After an intimate dinner with artist Leo Burtin and 7 strangers, in a blackened theater space, my life was somewhat changed. I heard the words of a lady who touched my soul with her diary entries. 'Today belongs to' is a response to her observant eye and the time she took to notice all the small happenings around her. I invite you to join me in exploring the little and important things that are often missed.

Wednesday 24th February: Postal offerings
Today started with getting up late. New phone. New alarm. Forgetful me. Didn't check... Oops! I made the decision to embrace the lateness of my day. I woke with the light, which shimmered blue through the window. My favourite colour. A morning sparkling with the frost, how could I feel anything other than excited about it? I walked to work feeling cold, enjoying the chill on my face. I spent most of my time working with staff today, discussing teaching and learning. I am always amazed and amused by discussions in these sessions and how passionate others are about education. I finally got around to posting B's birthday gift (almost a month late! Must get better at posting) - at the post office I chatted to the man behind the screen, he asked what was in the parcel. I asked him what was the strangest thing he had ever received at the post office: Boobs (inserts for false ones!), human ashes and urine (still warm!) this made me laugh a lot!! I picked up some almond milk on the way back and ran into a lady I worked with who was helping another lady at the self serve check out. I admired her patience and kindness. she nodded and said 'it's like being back at work!'.
Oh... And voodoo grass X
