I know I am supposed to be working but ...



When I was in Texas recently my gorgeous girlfriend Julie Gray
gave me a little goodie bag with all sorts of bits and bobs in it.
Amongst the little bitsy arty presents was this tiny rubber stamp alphabet.  

So I opened it!



Here it is! Each one of these is approximately 5mm square.



I took a look down through the cracks!




Then I cut it up!




I took a print. That was fun. AG(E)MSY get it? My sister Brig will.




I cut it up some more, whipped out some decorated off-cuts and
had some fun with my Instagram username.


This was a lot of fun!!!!




And there is this too!


Ah, back to work!

The journey begins ...

To say I am fortunate is an understatement. Time and time again I find myself in the most wonderful of situations that allow me to experience extraordinary things.  What I love most is I am always ... always learning something new. Today for example I saw my first driver less car.  Never!!!! I could barely believe it.  Some one reading this in fifty to one hundred years time may chuckle and say "cars had drivers?" .  I am in Pittsburgh after all. I guess you could say today is day two of this particular journey. Day one was spent on a series of aircraft to get me from Tasmania to Pittsburgh USA.

I am getting to know Dallas/Fort Worth very well and would highly recommend it.  For me it is a suitable hub for flying in from Australia and connects me to pretty well anywher...

Making time my friend ... and poly myalgia rheumatica

Image
  The past fifteen months has taken its toll on me as there has been a lot of pressure and stress. Self-inflicted of course, as that is the way of things with me. Subsequently I have been diagnosed with (nothing sinister) poly myalgia rheumatica which has seen me at a low painful ebb. Coupled with very high blood pressure which is not a good mix, we are now just getting that under control. As my lovely doctor says "Gemma, you do not want to have a stroke" .  To address the PMR issue I have just started a steroidal pain management treatment and the prognosis is very good. I have known for some six months or so that something was not sitting quite right with my health so it was only about a month ago that the body responded with a " stop now ". It’s just a bit of a pain really but I do wish to live a long a fruitful life. Who doesn't, right!? Some of you know I have taken steps to slow the rhythm of my everyday life to manageable and more enjoyable levels. While t...
