Wow! You should be able to survive the apocalypse by having the cleanest bottom.

Hi Bleujay, thanks for the lovely comment. I always found working with teenages difficult but I have fun trying to crack the code. Be that, showing them that work and fun are compatible, and that even

My veg garden did a bit better this year. I had lots of nice salads so I think I am getting a bit better at orchestrating the plants. Next year will be better with more beds. The pond will have a few fish

Keeping on top of the garden is also something I am challenged with. So many plans and it a perfect time here to do it with the long evenings. Unfortunately, the energy levels are not what they used to

It can be quite dangerous and I am always scared of other people's chainsaws. There have been accidents but I have been lucky to still have all my fingers. Touch wood. This was a fun project where I felt

Thanks very much. I was happy with the lighting too. Sometimes the lighting guys want to put crazy colours, which can make the sculptures look very kitsch. Less really is sometimes more.

Thanks Deirdy. It's in the making that I enjoy sculpture. The finished product is just the outcome and because I got it out of my system, I don't really feel an attachment to it anymore. It actually a

I have also stopped voting in the selections. They are all a load of idiots and if they aren't going in they become one as they soon tow the party line. I think big change will happen all over the world

Yes, I was wearing a hard hat and hazmat suit. Can't be too careful.

It's very popular in offices in Europe and Asia, as far as I know. Unfortunately, most of the stuff I do is logos and corporate stuff but I always try to sneak in some creative stuff to keep it interesting

I'm sure you don't hang around the corporate office scene in Ireland so I can understand you missing it. It has really taken off as a must-have if you want to be hip and cool. I'll give you a good price

It's very trendy at the moment and it is nice for logos etc. I'm sure it won't last and then I will be on to learning the next thing.

They call it mummified moss, it was alive but not anymore and it comes in a rainbow of colours and types, which is good for creative possibilities. It has become very popular as it looks like plant life

I was actually quite lucky it didn't hurt me badly. It seems it shot off in the other direction and not into my face. I still have fond memories of what we made together. I seems that I am doing more moss

Welcome back and happy birthday. I would really love to visit your country someday and always enjoy your beautiful pictures.

It really is like I am a child care worker. Parents deposit their kids and then go off and enjoy the festival. Over the years, I see the same children again and again and they really take ownership of

Congrats on the 200K. I'm happy that I just crossed 20K. I think that's an outboard motor from a boat.

I still try to do my part for the planet, but I will admit that the fact that I don't know whether the war madness will have me all just fighting for survival has me concerned. Will it lead me to giving

Thanks, Deirdy, I'm really trying to get back into posting. We are doing well, although time is not on my side these days, especially as I prepare my son and I for the apocalypse. Need to start planting

Thank you.
