editing

Sitting in the library at the moment, multi tasking, editing with a group our piece about the curse, and at the same time checking my ebay stuff, and blogging! Successful day so far, a piece of work written, and the group editing is going very well. We are all building up our negotiating and writing skills, this is very useful. We also have some wonderful drawings by Tom who as well as being a superb musician can also draw and write, I could feel envious.
After this, I think I deserve a cup of tea, and my housemate and I are planning some baking and soup making. With this, I am beginning to feel more of a home where I'm living.
I was talking to someone last night about feeling the need for challenges in our lives, and that seems right. I thin my last challenge probably was leaving a job two years ago that I was desperately unhappy and bullied in, and managing to fund my life for three months independently, tutoring and selling books second hand on the Internet. It was hard, but brought amazing freedom: I could wake up in a morning and decide where I would travel to that day, to search for treasure in car boot sales and charity shops. I then joined the dependent working life working life again for two years, before arriving in Falmouth, jobless but determined. My sights are on that same kind of freedom, working myself using my own resources. I think it's possible, I just have to work very hard.
Thinking back to yesterday, there was something I will always remember, walking along the beach at Harlyn Bay, butter yellow sand underneath and the sea turquoise beyond. On a November day, it was so beautiful. I was so glad to be here.
