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.

  • My Bitcoin Recovery Experience with Cloudstrike Cybersecurity

    A few weeks ago, I made what I thought was an irreversible mistake — I accidentally sent about $117,000 worth of Bitcoin to the wrong wallet address. It was supposed to be used for a major purchase, but one typo changed everything. The moment I hit “send” and realized what had happened, my heart sank. I honestly felt like my world was falling apart. That money was everything I had.

    Like many people, I’d always heard that crypto transactions are final and basically impossible to recover. I started reading forums, asking around, and all I saw were messages telling me there was nothing I could do. It felt hopeless.

    Then I came across a company called Cloudstrike Cybersecurity . I’ll admit — I was skeptical at first. It just sounded too good to be true, but I figured I had nothing to lose. I contacted them through their email[Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com]

    To my surprise, they responded quickly and professionally. They asked for all the relevant transaction details — the wallet address I sent the Bitcoin from, the one I sent it to, the transaction ID, and a few other things. I sent it all over, still unsure if anything would come of it.

    But within 48 hours, they got back to me with incredible news: they had tracked down the transaction and recovered my funds. I couldn’t believe it. I actually had to reread the email a few times to let it sink in. They guided me step by step and transferred the recovered Bitcoin back to my wallet. I was in shock — and honestly, beyond grateful.

    I never thought recovery like this was even possible, but Cloudstrike Cybersecurity proved me wrong. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to them. They truly saved me.

  • My name is Martha, and I never thought I’d be the victim of a crypto scam, but life has a way of humbling you. A few months ago, I invested a huge chunk of my savings, decades of hard-earned money into what seemed like a promising crypto platform. The slick website, glowing testimonials, and a charming advisor convinced me to transfer 15 Bitcoin, into their wallet. Days later, the platform vanished, my funds were gone, and I was left with nothing but regret. Desperate, I turned to the internet, scouring forums and posts on X for help. That’s when I stumbled across Alpha Spy Nest, a shadowy group of cyber-recovery experts specializing in crypto fraud. Their reputation was murky but promising whispers of successful recoveries and a no-nonsense approach. I reached out through their encrypted portal, half-expecting a scam. Within hours, they responded, asking for details: transaction IDs, wallet addresses, and screenshots of my interactions with the scammers. Alpha Spy Nest operated in the dark corners of the web, using a mix of blockchain forensics, social engineering, and unconventional methods to track lost crypto. They traced my Bitcoin to a series of obfuscated wallets, likely controlled by an offshore syndicate. The team deployed advanced chain-analysis tools to follow the funds, pinpointing a weak link in the scammers’ network, a poorly secured exchange account in Eastern Europe.Over weeks, Alpha Spy Nest worked tirelessly, infiltrating the scammers’ digital trails. And then i received a message, we’ve got a lead. They’d recovered 12 of my 15 Bitcoin, transferred to a secure wallet they set up for me. The rest, they said, was likely gone forever, but I was overjoyed. My savings were partially restored, and I felt a weight lift. I never met them, but they gave me, back hope and a lesson, the crypto world is a jungle, but sometimes, even in the dark, there are allies.

  • 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:
