Playing Catch-Up

Gill


*waves*




Hello campers! :D

I've been particularly un-fractal-ish lately (mostly because I think my fractal muse has buggered off on a VERY long holiday) and decidedly antisocial. The combination of grumpiness, brought on by lack of fractalness, and a short temper is not a good combination for venturing into the choppy waters of dA! ;)

Anyway, I'm desperately trying to catch up (you're a productive lot, aren't you?) and as blown away as I am by the fabulous fractals and photographs and other artwork I see in my watchlist I'm still thoroughly disillusioned with dA, so I can't see me changing my mind about my level of participation any time soon.

Anyway, here's a little cuteness as an antidote to the grump (taken on a recent visit to a local zoo).

You know.... you gotta be true to yourself Gill. And if the garbage going on around here is just more than any thinking person can deal with right now .... well I can certainly understand.

And by all means.... revel in your grumpiness !!! I told a nephew one time years ago that one of my goals in life was to be the aunt that whenever anybody said " C'mon kids, time to visit Auntie Lauren at the home " everybody would cry & yell & refuse to be dragged out of the room without bribes. I plan on being sarcastic & crochetedy til the day I die.

Btw.... my nephew looked at me in horror but he never had a sense of humor or a sense of irony.

So..... we miss you & hope life is treating you fair to middlin' anyway !!! :hug:

Argh I am grumpy too :(

Perhaps a long vaccation will cheer us up or a handsom secretary-boy who does all the typing.
Take care and hopefully you find some one to yell at who doesn't mind :D

lol! I want a secretary-boy now, especially if he'll do the washing-up as well ;)

Hoping to go away for 3 weeks in the autumn, if J and I can make our minds up about where to go: keep your fingers crossed!!

I keep my fingers crossed! I am curious where you will decide to go :D
GG showed me an add yesterday of an English teacher offering a combination of English lessons and walking excursions in Oban, Scotland or Prestatyn and Beddgelert in North Wales. Where would you go if you hadn't been to any of these places. I like walking as long as it isn't too steep.

Ooh goodness: I think you'd like either! I'd choose Beddgelert though, because it's in Snowdonia and that part of Wales is wonderful :D

I think we're going to go to Florida. Probably spend a week in Orlando (you're never too old to visit Disney, Universal Studios & Epcot ;)) and then hire a car for 2 weeks and see the Florida Keys and the Everglades.

Thank you for your quick reply :D
If you do go to Florida promise me to beware of the alligators :D

I haven't been on a vacation with gg ever except 3 days to Vienna some years ago. I am still undecided if I want to go to Wales or Scottland but perhaps I can make up my mind after talking it over again tomorrow. Somehow I am tempted but on the other hand I dread the idea of being stuck with 9 strangers for 14 days :D

Ugh, it's taken me such a long time to get to this, sorry! Have you made a decision?

I decided against the trip. Perhaps I find someone I know to join me next year ;D

Not much eating on one of those :hmm: (Sorry, it's lunch time!)

I recommend making the artworks anyway, fractal or not, and posting it to DeviantART only if you feel like it. The site is rarely deviant, and that's a good thing. It's also a long way from being the last word on art . . .
