funnily enough it isn't just not being online that is downright dampening at times.
·
it is as much the long(er) term consequences in realizing that not only can't i blog as usual, i am losing valuable time over running to the bank instead of home banking (i haven't tried my pj's outside yet, you see?), i cannot check train tables in-a-jiffy, i can't instantly look up how to engineer a good bechamel sauce (cookery books wrapped up in boxes), i even cannot TEND MY SHOP.
·
eek!
·
that is bad news.
·
the adventure has barely lifted off, and now this!
remember when i said i needed more time to open up shop, and then i took the time? as much as i hate to repeat myself, i am simply not able to shop update on march 21st. so much for seasonal happiness.
·
i mean i'm happy enough about things. but business wise i may have picked the worst of times to start up an occupation from home.
·
while having one foot in utility boots, sticking one hand in the paint pot and harbour a head full of plans and worry...
·
sometimes i simply forget i am a-one-brain in a-one-body in a-one-life. rest is as much treasured by the wicked as it is by anyone else {i like to believe}.
·
there.
·
i'm wicked.
i have been promised a substitute notebook {it has just arrived!}, to tide me over the obvious gaps as mentioned above.
·
i have promised myself i shall use my time sensibly and probably just hang out on your blogs i haven't been able to visit recently.
·
i shall not blog for now. i need to concentrate on painting, flooring and being overly happy in the real world.
·
as i'm regaining an online profile, i may try and catch a few missed episodes to ROGER & VAL HAVE JUST GOT IN (i hereby solemnly declare myself their biggest fan). i shall of course {and with great sadness to mine heart} finish the last pages to THEN by julie myserson.
·
in the meantime, i am also wishing you all a good morning, a good day and a good night.
·
happy corner viewing too.

Sounds like a big transition! I think a little time away from the internet never did anyone any harm, but just a little!
ReplyDeleteno internet
ReplyDeleteis sometimes a good thing
I get so much more done
when we do not have internet or computer
;^)
read your words
but love your images
I want to get into that hole
to see what is behind
like Alice
love

Sounds like a good plan Nadine. Hope you manage to relax a little too, you have a lot on your shoulders!
ReplyDeleteAgreed, sounds like a very good a sensible plan. Enjoy :D
ReplyDeletesometimes....
ReplyDeleteI would like to send my laptop to the mars,
or to trample about it,
or to senk it in a deep lake.
because I spend so much time with it and not with my colours and materials...
enjoy your rest, dear nadine! I wish you a creative time!
I was so fascinated by the pictures that I almost overlooked you're still offline. Well, as you have to whirl around your house that much right now, I nearly tend to think there is a deeper sense in the breakdown of your computer. So you are "free" to pull it all through now. And you do! I send some energy along! ;o)
ReplyDeletesounds like a lot is happening in your corner.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I would do without internet, but I find that I get a lot more done.
ps.love your photos - very interesting.
lieve Nadine, being cut off from the internet myself for the past two weeks i can say this, it allowed me to have the needed rest and now coming back and looking at everyone's blog is so much fun, (but then, ofcourse, i wasn't capable to cook, travel or do home banking or anything else, just lay down and sit and lay down again)
ReplyDeletepainting and flooring hm, that's were the more pleasant part of the job is beginning, no? or at least coming in sight.
nature spilled some wonderful moss-paint stains, i would like to follow that cable.
xx
I envy you your offline activities. Painting and flooring - yes, we have progress!!!
ReplyDeleteTake care, the notebook thing will get sorted. All gets sorted in the end.

That lichen is beautiful.... in the first picture it looks like a kind of monster coming out of a cave!
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best as you embark on a new adventure! It's funny - I can't be far from the computer when I'm home, but when I was in Africa, I was computerless and phoneless for over two weeks. It was WONDERFUL :-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!! I have found myself sort of away this week.
ReplyDeleteSoooo I made myself the same promise, that I'd make time profitable, that I'd visit blogs, that I'd deliver things at the right time.
ReplyDeleteBut it's impossible.
In the meantime, don't worry. That's what I like people to tell me. Things will come out well, maybe not as planned, but you'll get through everything.
And by the way you're not wicked, at all. You're lovely!
You deserve a good answer to that mail you sent me (centuries ago) and I deserve some time to answer it. I'm sorry. I miss you!
Big kisses and enjoy the painting, the building, the having your home ready! I'm looking forward to see the results :)
sometimes time is timeless
ReplyDeletesometimes time can be too short
sometimes time can be too long
take the time
everyday
xxx
time is the longest distance, from people, from blogs, from life itself... in that sence we all are wicked my friend ; )
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all your new projects. You can do it!
ReplyDeleteGoodness me ... I feel your frustrations and know what it's like to have yourself split in so many different ways, amongst so many different projects. I look forward to seeing your world set itself to normal again very soon.
ReplyDeletePS. Those images are glorious! :)
You were missed at the drawing challenge , it will be nice to have you back connected , xx
ReplyDeleteWell Nadine,I had to read it over and over again...to busy.
ReplyDeleteA little pause with blogging won't hurt..you have enough fans :-)
So take your time..to make things right and then START OFF AGAIN :-)
xx Ingrid
