Art

Art - my new passion for 2016

At the end of last year I took up watercolour painting and I am loving it.  Art is so relaxing. I was between jobs and thought I would try my hand at it.

So here is my impression of Uluru or Ayer's Rock in Australia. Looks pretty easy to paint, but trust me it is not.

The Aboriginal people believe that Uluru was created at the beginning of time by Spirit people and is hence considered a sacred or spiritual place.

I've never been to Uluru but would  love to visit. Somehow I've always felt it was a place of significance though I don't know what that significance is. Perhaps that will be clear when I get there someday.

This week I went back to work - same place I finished up at in September so I am thrilled to be back there as I love it there.

My son got accepted into the Architecture Master's programme so I am thrilled about that and so proud of my boy.

Been reading Beyond Past Lives by Mira Kelley - an interesting read though some parts of it I did not resonate with. But then that is what books are all about - you take what feels right and discard what doesn't. Her book raised a lot of questions so I guess from that perspective that's good.  Will have to meditate on the answers.

I hope you all had a good week.

Quaint

Loved these quaint pavements in Portugal

You've probably figured out that I love armchair travelling. I've travelled to many places in the world and my trusty camera has captured weird and wonderful scenes.

A few day ago I was watching a show on the Living channel and came across Portugal. What a beautiful place. 

But the thing that caught my eye was these quaint pavements.

    

And now some quick fragments from my week

I finally backed up my computer. Thank goodness that was long overdue. I came across so many posts on facebook of computer crashes and I wasn't going to tempt fate.

Celebrated Diwali with friends today. We had some interesting conversations on Spirituality and the Universe. Some fascinating stories were exchanged.

But overall it was a pretty quiet week.

Hope you've had an interesting one.

Priceless and Precious

Priceless, Precious - Watching the ABs win

ABs = All Blacks, New Zealand's Rugby team

Once again it is party time for Kiwis. What a moment when Richie McCaw held the Rugby World Cup for the 2nd time back to back. First team to win back to back and first to win the Rugby World Cup three times.  What a sweet, precious and priceless moment. What an awesome game.

Unfortunately wasn't able to watch this at Twickenham, England so the next best thing is watching it live on TV.

So here are some pics, taken from the TV. I do a lot of armchair travelling, watching sports etc. Thank goodness for TV.

And some other fragments of my week

Little sleep with my son staying up all night to around 4am all week. But the last assignment is in and a good night's sleep can resume,

My routine yearly blood test results arrived and relieved that all is normal. Thank goodness,

On the other hand, my car needed some repairs and now my credit card weeps. I think it's time for a new car. I've had this one for a long long time. A little sad as I love this car. 

Met up with some friends again for coffee, F and I love watching the planes at the airport so we spent a few fun hours there. And my Indian friend and I had lunch together and chatted about our childhood in India. 

And six little kids came trick or treating yesterday and they got some freddo frog milk chocolates from me. 

Hope you had a great week. Do share your highlights.
