Who am I?
- I had such a great time learning about cyanotypes with the Holdfast Limestone Coast Art Project on Saturday. This is the second of their workshops I’ve attended and both have been so soul-nourishing, as-well as full of new skills and knowledge about both art things and local algae! 💛Happy World Theatre Day. 💛Happy World Day of Theatre for Children and Young People!Although I’m perfectly capable of changing a tyre, I really appreciate Tom the truckie and the unnamed guy in a ute who both stopped to check I was okay and changed the flat for me. I was 40kms out of Pinnaroo, with no service and it was very dark. My car has a space saver spare which you’re only meant to go 80k/h on, so I also really appreciate Tom sticking behind me as I crawled to Pinnaroo to make sure I got to the servo safely (my spare was a bit deflated when we put it on!).
