Damn Fine Day / 14×11 screenprint | theSIBLINGshop

I need this on my wall, just as a reminder.

I had a shock the afternoon before yesterday when I was made redundant from my job. The shock really was the timing, which happens to be most unfortunate for me – I can share more details later – and the fact that this has been in the works for a few months and I’ve only been told now. Extra notice and transparency in these situations can always help people.

This year was already going to be one of huge changes, exciting, but I wouldn’t have added this into the mix if given a choice. I have three weeks notice, helpful, but that also means that uncomfortable of feeling where you go in to work every day to people who feel bad for you but are so happy it’s not them.

Today will be a damn fine day!

As you can see it’s not very heavy at the moment, but it is a huge rain system and it’s been hanging around for days. There has been flash flooding already in places and people are becoming very concerned about a repeat of our huge floods last year. This is not possible as far as I know due to measures in place since then, but as I finish this post from my phone and look out of the train window I can see creeks that have broken their banks already and low lying areas just full of water.

We’re living north of the city and are quite safe from any flooding but the areas I travel through to get home are not, so I’ll be keeping a sharp eye on the progression of things today just in case.

Wherever you are I hope you’re safe and well.

I have discovered my absolute dream wall decorations!

If you follow me on pinterest you’ll know that one of my largest walls is Decorated Walls – I’m finding almost daily decorations that I’d more than happily hang or attach on my walls, but this modular hanging system from ixxi seriously takes the cake, so many exciting possibilities.
