The girl in the mill


Hello everyone,

It sure had been a long while since my last entry. So long even that I almost forgot this blog existed.During that time alot has happend. I learned alot about myself, and have grown as a person because of it. We are quick to think that as matures we know all about ourselves but in reality we are not always in control of our behaviour. How to deal with circumstances not always in your control, I fear it is a learning process until the end of my life but I know it's the same with any other person. Yes, that also means you. 

One of the other good things is that in an unexpected way there came a person in my life that became very dear to me. This person recently stayed in a mill for some days to read, do model drawing, and just to enjoy to simply be there. This inspired me to make a drawing of how that looked like in my mind.

One of the not so good things is that a bird smacked against a window at my parents place. It left a surprising mark as you can see. The beak and wings are clearly visible. I did not see the bird anywhere afterwards so I hope it was alright and just flew on.



One of the just sad things is that recently the company I work for (I'm active in the candy business) was open for public for a day. It was an enormous succes as we had more than 13.000(!) visitors and waiting lines of over more than 2 hours! A few days before this happend a film crew came over to film employers and I was one of them. They filmed me doing my daily job and I said some lines into the camera. Spread over the area where the visitors would pass they installed some tv screens showing this footage giving me major exposure. My boss had the excellent idea to put me near one of those screens to give autographs to people wanting a souvenir of this joyfull event (I wish I was making this up), but sadly though, no one seemed interested in an autograph by me and I did not sign a single card. I guess I am not as popular as I thought.....

And now just shut up and enjoy.
