Good Day (15)

How are you Cathy!! I've been painting a bit. Don't have a lot of time lately though! I really want to start with ink and watercolors!! I'll show you as soon I can!

Good evening everyone.

Very happy indeed to know that Anna is so much better Ron.A from me to her.I hope little Ollie is better too.

Hi Ruth,Cathyml,Krissy,Stephanie,Sue and all.

Stephanie I hope you get settled down soon.You must be very tired.I have changed houses 12 - 13 times since childhood as my Dad was also in a transferable job.More than half these changes have been after I started woking and got married.In a huge country like India this can be very disruptive.However I enjoy the excitement of settling down in a new place too. In fact things have come to such a pass now that I get bored in the same place after 3 --4 years!

Nice to know you are enjoying painting Krissy.

Good morning everyone....Urmi..there's some good things about moving all the time, it makes you very organized..you tend to keep less non-essentials also. We moved 5 times the first 10 years my hubby and I were married. I like decorating, its an challege to me, so that was alright with me to tackle that part of moving. Each house I bring the good things with me .....if I possibly can.

Good Morning everyone!Today and tomorrow are holidays here so having a relaxed morning.Actually tomorrow is Bengali New Year (I belong to the state of West Bengal which means I am a Bengali ).Looking forward to celebrating it at my parent's place and sampling some of Mom's great cooking.

Shirley, you are absolutely right.There are very many positive points to moving house frequently.Although it is tiring it can be exciting too.Also I get an opportunity to get rid of a lot of useless stuff when we move.In India you get to pick up (at least try) a new language,sample the local food ,see a lot of beautiful places and experience a completely different culture.

I am a hoarder, on top of which my studio generates masses of stuff, and stock and bits and pieces, making moving is an absolute nightmare.  I really should treat the house and studio as 2 separate things and move them separately.  Last time I moved it all together and tried to continue with the classes without a break.  That was a mistake!  Left me exhausted for months.  I do not look forward to another move at all.

Enjoy your break Urmi - I am quite sure you deserve it.  I do hope that Anna & Ollie are almost back to health.  I wish all on POE good health and happiness.

Have a wonderful day
