On Monday everything changed. Was it for the best or not?

With that I can say I disagree. I don’t think it was the right thing to do. Everyone I’ve spoken to about it has agreed and said they will be keeping their masks.

Being honest I am expecting a change to come in the next few weeks. I think there will either be another lock down or the rules about masks will be reimposed. I’m hoping more for the mask thing.

Lots of places want to keep people safe by saying they want you to carry on wearing masks. The main problem is that places aren’t able to enforce it. They can ask you to wear a mask but that’s about as far as it goes. They can’t make you wear one. That is the problem with it being passed down to places and people.

So tangles wise I’ve done two this week:

I missed the tile swap video on Monday afternoon because I completely forgot about it. I started watching the video and saw the tangle we had to include so straight away I started putting some ideas down on paper with the video playing away to itself. The problem was that every idea I put down I looked back up at the screen and there it was. Every idea I had she drew. So I have to pull my finger out and get on with it and get that tile in the post on its way to Sandra.

I’ve done some cards this week but the only one I can put a picture up of is a retirement card I made for Katie to give someone at work.

It was mums 70th Birthday on Friday. She has hit the big 70. We went out for afternoon tea. Mum, Dad, Katie, Adam, Harvey, Me, Mason and some of mums friends. It was a really nice afternoon.

I can now share the cards I made for her birthday though:

I do have to make a few more cards for mum to give out before she goes away so that’s another 2 or 3 that I’ve got to get done.

I have made a book this weekend with the help of my Mega Roll of double sided tape.

That is the tape. The larger red squares on the board are inches. The tape is 6inches wide and 50 meters long. So lots of double sided sticking can be done.

Here are some pictures of the book I made:

The last one is a little pad I made from the remains of the paper I used for the larger pages. I hand sewed the little pad together. My own attempt at a bit of book binding. There is nothing in the book at the moment. I have no idea what to put in it but I’ll find something.

Last week I was given a few things that belonged to Bob that I can use with the development group. There are Alcott of things in it. Runes and cards and there was even a crystal ball with a stand. Also there was a Ouija board, I know it’s only a tool but I’ve had to hide it at home then prying eyes and hands don’t find it and start playing with it. So it is in a safe and secure place. I know it’s only a tool and basically some bits of wood but I can’t help and think of all the bad things about them that have come from Hollywood. I know it’s all rubbish but that’s the way my mind works.

Also with all the bits that came was a Da Vince toy/puzzle. I built it this afternoon. It looks cool and it moves, there is a little motor in it that’s powered by a little solar panel. Here is a picture of it:

The black bit at the front is the solar panel.

This week I’ve done a bit more colouring with my Ink Lily alcohol markers. I started with the next lesson:

I’m happier with the smaller one of the two but practice makes perfect and practice I will.

It’s Bob’s funeral this week. Mum and dad are coming with me and mum will be able to sort me out if need be.

It’s a gong bath on Wednesday evening. A great way to spend some time focusing on me.

The rules might have changed but the virus hasn’t gone away. Stay safe out there and please keep wearing your mask/face covering.

Love and light
