I started the day with drilling a few holes in my sheep. As you do.

And also a hole for the knob for the fairy door.

Then there was a whole bunch of other little jobs to do and I feel a real sense of satisfaction that they all got done.

I even had time to spend a little snatch planning my upcoming art project. I have just joined an art group and it has given me an incentive at last to work on something artistic. I sent an email round at work yesterday asking for models for some photos and was surprised and extremely pleased with the response so that has spurred me on to organise myself.

I need a bit of direction at times.

Not that I’m short of projects.

In fact on the subject of short, I realised today how short I am when I had to climb onto a chair to get at a box on top of a cupboard and I still couldn’t reach.

The fairy door is not for me actually this time; it’s for a present for someone. We were quite surprised to find that when the girlie googled ‘fairy door’ in images my blog pic from ages ago was on the first page.

And the sheep are for the toilet wall and they have little faces and legs made of black cord with knots for feet. I think they are quite funky really. My daughter’s friend said I should open my house for paid public inspection, she said she would definitely pay to visit my lavvy. I don’t know if she meant spend a penny.

I feel something I haven’t felt for ages, a sense of purpose.

I dare say it won’t last.
