Comfort zones are so nice and cosy. Tonight I’m trying hard to venture out of mine with some work that feels new and a little intimidating although also very exciting. I’m taking over this job from my predecessor and it feels like I have some big boots to fill. I’m 100% sure I can do …
19:35. I’ve been up since around 8 am. I started the day with yoga, breakfast and catching up on some work at home then spent the afternoon doing Venice Biennale work till this evening. My brain is still buzzing with things that need doing. The Permaculture foundation website, the article for the Malta Water Association, …
It’s been a long day. 6:00 am wake up. A quick retrieval of a heavy old door with a mirror from a skip outside the house and a slow journey carrying that back home. About an hour to brush my hair (no joke, while watching videos), breakfast, an ATM that pretended to give me money …
How long can I retain that holiday serenity for? Here’s hoping for forever. I’ve been back home for less than 24 hours and the edges of busy can be seen waiting at the sidelines, sneakily attempting to creep in. I woke up at around 10:30 am, later than usual, probably due to the change in …
Officially back home after four days in Sicily. Refreshed, re-energised, surprisingly empty, which I’m seeing as a very good thing. I spent four days doing very little, completely without any kind of agenda or wish list to cross off. Four days of eating local food, staying in one small area, generally going with the flow …
On holiday day two. Which also happens to be my birthday. There are not many things I can find fault with today. Just-after-midnight birthday love, a late morning, a sunny breakfast of Sicilian fruits and nuts, making it to the shops just in time to get food, a hike up a small part of Etna …
Officially on holiday. I’ve taken a few much needed days to do absolutely nothing (except write very little about doing absolutely nothing). It felt so, so good today to just lie in the sun, to eat a lot of Sicilian food, to walk, to laugh, to completely forget to stress about what I have not …
The day before I go on holiday and a day to close off stuff so I can leave it be for a few days. Project finalisation day. Cleaning up the house day (finally). Having friends for dinner day. My first two Biennale Facebook posts. Packing a bag ridiculously late. Not sleeping at all on account of …
It’s close to midnight and I still have far too much energy running through me. Some days I just can’t get myself motivated to work and others I just do things in an instant without any sign of hesitation. Today is one of those days. My last day at Corinthia for this week, I powered …
