I painted an old bamboo wind chime

Do you like wind chimes? I love them! I’ve had this old bamboo wind chime that I’ve been hanging on to and put on my ‘to do’ list since goodness knows when. So I am happy that I finally got around to doing it, and super happy with the result!

I designed patterns inspired by letters of the Greek alphabet and cured my creative block

Happily I completed my personal project to design patterns based on the capital Greek letters!

My love of the Greek language

As a child I loved learning other languages. But whilst I was brought up bilingual I never actually had a single proper lesson or any kind of instruction in Greek whatsoever.

As I write this I am grateful for friends of a kindred spirit like Leigh, especially at a time of extended isolation and where friends I thought were friends have all but slipped away.
