Hello everybody I am trying to insert a food pic without saving it .. no luck yet ..
@WombatBoots @Crazy_Bug_Lady @PeppiPatty @Jacques
@Mazaritamy son was amazed that adult colouring books are the big publishing trend now ... hmmm we must be having up to date conversations and doings
Sorry re court outcome @Former-Member it is important that we are mindful that being a school principal is not a guarantee that a person is good. What limitations are the court putting on you about speaking .. that does not sound right?
Last weekend my son's concert went well, I was a very proud mumma and he looked gorgeous in jacket and bow tie. He has another this Sunday.
Tomorrow we start reading for Rozencrantz and Guildentern are Dead .. we had fun practising lines
I am a bit addled as he is trying to take over my studio again .. and I become hairbrained and forget everything as I dont have a sense of my own space. Music is lovely but when it is going 24/7 I beome jittery .. I have got him to agree to stay down his end of house when it is after 11pm. He has my 100 year old upright grand at his end of the house .. but the grand is better for recording .. I feel so guilty claiming my own right to have own piano in my own house and I own the whole bloody lot (90%) of the house .. what is this that happens to women? Men dont go through that stuff do they?
I think he is beginning to realise that it is not worth it how hopeless I become so he is giving me space .. I just fragment and go ga ga .. forget things when I have to do messages and am no longer super whizz mum.
But no big dramas just managed ones .. that are supposed to be theatre .. so mostly all good.

No its not so much court keeping me 'quiet' yet but we're employed by the same department so i cant say anything that would cause 'disruption' to that department. i'm not feeling bitter... im just feeling... like i put myself through court and it was awful and i cant stop thinking about eveyrthing they said and it has meant next to nothing. its changed nothing. hes still... on top. i dont know how i feel gah! It will be ok. just need to move on as you said and work on being me 😄
@NikNik i just tried to post on another thread and it kept coming up with an error message saying that i had put in an email address and needed to fix the highlighted stuff but the only things highlighted were the names of members and even when itook them out i still couldnt post? ... now to see if this will!!

@Appleblossom: didn't know that about adult coloring books - 'up to date' and I don't even know it (mostly I just feel 'over the hill'). There is something soothing about playing with colored pencils. I can't draw but have even been free-styling some of my own pages to color in, mostly just shapes in a sketch book. Fills in some of my over-ample time and is calming, especially when agitated.

lol @Former-Member we used to be friends 😛 ....
yes I am joking, as a teenager (who knew evrything) my dad went for mactintosh (apple), I was wrapped with dos version (omgitstolongago.1)
Can I ask you a question though lj, are calmer now that it's out of the way, regardless of the outcome?
@everyone, I'm sure lots of you have heard of, if not done it many times, the 'briggs myers' personality test. i did this one today, you dont need to sign up to anything with emails etc etc you can just do it and it gives you a result.
my challenge to @NikNik, @Jacques and @Former-Member
http://www.my-personality-test.com/personality-type/
remember it is ONLY personality and NOT a clinical test
good luck ... I will divuldge my 4 letters after one of you do 😛

It was just on the tv a couple of hours ago .. @Mazarita
and made enough impression on son for him to talk about it. He did not know I had been doing mandalas online ..
@JacquesI had old piano rebuilt with new hammers last year so the sound is pretty good but not perfect .. I still like it .. its a small house but 2 ends of it each have a piano .. I tell students if they go to uni .. there are practise rooms all down the hall and we just have to concentrate on our own music ..
but it is about getting a workable space .. the 24/7 thing .. keeping irritations down .. which does not mean I cave in because he needs it .. it is no good for him or for me to be marshmallow .. trying to find a gentle fair line for both of us to work in, that he is vulnerable but strong enough to cope with some limits.
I am so impressed you finished your shed cleanout .. @Jacques
