turns out i'm pretty hopeless at 365 projects!
but my boyfriend says he still loves me anyway.
(to be fair i have been taking a picture each day, they were just totally uninspiring so i didn't upload.)
week 29/52
i might have accidentally gotten a week behind on this project, oops. my garden has grown heaps since it was attacked by the gardeners so i got some ideas flowing. this was more of an experiment than anything but it's better than nothing. thank you for everything <3
This is not a recent photo. However it shows me taking notes - something I do compulsively.
When asked what do you do in your "spare" time (ha ha ha) - or - What are your hobbies? One of my first answers has been "Writing!"
I don't claim to be a great writer. But the contemplation and act of writing does bring me joy. I've volumes to prove it.
In fact, if you were to ask "What makes you happy?" One answer for sure would be "A good supply of smooth blank paper, a pen I love, and four hours of guaranteed uninterrupted time." Heaven!
Some friends and followers are creative and accomplished writers. You can tell who they are because their comments are unique and meaningful.
Though all comments are appreciated - some are timeless treasures. Perhaps they will make an interesting book project.
Some comments are poetry, some are advice, some are unique points of view or twists on the obvious, and some are puns that make me laugh even thinking about them.
Some of you have sent me your personal writing privately to enjoy - what a treat!
Thank you all.
Though no promise of quality can be made, I'll do my best to respond in kind.
Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen's monumental sculpture Bottle of Notes soars nearly thirty-five feet and is the first public sculpture in the United Kingdom by these two internationally renowned artists.
Bottle of Notes is inspired by the history of Captain Cook, born in Middlesbrough featuring words from his logs as well as poetry built from tempered-steel echoing Middlesbrough's industrial heritage and continuing the legacy of the town's Ironmasters.

Photo take by me, with my Nikon. I uploaded it to my NOTE 9 and did and little airbrush coloring in Penup
Firstly I apologize for the quality of this shot - it was taken a long time ago, not by me, and before I was even thinking about getting back into photography. This is a restoration of an Ottoman house (circa 1890) that my husband and I did about 10 years ago and from which we are moving tomorrow. It is bittersweet to be leaving this place. We love the village of Istanbul in which it is located, we have great neighbors, but we are tired of stairs and living in cramped quarters. And although this looks large, it is very skinny back to front, so there is not much space on each floor. We put our hearts and souls into this place - great wood work inside and lovely stained glass done by a Turkish artist friend of ours (Zeki Fındıkoğlu). However, it's time to move on, to have single floor living, more space, and a dedicated parking spot not on a hill!
There is a before photo and a view from the balcony in comments.
I'm sorry I wasn't around either. It would have been great to see them. They got to my store just after I had left and they came by my house when I was at the grocery. It would been great to see them as it's been a couple weeks now.
I'm actually believing that no one has ever even accidentally hit that in the past 50 years. Not even one of the Kennedys! Maybe Teddy Roosevelt was the last to knock into it.
