Dancing Moth: January 2017
http://dancingmoth.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html
Dancing, Wildlife, And Creative Inspiration. Monday, 23 January 2017. Since well before Thanksgiving, the Gratitude/Happiness/Memories Jar memes were doing the rounds of Facebook (again). I've no idea when this tradition started, but, since it seems to include reading back all the memories, happy moments and things to be grateful for at Thanksgiving, I expect that it's more of a 'thing' in the USA. I learn over a year? So I am going to record them (when I remember to - no absolutes here! Finishing a piec...

Dancing Moth: June 2016
http://dancingmoth.blogspot.com/2016_06_01_archive.html
Dancing, Wildlife, And Creative Inspiration. Saturday, 11 June 2016. Back into the Garden. It seems unreal that I have now been here for just over a year. And I am still. Unpacking, cleaning and sorting (albeit with varying degrees of energy and dedication to the task! If I disturb them, and they start to buzz and whine. They seem to pipe down again. I spent some time watching for individuals to come out to visit the flowers. Facebook was full of exhortations to allow dandelions to flower as ...Meanwhile...

Dancing Moth: October 2016
http://dancingmoth.blogspot.com/2016_10_01_archive.html
Dancing, Wildlife, And Creative Inspiration. Monday, 10 October 2016. The View is Still Here. Popping back up to the bedroom to fetch some laundry on 13th September, I could see some goings-on in the field. Zooming in, I could see they'd dug a hole (looks like the same reddish, stony soil I have in my garden - hardly surprising! Presumably it drained okay - by lunchtime, the hole had been filled in. Links to this post. Friday, 7 October 2016. Season of Mists and Musings. It's the start of October already...

Dancing Moth: Happy New Year 2017!
http://dancingmoth.blogspot.com/2017/01/happy-new-year-2017.html
Dancing, Wildlife, And Creative Inspiration. Monday, 9 January 2017. Happy New Year 2017! Here we are again, how the years fly by! Time for another introspective, retrospective, New Year post, and the now-traditional picture of the London Fireworks. Still, the joint pain meant I really couldn't be bothered to tidy my projects away in the living room enough to put decorations up, and have to take them down a couple of weeks later. Not very festive, but I'd only myself to please. Apart from that, it will b...

Dancing Moth: November 2016
http://dancingmoth.blogspot.com/2016_11_01_archive.html
Dancing, Wildlife, And Creative Inspiration. Friday, 4 November 2016. Last week was half term, and with no classes to teach and the offer from a local friend to look in on my cats, I went away for a couple of days to see my friend S. She has IIH (as a primary condition, there are other problems! The little bungalow is just right, with a little patio area and low maintenance flower bed out the back, so her Chihuahua can do his business and scamper around a little. He's evidently settled in well too! We ar...

Dancing Moth: May 2016
http://dancingmoth.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Dancing, Wildlife, And Creative Inspiration. Wednesday, 25 May 2016. Time is doing its thing and I haven't written much yet this year - busy with other things, I suppose. We often have a period of cool but fine weather in Spring, but it doesn't seem to have happened this year. Ze, in the C é. April brought a few more sunny but chilly days. I happened to be out and about on the 9th, so took sandwiches down to Gelliswick Bay and was rewarded with the sight of a very low tide. It occurred to me that perhaps...

Dancing Moth: Belly Dance Costume on a Budget
http://dancingmoth.blogspot.com/2016/12/belly-dance-costume-on-budget.html
Dancing, Wildlife, And Creative Inspiration. Monday, 5 December 2016. Belly Dance Costume on a Budget. It was with a deepening sense of gloom that I watched the coverage of the Autumn Statement. The forecast is that low and middle income 'households' who are the JAMs - a nice new acronym, the 'Just About Managing' - will find themselves worse off as a combination of inflation and welfare cuts take hold. First, bear in mind that your costume should:. Suit the dance style. A distinct style, or fusion?
