How do you manage stress?
It’s not really important how I managed stress. What is actually more important is how you deal with it.
Each of us will hit the bumps in the road at various points in our lives and stress will arrive. Short term stress is natural and helps us move along at times, chronic stress is something different entirely.
The NHS is a useful resource… Best I can do as I am a ex head teacher and current trainer, so my
This evening I decided to do a bit more terrain and as such instead of the more Medieval style of the last two I went for the good old Pringle tube and made a storage tank.
By made, I mean started… I got this far…
Still a fair old way to go but definitely getting a feeling for it. The thinner pipe is actually from the shower installation which actually fits really well. This was an offcut, strangely the height of a mini Pringle tube. I wrapped the pipe in thin brown paper.
I needed to have a little snooze this afternoon as my DIY shenanigans kind of wrecked me.
Well the shower is in and wired up. Gave it a test run earlier. Works fine 😁.still got to get the tops on the trunking and tidy up my mess then get stuff back into the loft
I am now knackered and will get on with more building tomorrow.
Well I couldn’t leave it looking like that so I went and found more dipping inks and had a faff about.
Believe it or not, the internal walls of the blue house are actually a cream colour. The same colour as the flagstones. I actually went back to check after looking at the photo. At least you can sort of see the sign this time!
Ground floor and first floor now have… errr…. floors.
Parts of my class equipment orders have started trickling in….
Today this arrived… Technically it’s a toothpaste tube squeezer or some rubbish like that. We all know its main role in life is to make corrugated sheeting for miniatures…
What’s a country that’s at the top of your bucket list?
Fart bags, I need a bath not a bucket…..
Buuuuut I will shorten it to top three (possibly).
Number One…
Canada:
I actually want to travel along the trans Canadian Highway…4860 miles. Vancouver Island to the Labrador coast. By travel I mean motor vehicle. Not walk!
Number 2…
Japan:
Always had a lovely of all things Japanese so would really, really love to visit.
Number 3…
Norway:
Must be my Viking Blood, which is a bit weird because I have more Breton than Nordic countries in my DNA.
And in No particular order…
To Sudan up the Nile… historical interest
China…a bit like Japan, just an interest in the history of China.
Australia…lot of family moved out there…
New Zealand…a bit like Australia, family moved there in the Great Depression. Also nearly moved out there to teach, but my dad became ill.
Colombia, Mexico, Chile, Brazil.
America: Especially-Texas, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, New York (as I want to go to Fort William Henry). Oh yeah and all the Places the City of New Orleans train route goes through. Basically Chicago to New Orleans…aka on a train. (Just love that song)
That will do for now.
What are your strategies for SEO?
I thought long and hard about this then had to Google what SEO means….oh the Irony!
Well to put it simply…I don’t. Or if I do, then it is accidental.
So as my class is definitely less than a month away I thought I had better get my finger out and start making examples of things.
This is the scrap card and bog roll version of a building… It is, for want of a better word, it’s infancy.
This is the base layer of corrugated card, smeared in thin PVA and had toilet roll stippled on it
When dry I will do beams, floors etc
Lots of colours on show this evening.
Tell us about your morning routine.
Best Person to describe my Morning Routine is the late, absolutely Great Dolly Parton!
Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life…
