The new header image above is of my current beach in Boscombe, Bournemouth. Been here a week now and now have one more week until we move to our new place early next Monday morning! It has been an interesting time, these is nothing like being in limbo to slowly drive you stir crazy. In addition to no job, no car and no decent weather, I have also managed to get a sore throat and am feeling a bit average at the moment, so I am extremely keen to move and be able to get sorted. Living amongst boxes and rubble does get a little testing. On the plus side, between some very average weather, I did managed 2 shoots last week and about 3 morning walks along the beach, to Bournemouth. This week, after a day off today to rest, I am going to try walking the opposite way, which is heading towards our new place. We also have the opportunity to have a bit of a look at our place tomorrow night with the agent, so we can start planning where we are going to put furniture etc – it will be great to see it again .
Over the weekend, ie yesterday, we headed for a short drive down to Hengistbury Head – its really close to where we will be and has some lovely walking, coast, rainforest and marshes, a real variety of ‘ecosystems’ as my friend described it. It will be great to have that nearby. Also found a few spots to try some evening shooting as well. Most of this week I have been spending at internet cafes or coffee shops with internet at some point in the day. I have costa susseed…gets busy around 9am, so have to get there by then to get the seat with the power and then can use the unlimited internet and people watch from the window. I am a bit sick of coffee (never thought I would say that)..so having something different this morning, a vanilla latte, just to toss things up.
So, anyway, mood is generally struggling at the moment, but managing to hang in there as I know there is exciting things on the horizon. No luck with the job hunting as yet, plenty more tries and fails to be had there I feel…but I have decided to do something exciting next year to help on that front..a self development thing if you like, so stay tuned for that one!
Susan + interrupted plans + limited internet access + sore throat = hell (rather than limbo) I think! I suggest chilling out with a couple of trashy novels from the op shop to tide you over! Won’t be long now before it’s full steam ahead, meanwhile relaaaaxxxx…. (:-)
