      I never thought of waiting as a creative space—but now I’m curious to try it! As someone who finds mindfulness in crochet, this feels like another gentle way to slow down and reconnect. Beautifully written, Kate!

      Hi, JP, I’ve just left a comment on your blog now – see below.

      Hi JP, I find it fascinating that you have written about heavy metal music. The reason is because we were just talking about music at the office yesterday and what sort of music we like. One of my colleagues said she’d seen Rod Stewart live in concert and mentioned Glastonbury. Another of my colleagues said her son had performed at Glastonbury just recently, with the ALT BLK ERA band, see the video link below. https://youtu.be/Pkg_L5fAi1k?si=IROqVR49NZPx-__a

      Another colleague told me that she is really into heavy metal and has been to concerts by Guns and Roses, and also Iron Maiden who are her favourite bands.

      Personally I’m more into jazz classics and in particular tango music.

      I look forward to reading more of your blogs JP with great interest.

      Alice 🙂”

      So true! Time certainly flies Glenda 🙂 I realised I’ve not really updated my blog at all, since the last blog challenge. So I’m also grateful to this challenge to motivate me to get into writing blogs again. I find it helps to have accountability and goals.

      Wonderful post. I loved the video. As someone who spends a lot of time attempting all sorts of mixed media, I enjoyed the suggestions. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any place in your blog post to make a comment. So, if I overlooked it, I apologize!
