My little table


I recently aquired my first item of furniture here in the UK.
I found a pine table outside someone's house with the following note attached.
"Please take me if you can give me a good home"
... so I took the little orphan in... :-)

I'm quite chuffed with my table, despite the 'junkie pine' comments I received...
I guess people leaving old furniture out for whoever wants to take it is still a novelty for me.

Out in the park...


It seems every hour is rush hour here. There always seem to be traffic jams and people hurrying everywhere. The last week has been really exhausting work-wise with our supervisor being away and leaving me in charge... I found it quite stressful, especially not knowing what I was doing half the time. A couple of days off has come as a welcome respite.

I walked up into town and spent some time in the Town park yesterday, just to 'chill out' for a while. Getting out into nature helps me slow down. It makes me feel more relaxed and helps 'recharge my batteries'. I sat and watched the trees and listened to the birds. I took some bread with and fed the ducks too. They must be the most well fed ducks in Enfield!

My piano...


I bought myself an electronic piano not so long ago.

It's been over a year since I stopped taking piano lessons and I've become quite 'rusty'. It's going to take a while to get back into it, especially with everything else going on in my life at the moment.

I'm looking forward to it.
