Real pity that it isn't actually him, but it made me smile nonetheless. hehe.

Yesterday I found a glorious mock orange shrub covered with bumble bees. I tried to take some pictures with my vintage macro lens.

At first they were a bit wary of me, but after a while they seemed to accept me as part of the decor.

Watching them was wonderful, like entering a whole new world.
It seemed to really calm me down too.

I live and work in the city and I get to see a lot of buildings and cars, but not a lot of nature. So finding these little bits of green in the middle of all that is always special to me.

I quit my job yesterday! It made me sick because of bad management, even a bit of bullying from my boss, waited far too long. I don't have a plan b yet, but had to get out of there in order to not break down completely. Go me. Oh yeah, and was in the audience for a live chat with John Parish yesterday. Nice bloke, very inspiring. That's it

Good for you, Cille!
It takes courage to do that.
Your sanity is worth more than any job.

Well, bank account says to find something else soon, but I can get unemployment ensurance if that doesn't work out right away - i was home sick with stress symptoms for a month last summer, and things haven't improved much since then, despite me trying to change things, so it feels like a big relief to be out of there in a month

My big dream is actually, well apart from playing music full-time, to work in a nice little local cafe down the street that sells quality coffee and vinyl albums. I am sick of office work and corporate BS, literally sick...

hehe... it´s not a male strip dancer, cille (i could have got one in argentina, hehe). it´s a vinyl, but it got lost and then it took quite a while to be delivered again. my friend supposed to get it because i was in buenos aires, but it was waiting for me

best luck with the job

I promised myself once that I would never do another exam. ( I used to have terrible fear of failure) Today I broke that promise and took a test without any panic.
(I think I did quite well.)

The other night I dreamt that Damien got a baby elephant, one of those cute furry ones. But then he had to resell it cause he figured it was too big to have as a pet anyway, and he was afraid it would lay on him by accident.
