Day 126

Tai Chi cake

On weekends, I spend a lot of time and energy practising Tai Chi and try to coach other practitioners the things I picked up in Japan from my teachers. It was one lady's birthday this weekend and as she is a very special person (I think she is over 85, but not sure of her exact age) she is always happy and smiling and lightens the mood whenever she is around, I decided to make her this cake!

Edit: it turns out she turned 90! I hope I have half of her energy when I am that age. Apart from tai chi, she paints, plays guitar and makes all kinds of art!

Day 124

tools of the trade/daily survival

For the past few months this has been a regular sight for me. Camera for most eventualities, coffee and cake to keep me awake mid afternoon and something to keep my son Josh amused/fed/thirst quenched. I will be going back to regular work from Monday and will miss having so much freedom and fun with my son. I won't miss the 15+kg of baby and equipment that I carried around on my front and back, but will miss everything else. I will try my best to keep a camera handy wherever I am in future too and even if I can't manage daily posts, I hope to make a couple every week. This week was a bit erratic and I wanted to try film again after such a long stint of digital. Hope the negatives don't take too long to develop...
