It's been swell

... but the swelling's gone down

My first blog has been a really enjoyable learning experience (emphasis on the learning) - I was excited to share my thoughts on all of my many interests and to find a few new friends along the way. Now it's time to step away and let new ideas and directions emerge.

Thanks for visiting and stay tuned for my next adventure...

Just in time for winter

It's been a while but I wanted to pop in and share with you the end to what has been a very exciting project. Do you remember the mantlepiece we installed at the end of last year?

febfast update: Week 4

It's the 1st of March! You know what that means don't you - yeah yeah summer's over but what else? I made it through febfast!

I'd like to thank each and every one of you who's encouraged me with your words and donations - they all meant a lot to me. I faced a few challenges along the way but overall I appreciated the opportunity to enjoy a clear head and believe it or not - less temptations and distractions. I have discovered lots of delicious alternatives to alcohol which are here to stay although I do look forward to savoring a glass or two of mouth-watering Victorian wine one day soon.

If you had intended to donate (but wanted to see if I'd succeed first) you can still sponsor me until 31st March. And if you're considering a week or a month 'on the wagon' - I highly recommend it - you'll feel great and be so proud of yourself when you've achieved your goal!
