I have started a printmaking course, which is great fun. I’m finding it challenging but relaxing and inspiring which is what I wanted – so yay! glad I did it!

How I did it: I plucked up the courage to book it at the local salon and that was it. I did tell them it was my first time so they were quite understanding, but it took all of 10 minutes and it was done. Read how I did it…
I’ve joined the work netball team which involves a match after work one day and training at lunchtime another. It means (unless I have work commitments) I can’t make any excuses to not exercise.
It helps having other people around to make you do it!
I think I’m going to learn to draw. Maybe a bit predictable and boring but it was always something I enjoyed when I was younger and was probably not that bad at it if I put some effort in.
Inspiration really came when I popped to Tate Modern one lunchtime – so that was, for once, a lunchtime put to good use!
