What is Going on??

Well, it is Tuesday morning and certainly time for a coffee break. Today is the day that I think I need to catch my breath after the past month.

It all came to a head four days ago with the serious preparation for a fundraiser I was involved in for the local playground. This time there was a fantastic team of volunteers, planning and organising the event, and each one of them worked so hard! None of this, where they say yes, yes, yes to everything and then leave one or two persons to pull it all together. It was the first time I was involved in anything like this, and I LOVED it. I truly did. One of the things I loved most, was putting the stage area into shape. Usually stages can be wasted space as it can be hard to know how to use them! But I got lucky and had a brain wave, and this is the finished result .....

Right well, I didn't get another photo of the other direction with the fireplace etc in!! ah well ... you get the idea tho! People loved sitting up there being able to view all that was going on in the hall while sipping on their drinks and nibbling beautifully made cakes! The Sale event was held on the Saturday and Sunday and yesterday was packing it all away. Today tho, my mind is still in fundraiser gear, thinking about how things could have been improved and handled differently! Will take notes for next time! (IF there is an next time of course!!) 

Being involved in that event has opened up another opportunity. An opportunity to move my working area into the community centre. A short walk nearby, access whenever I like (for all those hours we work into the night) BUT not in the house, so I don't get distracted by loads of washing and ironing, hoovering and anything else that I want to do that isn't work! I love the sound of this! I am hoping too that it would be an opportunity to get some local trade and also to have some outside interaction in the day. I think to try this out for a month and see if my productivity levels increase. If they do, it would definitely be worth it!!
