Eyespot’s fun

Had coffee with Asha yesterday and the best lemon meringue pie in Traralgon from PJ’s. Asha had a white hot chocolate. I am glad we went there, haven’t been there for ages and it was divine! The sculpture they have in there next to the comfy couch we sat on is in my little clip I am sharing with you.
Tom went off on his trip to QLD with his dad. I miss him already!
Yesterday I played around with Eyespot. It was great fun. I made this little clip:

I like it!

I watched a couple of movies. Nothing worth mentioning, purely entertaining and forgettable, action and adventure.
I am reading a Gary Crew book at present, an older one called “No Such Country”. It has archeology in it so I love it. It’s also a bit scary and because it’s a kid’s book, I’m hoping I’ll cope with that. I am teaching history to the 7s and 8s this term so I am all passionate about archeology and history. I’m gathering a pile of great books for the holidays and I can see it in sight so I’m feeling good about that.

Once

I finished Once last night. It is a beautiful story and reminds me of the lovely Italian film ‘Life is Beautiful’. A bittersweet reminder that even in the most cruel circumstances, our perception of our experience is what defines us. We enrich others by sharing a positive view of the world, encouraging them to see a more magical and loving reality.

Heartbroken

Ella passed away this week. The emptiness is vast. I hurt for Andy’s massive loss also. He has loved her and had her as a constant companion for 11 years. I have never been privelaged to see such a close bond. She was a blessed part of our lives and her beauty and grace will continue to be missed for a long time.
