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.

  • Testimony: "My Dad’s Lost Bitcoin Was Recovered After 12 Years – Thanks to CLOUDSTRIKE "

    Earlier this year, we came across an old notebook with a partial 9-word seed phrase and a reference to a “Bitcoin wallet – Electrum.” We also found a non-working laptop from around 2013.
    He had once mentioned buying Bitcoin back then, but we assumed it was a passing interest. Clearly, it wasn’t.
    The problem? The laptop was unreadable, and the seed phrase was incomplete.
    After failed DIY attempts, we reached to a company specializing in digital asset recovery and seed phrase reconstruction( CLOUDSTRIKE CYBERSECURITY COMPANY ) . From the beginning, they were professional, transparent, and highly responsive.
    Their team recovered and decrypted data from the damaged laptop, analyzed old wallet files and metadata and also used proprietary tools to reconstruct the missing seed words
    Within three weeks, they successfully recovered the wallet:
    17 BTC—worth over $1,600,000 at the time.
    Thanks to CLOUDSTRIKE , we recovered not just digital assets—but a part of my father’s legacy. The funds helped us pay off our family home, invest in the future, and support a cause he cared about.
    If you’re locked out of a wallet or missing a seed phrase, I highly recommend CLOUDSTRIKE CYBERSECURITY COMPANY and they can be contact through their E-mall address which is ( Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com)
    WhatsApp:+1(260)408-3923
    Their expertise is rare—and real.

  • After retiring from the Healthcare section with over 38 years of service, I thought I’d done everything right—saved diligently, invested wisely, and set myself up for a peaceful retirement. But I got caught in something I never expected. I invested $375,000—my life savings—into what I thought was a legitimate crypto trading platform. It all looked real, until one day, everything disappeared. The platform vanished, and I was left with nothing. I felt sick, angry, and completely lost.

    That’s when I came across PROFESSIONAL WIZARD HACKERS. Honestly, I didn’t have high hopes. I figured once money is gone in the crypto world, it’s gone for good. But from the first conversation, their team was different. They were real professional, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. They didn’t make wild promises—they explained the process clearly, laid out what they needed from me, and got to work right away.

    To my surprise, the whole process was smoother and faster than I ever expected. They tracked the transaction trail, worked with blockchain data, and coordinated with exchanges. I didn’t have to deal with any of the technical stuff—they handled it all. They kept me updated every step of the way, which really helped me feel at ease.

    After just a few weeks, I couldn’t believe it—they recovered every penny I lost. My savings are now back in my hands, safe and secure.

    If you’ve been scammed or lost money through crypto, I’m here to tell you: don’t give up. PROFESSIONAL WIZARD RECOVERY HACKERS gave me back my peace of mind and my financial future. I can’t recommend them highly enough. They’re the real deal and they can be contacted through their contact details below.

  • CRYPTO SCAM RECOVERY SUCCESSFUL – A TESTIMONIAL OF LOST PASSWORD TO YOUR DIGITAL WALLET BACK.

    My name is Robert Alfred, Am from Australia. I’m sharing my experience in the hope that it helps others who have been victims of crypto scams. A few months ago, I fell victim to a fraudulent crypto investment scheme linked to a broker company. I had invested heavily during a time when Bitcoin prices were rising, thinking it was a good opportunity. Unfortunately, I was scammed out of $120,000 AUD and the broker denied me access to my digital wallet and assets. It was a devastating experience that caused many sleepless nights. Crypto scams are increasingly common and often involve fake trading platforms, phishing attacks, and misleading investment opportunities. In my desperation, a friend from the crypto community recommended Capital Crypto Recovery Service, known for helping victims recover lost or stolen funds. After doing some research and reading multiple positive reviews, I reached out to Capital Crypto Recovery. I provided all the necessary information—wallet addresses, transaction history, and communication logs. Their expert team responded immediately and began investigating. Using advanced blockchain tracking techniques, they were able to trace the stolen Dogecoin, identify the scammer’s wallet, and coordinate with relevant authorities to freeze the funds before they could be moved. Incredibly, within 24 hours, Capital Crypto Recovery successfully recovered the majority of my stolen crypto assets. I was beyond relieved and truly grateful. Their professionalism, transparency, and constant communication throughout the process gave me hope during a very difficult time. If you’ve been a victim of a crypto scam, I highly recommend them with full confidence contacting:
