Hi people,
first let me apologise for a lack of activity recently, life has a habit of getting in the way of art.
First work gets in the way, then family life, then just when I start to get a bit of spare time, bang! a major health scare. I went to the doctors because of a suspected chest infection which was giving me discomfort in my chest, he says no infection but worried about the pain so sent me to see the rapid access chest pain clinic. They didn't like the symptoms so I ended up having an angiogram, results of which are a 60-70% stenosis (blockage) in one of my coronary arteries, so I'm now on medication and if that doesn't work will have to have angioplasty or a stent.
So from being fit and healthy I now find myself limited in the amount of activity I can do. Not pleasant, I can tell you, and very frustrating.
So if I don't post anything for a while please understand, I'm still watching, although sometimes I might not comment much, so stay deviant.

Peace to all.
HJK

So I haven't been doing much on :devart: recently, and I'm sure that some of you are wondering how the old dragon is doing.

Well to start with I'm pretty settled into the new job, just still getting used to the shifts and teh idea that my weekend is now Sunday Monday instead of the usual Saturday Sunday, but at least I get two days off together.

I'm on holiday at present, just chilling at home while I help the future Mrs Dragon make the final preparations for our wedding on 18th August (yup, that's Saturday coming!)
Looking forward to the event, and wondering how I managed to get off so lightly last time around?

So apologies all round if I don't post much for a while, I'm still keeping tabs on all of you, but as you can imagine I am rather busy at present.

So ttfn and I'll be back as soon as I can find time, and I guess inspiration, whichever comes first! ;)

So, after nearly 13 months of unemployment I start a new job on Monday 21st May. This will be a strange experience after so long looking for work, but I'm looking forward to it. I'm running out of DIY projects and I've definitely run out of money, so that will be a nice change to be earning again.
Plans still afoot for the wedding in August so life is looking good again. :woohoo:

So holiday over, now it's back to the jobsearch routine.

I have absolutely loads of photos to go through, and there may even be one or two good enough to place on here, who knows, eh?

Time away wasn't wasted as I also managed to write another six thousand words for my book, getting closer to the end all the time ...

Well lots of catching up to do .. so I'll get busy, looking forward to getting things back on an even keel.

Holidaying

3 min read
So here I am down under, and let me tell you that Australia is NOT all heat and desert! We arrived in the middle of a cloudburst, and have been really cold most of the time so far. This part of New South Wales looks a lot like England (except for the Eucalyptus trees) and the climate is much the same as well! However it's spring here so getting warmer, whereas on our return I have no doubt that England will be cold!

I'm still keeping my finger on the pulse, so to speak, and the creative juices are still flowing both photographically and writing wise, so even though I'm on holiday I'm not slacking. Looking forward to another week and half before coming home, but also looking forward to getting back.

Stay safe, stay Deviant..... Peace and Love to all
