June 10; In retrospect I think I could have made the 10 more prominent. That’s going to be annoying!!

Today I met with another artist, full of inspiration and enthusiasm! It was wonderful to talk art and materials and everything else. Then I went home and did laundry. I haven’t tried the drier yet, but maybe one day.

Still working on getting good quiet sound and enjoying the latest drawing for the course I’m taking.

It’s hot.

June 9; Usually I don’t like to use diminutives. It scrapes my nerves when grown women are referred to as girls and I usually dislike being called a ‘chick’. But today is different. Today I saw the fruits of much labour being harvested in the form of several fat, juicy and delicious looking chickens. So today, just this once I will cave and say I went on a chick adventure. It began with clover and ended I with a new chair. The world was put right, just for today. Carry on.

June 8; A reconnection with an interesting person and a new connection I’m less convinced about! Met with a person I knew in high school and briefly saw again recently. We had a lovely walk and a lovely chat - some people are just interesting! A trip to nearby city of Strathroy also found TaJin spice/seasoning from a little shop - I’m a terrible cook but the variety of treats they had on offer looked so enticing! I got to spend time with my favourite sister as well which is always a bonus.

I’m also starting to get my sound studio up and running to start to record audio again. There’s a lot to be done to soundproof and diminish the echo but it’s in the works! If you have an audio book needs narrating get in touch.

June 7; One of my self imposed rules for this diary is making one matchbox in every 24 hour day. Some days the rules are harder than others. Some days, I’ll admit, I’m not paying full attention. Some days I write the wrong date on the box. This one, I was so excited about making the slider reveal, I put a 6 and didn’t notice until I went to photograph it I. The morning. Can I blame it on being blinded by these stunning poppies?

Woke up to them blooming their little faces off!! I love them - they are so striking! I had to sit and get the paints out and do some sketching. I’ve got peonies in the house and poppies in the yard now, what could be better?

June 6; Reconnect! Once again I am reminded of how lucky I am. I am part of a wide ranging family, both sides of which are filled with lovely, unique, interesting people! This was only one side and there were several sorely missed but what a lovely day it was!

I’ve always been the absent one, the distant and rare visitor. It’s so good to be able to join in and reacquaint myself with the lovely, warm, welcoming family I have! Before they have a chance to get sick of me! 😂😂😂

June 5; On my way to Canada, on the plane, I took my reading glasses out of their case and went to put them on. ‘SNAP’ one of the arms broke in half. I stared at them for a moment and put them back in the case and shoved them in the back of the seat. Then when I got off the plane, I forgot them.

It’s not a huge deal. They are a slightly older prescription. They are useful but not essential. I hadn’t noticed their absence until I was far enough from Toronto to make the drive back to collect them a calculation of time and effort against value.

But then family stepped in. Someone was flying the next week and agreed to pick them up for me at the counter. And just like that a small niggling problem was solved. I didn’t need to let that drop, I can fix the glasses and use them again (they are great for sewing). Today was a day for mending broken parts and looking toward the next step.

Thanks again to the people who help my world to turn. I am grateful for each and every one of you. (And thanks to MJ for picking up my glasses).

June 4; My rock hit bottom for a day or so. Memories of my life in HK linger shadow everything I do. Today is a tragic day, a day of the past that has never been acknowledged. It’s hard to think of how to move forward from that. Politics aside though, moving countries and changing circumstances is never easy. It feels good though, when I can let myself let go of the raging anxiety, it feels like it is the right thing to do. I’ll keep working hard and keep moving forward.in the meantime I’ll smell the flowers and worry about f I should be watering the garden.

Face forward friends and take a step. You are not standing alone. Your past should be remembered but it does not solely define your future.

June 3; I’m not always the most stable person mentally, I’ll admit but I felt under pressure of time and place on this day. This too will be overcome with time and patience. Need to give myself a break. Others too.

When I make these matchboxes I give myself rules. I make one a day. I post them (eventually) online if they are appropriate to do so. If it’s too much I can stop. But sometimes the too much is only in the posting so I’ve given myself a break these few days and made it post when you are able. It takes the pressure off.

May 31; Migraine days are my worst. It does something to me to have migraines, makes me jangly and spikes and paranoid. Today was a double dose migraine day and I won’t say I did not do anything I regret. I will try to be a better person tomorrow.

My car is really clean though.

May 30; Everyone expects the city to be loud but what I didn’t expect was to be woken up by the honking of geese!! I’m finding the space I’m in soothing as I recover from the move. Apart from these honkers but I like that too.
