Do you have any projects on the go?
I've been writing a creative fiction story for the last 5 years... Not really any progress on that. I write a bit and then stop again and don't return to it for ages.
I watched the classic Italian Job movie for the first time a few years ago and fell in love with those old Minis. The same thing happened when I watched Mr Bean.... So one thing led to another and in February this year I finally found the right one and bought myself a classic Mini. Lol. It's a really cute little car. Pinkish purple paint with adorable picnic patterns on the seats. I'm not a mechanical techno girl but I am trying with this little car lol.
So far I've driven it twice, washed it and changed the filter. Great start!
My other project which I'm having a bit more success at is my garden. My garden is pretty big and this year I've made up some stone borders, started growing some cute little flowers and I've managed to put in a breakfast patio which I haven't been able to use yet because the weather is terrible lol!
The garden itself though is looking good, better than it did last year anyway, progress in the right direction.
Last year I was so depressed and found myself suicidal stood at a train station - I'm not proud of that btw but I was just so low I wasn't thinking straight - so anyway fast forward and this year I'm feeling better now on antidepressants and my MH team have said about starting some projects to keep myself busy so I've got my Mini and my garden.
I'd be interested to hear your own if you're happy to share. Might inspire me to do something new!
Hi I just finished one sci fi alien story about time travel, reincarnation and there is much affair and much action. I also drew a Portrait of that alien in photoshop but I’m not satisfied with it, I’m gonna work on it but now I’m constantly busy with my little daughter and catching some moments to recharge in loneliness and silence. I’m gonna have more projects when she grows up a bit
I like sci-fi as well anything and everything to do with it. My love of sci-fi first came when I watched Doctor Who and then I started collecting sci-fi books and movies and watching other sci-fi stuff like the X Files.
One of my fave alieny things is this book I've got called Alienology. It was a Christmas present when I was about 13 and I loved the book straight away. It's an interesting read and has a lot of interactive features.
Do you do much art stuff? I like to be creative in Photoshop. I do a lot of drawing. I use Blender a lot as well, I was making a 3d graphics life simulation game but I've stopped that for now.
Wow really great interests! I’m gonna look for this book! Thank you!
Hello,
glad life is better for you now and hope this continues. My project is painting a panel for my Land Rover so I can fit it. I have two doors to do as well. I do get frustrated as dyspraxia does make painting messy for me but I do my best.
I'm the opposite and have a really good attention span, I can get quite lost in something.
Rain is really annoying when it comes to gardening, it literally stops everything except for plant growth. There's a lot of trees in my garden but they don't block the rain weirdly.
Hopefully we're in line for a dry spell soon...
Ouch, oh no that sounds painful for you. I dislocated my finger last year, it was the index one on my right hand and like I don't even know how I did it but I remember the pain well. Worst pain I've experienced! Hopefully you can find some new hobbies that won't take up too much time and more importantly won't cause you any pain or health issues.
I like finding new hobbies. I try to find a lot of stuff to occupy me. It makes a good escape from the issues I'm facing in real life.
But a bit like you I don't always stick to my hobbies. Some I start and then I completely abandon them before I really give them chance of success.
I think my short attention span doesn't help with this tbh but I believe that's a part of autism so it probably makes sense really.
