thoughts

I like lists. I crave the clarity.

I like when others post their lists for us to admire or creatively drool over.

I like when I have a glimpse of other womens lives and what their week will hold.

I was going to post about my huge list of things to do but that is irrelevent as to what has come to pass today.

I have memories going through my head of pictures snapped at the beach just before a thunderstorm

 on the weekend while im cleaning out the shed with the mr.

One of our boys is moving into his very own place soon and is taking our excess furniture from the shed

 which will be wonderful and we feel lighter for it. .

I hope to be sewing late into the night while waiting for MrTL to arrive home from work.

Its his last week of night shift for a few months and we're being a little bit hopeful that it may be his last ever week of night shift.

 Bring on that rock-walling business weve both been dreaming of. Or maybe ill just buy me a quarry and be done with it. He gets to handle the dynamite and ill wait for the dust to settle.  A bit like our life now.

Any thoughts on why a woman would be obsessed by rocks are welcome in the comments.

Craving solidity? A love of a puzzle? Simply likes rocks?

reference of obsession

I saw this somewhere a few months back and saved it. I dont remember where for now. If its familiar to you I wont hesitate to give credit as I liked it and thats the reason im posting it here.

However, if I wrote this quote it may not read this simple. I live with an artist and things about us remain complex,

in an artistic way of course. jokes*

He paints but talks of sculpting....

 cycles to work but dreams of travelling.....

cooks while thinking of carving.....

He and I 'work'. I couldnt ask for a better friend even when I need to ask for him to just be my friend. 

Lately he listens.

Lately he has been someone new im discovering.

Lately, since our 25th anniversary, we are in a place ive never been.

I never knew existed.

A place ive never dreamed of.

 A place that is real.

P.S.  Ill probably do the tutorial update on friday if youve come looking for it.
