A Day At Botanical Beach

Nothing does my mind and body better the time at the ocean.  Today was no exception at Botanical Beach.   Priceless.

Pottery Workshop On Salt Spring Island

I am just home from a great 2 day pottery workshop on Salt Spring Island at the Hey Julie School Of Clay with Julie MacKinnon.  Great instructor and facility and a potential pottery residency for September!  🤞🏼.  We are going to further discuss.  Stayed with Kim!  Great weekend.

A much better end to the month of January and start to February!

January-2026 Begins

Well, a nasty holiday season of being sick and feeling so awful and after a second round of meds and 12 days into January, I ventured forth for my belated, pivoted winter away from the cold.   Lee’s, Salmon Arm and finally to destination Lake Cowichan.   Lovely, quiet, wood smoke scented, foggy, lovely Lake Cowichan.  So much green.  So much fog.   A week of sun and then the expected rain..but gentle, warm, lovely rain.   I painted, walked and continued to rest.

Too Sick For Christmas

 I have strep.  I am unwell.  Stayed home to avoid infecting everybody.

Happy holidays! 😷🤧😳🥴😕

Oh December.

Had the Christmas gig at the Bassment this afternoon.  I have been sick all week with the flu.  Not yet 100% but better than I was at the gig on Tuesday.   I’d like to feel better now.   This, plus a bout of SAd has made for a most unpleasant month.   Here’s to better day starting now.  

I Do Enjoy Tutoring!

Just finished another Fall Term tutoring at King George.  Finished with the kids last week and wrote reports today.  So enjoyed Jarod, Christopher, Kyle, Maidie, Wedjan and Liberty.  Looking forward to another session in the spring!  (Bonus Julia Roberts picture from Samantha Kinzel! 😂)
