Just a Minute in May
First rose bloom

Another month that has flown by :)
Reading: I managed to finish 3 books this month same amount as last month but I would really like to read a few more. Gone are the days its seems where I have time to read a book a day lol
Labyrinth by Kate Mosse
The Stake by Richard Laymon
Casino Royale by Ian Fleming
I am reading Sepulchre by Kate Mosse at the moment. Only a few chapters in but so far so good :)
Art: So the plans this month was to participate in Everyday in May by drawing one ACEO a day. Sort of worked. Missed a few days but on the whole managed pretty well. Didn't manage to get one done today as we are busy moving things around in the living room (we have a lot of stuff....) I started on another Eagle drawing but haven't managed to get a lot done on it :/
Music: Great Big Sea still. I need new music but nothing that has come out recently has made me want to go and buy it
School: Got into the portfolio course at the college :) Time will tell if I learn anything but I should get a lot of drawing done. At the end I am either going to be completely sick of art and think that I should have done the animal course, never want to draw again :p, or use what I draw to try to get into Uni.
Health: Much better then last month. The ear problems became worse but went to the docs yesterday and now I've been told the problems are due to a build up of wax. Put some almond oil drops in your ear and if its still not cleared up come back in 2 weeks and we will have to syringe your ear o.0 ugh Stopped the steroids because my neurologist said I should not have been given another dose which is the reason more then likely I ended up looking like a fat puffed up version of Popeye :p Gave myself a mild concussion hitting the window pane :/ Thankfully that has gotten better quickly and only have a mild headache now :) On the plus side I lost 5 pounds :p Have only really been trying for 2 weeks so I don't think that is too bad.
Gardening: I was wrong about the tomatoes. We have dozens again :p The onions are doing really well, the peas that haven't been eaten by the birds seem to be growing tall, and the strawberry plant while it hasn't flowered, has grown probably more then 3 inches the last few days due to the rain. No signs of any triffids yet :p
I know there is more that happened in May but can't remember lol oh I took photos all day last Friday of my day. Still need to get them shrunk and in order but hopefully I get that done this weekend.
More Just a Minute blogs here :)
Congrats on a good month - and on the course!
ReplyDeleteWow, I get to be first in comments. Your everyday in may was a great success. I can't believe you got so much done. Glad your health is okay, kinda had me worried, seemed like a lot of trouble at once. Happy gardening.
ReplyDeletewell I sure hope June is even better....and yes congrats on the course.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a busy month of May.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read for a while now. The last books I read I liked the characters so much that I couldn't associate with any new ones.
Hope you have a great month of June :)
Oh you reminded me! I've been meaning to check out Kate Mosse .. I have a £40 Waterstones voucher and I might just use it on her books! I want to get all of Anne Rice books too... I think £40 is enough to get all from both authors!
ReplyDeleteBIG congrats on getting into your course! I just bought my first ACEO ever at the weekend - I think I'm going to become an addict so watch out, hehe! :D
ReplyDeletethanks rose :D
ReplyDeleteingrid- it did seem like everything bad health wise happened at once :/ the may project had a few small hiccups but on the whole I would agree that it was a success :) Too hot to garden today, but the plants are loving the heat.
Sandy- thanks :D
Michelle- What was the book called?
nuvonova-I do recommend her books :D they can be a little slow paced but on the whole they are well written. I haven't read any Anne Rice for years, enjoyed the early stuff she wrote but after awhile it all read the same.
alison- thank you :D lol they are very addicting to collect :D and so easy to show people when they are kept in card books
My first rose looks exactly like yours:)
ReplyDeleteWell done Jen on the Everyday in May... not an easy task. But definitely worth doing to push yourself on the days you just don't 'feel' the creative mojo.
ReplyDeleteLove the progress on the eagle!
Jennifer- there are really pretty purple ones on the hedge now :)
ReplyDeleteadmin.it- thank you :D it was really helpful for the days I didn't want to do anything. I felt like I really had to draw something to prove I could get as much done this month :)
