After the events of this week, I’m of the opinion that life is too short. So make the most of it, be grateful for what you have and hope that’s enough to make you happy.

Progress is being made … slowly but surely.

Came home from my job interview today to find this haul of diamond paintings delivered today. 4 in total but there was one I picked up from the letterbox later in the day.

the best Halloween episode ever.

Yeah, he was such a down to earth guy. At TAFE doing a course to get into social work, starting to get back into playing football for a local team. So much ahead of him, yet gone way too soon.

Today I'm still feeling numb. We got some horrific news yesterday - my cousin's boyfriend passed away in a car accident. He was 19. We don't know any more details than that and to be honest I'm not sure I want to know. Everyone here is still in shock and denial about it all.

I think it'll be a day of painting and gaming.

Oh definitely! Are you down there permanently now?

you'll find that only occurs with the city people. The people that live out in the sticks are much more friendly. Before my uncle moved up here a couple of years ago he used to live in a sheep's station down there. Doesn't get more in the sticks than that!

hellooooo! long time no see mate!! <3 what’s been happening?

oh definitely. Job searching and studying have taken precedence over the last few days. I feel like I need a break. Can’t wait to get stuck in to this painting.
