Re: Best Friends Club

Brilliant @Glisten couldn't have said it better myself. 

I feel exactly like that too. 

If I knew you we could be amazed by your artwork and you could push me lightly on the shoulder about getting my painting finished ........

Let's do it here.

Have you done any more sculptures or pieces of art ?

 

I haven't but almost there ....

Re: Best Friends Club

Sorry @AuntGlow I didn’t answer your question.

How do I maintain focus?

I maintain focus by using a cue. My cue is “Driver’s call”.

The action is; Don’t think. Do.

It feels like muscle memory.

Flow state.

Re: Best Friends Club

@PeppyPatti  Peps, I got a new Makita cordless belt sander.

I’m currently dressing the timber I cut. So that you can’t see the saw marks on the wood.

Then I’ll seal the wood and glue it up.

I need to get some Light Oak stain oil tomorrow. For a different project.

Re: Best Friends Club

@Glisten I was a voracious reader and still am. I love books, the texture and smell especially. A now close friend of mine and I bonded over our mutual love of sniffing books!!

 

Until I was about 11 we didn't have a TV and when we got one it was a second hand black & white.

Mum used to get the dictionary out, pick a word and then ask my bro and I what it meant. It was a lot of fun, especially when my very witty brother would come up with zany answers. The 3 of us excelled at English and I am forever grateful that we didn't have TV until I was so passionate about books that when we did get a TV I rarely watched it.

 

How about you? I would imagine you'd be a fan of reading but given your ADD/ADHD (hope I got that right) does it make it difficult to concentrate?

Re: Best Friends Club

@Glisten is that Gingers you were referring to?

 

 

Re: Best Friends Club

@PeppyPatti how are you feeling sweetheart? You were sick yesterday if I'm not confusing you with someone else...!

Re: Best Friends Club

Gawd @ENKELI I am sick 

 

Thankyou precious lady. ATM I'm in bed feeling sorry for myself ....

The usual. 

 

Love you for thinking of me. 

@Oaktree @Glisten @AuntGlow @Dreamy @TAB 

Thinking of @Glisten and her new sandi ng belt.

Re: Best Friends Club

ugh  re book-sniffing @ENKELI  think we got tv when I was 11 or 12. could only watch an hour a day and no chance after father got home. whole family would sit in silence in lounge rm.kero heater on.Mum knitting, or not. the rest reading crap. I used to go into kitchen and listen to radio. That was allowed so long as I did not have light on lolo..

Re: Best Friends Club

So does the makita cordless belt sander have a special place in the kitchen ? 

Our budgies are eating clover. We replace it every day ---- but personally ---- they are not too fussed with their eating habits. 

 

Still in shock about this sofa my mother gifted Us. She told me my youngest brother doesn't like the sofa bed in it.

Re: Best Friends Club

@ENKELI  ADD & dyslexic BUT the bigger words the better. When other kids were reading D!ck & Jane. I was reading  The Life of Greece by Will Durant.

 

@ENKELI my Retiisi, it’s time for me to come out. I am a Book 📖 Sniffer.

 

My granddaughter said, referring to herself. “These books 📚 are my soul.”

I designed the Reading 📖 Nook in her bedroom.
