Revival.

Well today was much better than yesterday. I started off feeling sad but pulled myself together and managed to finish some work I had pretty early on in the day, and took my dog for two lovely walks. I also bumped into a colleague from my old job so we had a chat in the park while Sherlock had a good run around and behaved impeccably.

And then came the highlight of my day. For the first time in many years I went into an art shop with the intent of buying something (rather than walking in, looking around and wishing I could have the time/energy/inspiration to start being artistic again).

And I bought something. In fact, I bought a lot. I'm now significantly lighter in pocket... but I'm absolutely sure it'll be worth it. So tonight I will put paintbrush to oil paint to canvas, for the first time in over a decade.

(But first, of course, I had to blip my beautiful new set of oil paints :) )
