On The Move

On The Move

Today is “Exit Day”.  I’m off from the Papamoa Burbs and heading back to my digs for a week.

flat white coffee

It’s been nice here … handy to Fashion Island, which I did visit a couple of times – handy to the motorway which meant easy access to work, the city, the Mount and anywhere else I fancied going.

What have I done here?  Written a bit more of my book and done some sketches.  Met the cool guys next door and spent a lovely evening on the wine with them.

And, apart from that and the odd outing, it’s been a fairly quiet 5 weeks, but then I didn’t expect much else.

I’ll leave you with the sketches:

Basket
Basket of Fruit – Self-explanatory
GirlInCafe
Girl in Cafe – done in 40 minutes
BackStage
Back Stage – An old quick sketch I’d done when I was in the theatre that needed a bit of work

Sweet, Sweet Music

Sweet, Sweet Music

Just a quick post today to say that Jazz Fest in Tauranga was great.

AND – to top it off …. weather was awesome!.

O.k., so only went on Saturday, but it was sunny. We sat in the shade, listened to great music and enjoyed the company…. what could be better? Well, if Black Spider Stomp had been there – but perhaps next year.

However, what music we did hear, it was great.

Awesome woman in gorgeous Steam Punk outfit … sorry for the poor quality of the photo, had to lighten it – looks better on my phone!

 

As a totally random aside:  Saw this adorable mushroom on a walk to beach the other day – after the rain.

Awesome Afternoon

Awesome Afternoon

What an awesome afternoon spent at the food fest put on by Envirohub at the Historic Village (Tauranga).

The weather could not have been more perfect.

My sweet friend, Marielle, who runs the Envirohub ship, asked if I’d lend a hand.  Not that I was that much help because I spent a great deal of time talking to lots of different peeps that I met. But I did sell a few raffle tickets, got some donations and even managed to encourage those fit enough to have a crack at the biking smoothie machine.

The day was about sustainable backyards with talks on growing, eating and composting food e.g. worm farming, edible weeds and clean eating (right up my alley). There was music too and the day ended with a great percussion group, (sorry, can’t remember the name of them but they were great fun).

I’ll let the rest of the photos do the talking for me ….
