What I actually do in a day

Posted by Caroline Valpied on

Gutsy the Wombat by Jimmi BuscombeSome days are fairly productive. Example: Early morning coffee with Jimmi Buscombe (of wombat fame, 80K views! click here if you haven't seen it yet...) who is an exceptional artist, friend and mentor. Fixed something on my website in Salvador's first nap. I can't remember anything else from that day, but I'm sure I did lots. I remember it being fulfilling. I probably bought some paint or something.

Some days are less productive in terms of art. Perhaps I don't do anything, then Drawings of my babydrink wine when Sal's gone to bed. Today was half half. The thing is, it's almost impossible for me to do any of my art practice with my little one around. He's gorgeous and sweet, and well, quite needy. He just loves full on attention, just like, um, me. Can't really blame him. Today though, I decided to attempt to draw him even though he is NEVER still. I love looking at him and I wanted to capture something of the curve of his cute little bottom, his little legs, the way the hat I always make him wear doesn't really fit him anymore and sort of bulges on top of his head.

It felt so good to get my pencil out, while watching him entertain himself in the garden knowing I was close so he could come and check in (climb on me) any time he wanted. He even got familiar with some of my art materials!

At last it felt like I could draw and be a good mum at the same time.

  • “In the crypto world, this is great news I want to share. Last year, I fell victim to a scam disguised as a safe investment option. I have invested in crypto trading platforms for about 10yrs thinking I was ensuring myself a retirement income, only to find that all my assets were either frozen, I believed my assets were secure — until I discovered that my BTC funds had been frozen and withdrawals were impossible. It was a devastating moment when I realized I had been scammed, and I thought my Bitcoin was gone forever, Everything changed when a close friend recommended the Capital Crypto Recover Service.

  • My name is Hassan Khalifa, and for months I lived through one of the most distressing experiences of my life. I had invested $45,000 worth of Ethereum (ETH) into what I believed was a promising online trading platform run by supposed professional investors. At first, everything appeared legitimate, the website was sleek, the representatives spoke with confidence, and my account dashboard even showed daily profits. But everything changed the moment I tried to withdraw my funds.The platform suddenly began giving me excuses, requests for tax clearance,unlock fees, and endless verification steps. I realized too late that I had been dealing with scammers. My account access was blocked, and all attempts to reach their support went unanswered.  I was devastated, knowing I had lost nearly all my savings.That was when a trusted associate introduced me to Washington Recovery Pro, a reputable team known for helping victims of crypto-related fraud. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out to them and explained my entire ordeal.Their response was immediate and professional they assured me that, with my transaction details, wallet addresses, and chat records, they could begin digital forensics to trace the stolen ETH.After a few weeks of intense recovery operations, I finally received my $45,000 worth of ETH back into my secure wallet. It was a moment of relief, gratitude, and disbelief all at once.Thanks to Washington Recovery Pro, I regained not just my stolen assets but also my confidence in the digital financial space. Their transparency, communication, and professionalism were second to none. I will forever remain grateful for their dedication in helping victims like me find justice and recovery in a space often plagued by deceit..visit their handle below

  • I’m retired, and like many people my age, I wanted to find a way to make my savings last longer and maybe grow a little. I’d heard so much about Bitcoin and how it was the future, so when I came across an ‘investment opportunity’ that looked professional and trustworthy, I thought I’d give it a try. At first, everything seemed fine. The account they set up for me showed profits increasing, and they even allowed me to make a small withdrawal in the beginning. That made me feel confident, so I invested more of my retirement funds. But when I tried to take out a larger amount, everything went silent. Suddenly, I couldn’t log in, and my emails went unanswered. That’s when I realized I had been scammed. The feeling was devastating. This wasn’t just money, it was part of the savings I had worked my entire life for. I felt foolish, embarrassed, and very alone. Every article I read said the same thing: once Bitcoin is gone, it can’t be recovered. I thought I had to accept the loss and move on, even though it weighed heavily on me. Then I learned about GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. At first, I was hesitant, after being scammed once, I wasn’t sure I could trust anyone again. But from the very first conversation, they treated me with kindness and respect. They didn’t make me feel judged, and they explained the process in a way I could understand. I gave them all the details I had, transaction IDs, wallet addresses, and emails from the scammers. They went to work right away and kept me updated every step of the way. Weeks later, they achieved what I thought was impossible: they recovered a significant portion of my stolen Bitcoin and returned it to me safely. I cannot describe the relief I felt. Knowing that I hadn’t completely lost those funds gave me back peace of mind and restored some of the security I need in retirement. I will forever be grateful to GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. They gave me back not only my money but also my confidence. If you’ve been scammed, no matter your age, please don’t give up hope. I thought I had lost everything for good, but recovery is possible, and I’m proof of it.
