...anyone there? Hi! Clarkie here...had to go away for a bit. Had to see a few men about a bunch of dogs I guess.

But I think I'm back.

Yeah...I think I am. If you'll still have me of course... :-)

Normal programming has been disrupted due to necessary relocation :(

In short, we moved house this weekend and broadband now won't be reconnected until next weekend and I'm limited to LJ at work.
Which is doubly annoying because I'd just caught up with the bloody meme!
Plus I'm in pain, I've discovered aching bones in my body I didn't even know ( Read more... )

Day 24 - A picture of something you wish you could change

If I could go back to the beginning there's lots of little things I'd change about myself - slightly smaller nose please God? How about stretching my legs out just a little? But overall I've come to terms with my physical attributes.

Except one. My eyes, or my eyesight to be precise.
Last year ( Read more... )

Day 23 - A picture of your favorite book

I love books. I love the touch and feel of a book in my hand and the experience of 'sitting down with a good book'. I'm a bit old school in that regard.

There are lots of books that I love, but my favourite tome is always the latest from my favourite author, Patricia Cornwell. Her novels are praised for their ( Read more... )

Day 22 - A picture of something you wish you were better at

Painting!

I think I mentioned recently that a good friend of ours has encouraged me to take up painting again after 17 years. I've been taking baby steps, starting with just sketching and slowly moving back to oils. I'm so rusty though...I haven't dared share anything with anyone yet. Maybe ( Read more... )

Day 21 - A picture of something you wish you could forget

This is the only picture I could find. No one deserves to be treated how this man treated me.
Some people say I'm lucky. I say they wouldn't say that if they'd met me 7 years ago.
I'm not angry anymore; but I am sad.
I wish I could forget; but I'll never be able to.

Day 20 - A picture of somewhere you’d love to travel

Admittedly joncub kinda beat me to this one but I do have a variation! I moved to Australia because I fell in love with the country and the people and whilst I try to explore as much as I can there's still so much I want to see. So I'd love to travel east to west, right through the middle of Oz. The ( Read more... )

Day 19 - A picture and a letter (either a letter of the alphabet, but you must explain; or a real letter)

Well this is a bit of an odd one...
OK - so it's not exactly a letter, more of a note. And I'm posting a picture of four letters in fact.
A couple of years ago JR was asked to help out in Hobart Airport (that's in Tasmania for those not in the ( Read more... )

Forgive me - was away this weekend so playing catchy uppy....

Day 18 - A picture of your biggest insecurity

My biggest insecurity is betrayal. By loved ones, close friends, people I trust.
I know it's a factor of life: it's happened plenty before and it will happen again.
But I have to admit that betrayal affects me terribly - I can shut down, ( Read more... )

Day 17 - A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life in the past year

This little chap. Whilst I love both of them, I formed a particularly strong connection from the moment we picked them up and he bounded over and put his paws on my foot.

He follows me around, is very rarely more than 3 feet away from me and wants to be involved ( Read more... )
