive in the shops, and i do a very good easel i'm told. Small beginnings :)

If you see my bloglist under people i know, there's a new listing for "creative spirit". My dear wifey, and her beadwork. This blogspot really is great, and i enjoy watching people i know use i for their own personal reasons. Having a creative outlet is so important, as is sharing. She does sell her work, and makes to order, so perhaps a hand made jewellery set for a friend? She does some very fine work, click on the pictures for a closer look, really nicely done. 

That's about it for now, still owe a great many pictures, they're here now, so i'll resize etc over the week, and just post arbitrarily. 

peace
