So much to say and do.. The last time I wrote I mentioned the 3 Peaks challenge. That is fast approaching and I am trying to fit in 3 or 4 training sessions a week around the usual rabble! How ever, I am back at work next Monday so its about to get real! Maternity leave is a strange beast. It starts of dramatically, however the baby comes into the world, it is guaranteed to be a whirl wind of emotions, then it pretty much all happens again when you go back to work. Nothing has changed, but everything has changed! On the surface its fairly similar to when you left, apart from the desk thief in the office! As time passes, you realise that ‘systems’ have changed, there are new people, and your job, just isn’t the same. How do you cope? Who can help? I have been here before so why do I feel the anxiety again! That, is why I need challenges, deadlines and missions! It would be easy if I went to work, came home, cleaned up and went back again. But, we only have one life. The cabin is our creative hub and the fitness deadline is getting me out and about to engage with the world instead of letting the time pass me by. Also we have our small people watching and learning from us, who better to learn from than the role models bringing you up that are making the most of their lives. The exhibition is down and the training is happening. Bring it on. This week the Arts Lab session gave food for thought. Mapping life around you. Physical, emotional, traditionally or alternatively. Something I have looked into with students in the past but to do myself is another development in my creative world. Freely wondering the grounds of the UEA I photographed, noted and drew the paths of people and objects I passed. What I ended up with I am not struck down by, but it a process. A method of opening your eyes to things around you and forcing you to find a way of recording appropriately. I hope to venture into something like this with the students on my return. 3 more weeks of Art Labs and gym training before the end of term and the 3 peaks challenge hits me, my poor colleagues… hopefully I won’t break. Oh and the baby is almost a toddler. As if that has been a year! Just a shame mum missed this one. ❤

Just ??? Arts lab this evening was about looking and seeing. I don’t do enough. There are too many things to do in your every day. Routine, chores, tasks. Only when you go on holiday does it slow down a bit. This is what I saw when I slowed down tonight.
