What Am I Up To Now?

Summer 2025 Update

Sailing

Making time for sailing this summer. After a long day, whatever the mood, it is like medicine. I come off the water smiling and can’t imagine anything else lifting my mood like this. The boys are both sailing and getting a taste of travelling to regattas, they still make time to sail with me.

Learning Piano

Well one song. I had never played piano but fell in love with Nuvole Bianche from the first time I heard it. For the last 6 months I’ve been working on (re)learning to read music and play this beautiful piece. There has been steady progress and the difference from 6 months ago is staggering. Adding the left hand is proving extremely difficult. I'm fortunate Sarah is a such a talented and encouraging instructor.

Spoiling my Dog

She is such a positive spark in my day and only asks for my love and attention in return.

3D Printing Rabbit Hole

I picked up this spiral fidget at a craft show. The entire booth was 3D printed objects, even the bins their wares were displayed in were printed. I’ve been going down the rabbit hole, trying to decide if it’s something I would enjoy.

 Midlife Crisis

I have been having more thoughts recently about the big questions. What is the point of life? What does fulfillment look like to me? What goals do I still want to complete? I don’t have any of the answers although have started looking at for a classic Corvette. What good is a midlife crisis if I don’t have a little fun 😉
