sorry folks, i’ve been mia. lately, i am having a little of social stress (on top of the work travels). i don’t want to give too many details though because i don’t want to jinx things (read between the lines here). let’s just say i am positively socially stressed, lol.

i joined a photo course. the purpose is basically to meet every two weeks and present a project or ideas to a project that we agreed on at the last meeting. because i am more of a snapshot and less of a “ok, i know exactly what i want to accomplish” person, this is difficult for me.

our theme is “light and shadow”. doesn’t necessarily have to be taken literally but this is all i was able to come up with so far. ok, no pressure, i still have time to work on the project…any good/bad association i had was not manageable for me to be put into a picture. oh well…

next week the university sports courses start again. i’m doing irish advanced and, to try something new, kung fu. yeah, don’t laugh. i wanted to meet new folks and i figured that because this is so different from what i usually do it’s a good way to meet people with other backgrounds.

i will certainly keep you posted on THAT! me and kung fu…

oh, and i know you’ve all been anxious to hear news on my plants. i don’t want to keep you waiting any longer. ginko survived winter really well. the first leaves are sprouting again and i’m not too worried. the blackberries and the strawberries have not yet done anything to make me believe they are live plants. ok, they’re not falling apart either so there must be some life left in them. let’s see if their survival instinct kicks in.

enjoy your weekend,
