Jo's Fun & Creativity

22/04/2024

Good morning everyone! It's been a while since my last update here, so I thought I'd check in. I hope you're all doing well. Can you believe it's already been a year since we closed the business? I really miss everyone.
Time flies, doesn't it? I still have plenty of paint left, so I'm thinking of getting back into painting as a hobby. I've really missed it. The past year seems like a blur; I can't believe how quickly it's gone by. I had my knee replacement surgery on December 6th, which was tough due to complications with fluid. I honestly didn't think I'd recover, but here I am, four months later, walking well, although I still need to take breaks when walking long distances. Being overweight hasn't made it any easier.
I started the Lady Shake program on January 15th and lost 8kg by the end of March. I took a break from it but plan to resume this week. I just returned from a lovely week in Thailand and am now planning our next trip to Bali for a month over Christmas and New Year. I always like having something to look forward to.
I'm also considering taking up pottery as a new hobby. I've never tried it before but have always been interested. I found a local instructor just three minutes away from me, so I need to explore that further. I'm feeling a bit lost at the moment and not sure what direction to take. Since my knee replacement, I've become quite lazy, spending most of my time watching Netflix, so I need to make some changes.
Amber is doing well; she's still working. Can you believe Harvey will be turning 4 in September? He's such a cute boy, and I can't imagine life without him.
So, who's still painting? I'd love to see photos of your projects. Just a reminder, Clara from Sweet Pea Interiors now carries Artisan Mineral Paint and can assist you with anything you need.
Will keep in touch!!

Well it’s nearly D day (I mean KNEE day). 2 more sleeps. I’m excited that it’s finally happening although I must admit I’m a tad nervous. Not real happy about not having a general anaesthetic but I’ve been assured I won’t feel or hear a thing.
