Hi Angelo,
I'm well, but no holidays this year, alas. Usually we spend a couple of weeks in France, but money is too short this year.
How are you - summer must be a really good time for your swordsmanship demonstrations.
Best wishes,
Mary

Hello Mary, summer in France is too hot temperatures. I did not make swordmanship demonstrations this summer. Because of personnal reasons. But hope to do some in the future. Best Wishes.
Angelo.

If only. I don't quite get them to be honest... they are free icons that you exchange with people.

No, I haven't, but have thought about it. My day job is taking up too much time at the moment to build up any stock, but with Etsy I could work to order.

Thanks! Alas, I'm revising for exams next week, but I'll be going out in a bit for drinks with family and friends so should be good.
I'm neglecting creative stuff at the moment, because of pressure of work and study - I should know better about work-life balance, but hey.
On the plus side, I did some very challenging cycling recently - didn't do the full distance,but will go back and try again1
Thanks again for your wishes, and keep up the great photography!

Things are a bit tough at the moment, but I'm hanging on in there. Thanks for asking . I have an exciting holiday coming up, cycling the English Coast to Coast - not nearly as challenging as doing it in the States! However, it's a couple of hundred miles across the north of England so plenty challenging for me, and we're going to be camping along the way, carrying all our gear with us.
Hope things are going well for you too, and you're enjoying your summer break.

That's really kind! The software I use is called Apophysis, and is free to download. There are loads of brilliant fractal artists on DA, and a lot of very helpful tutorials. Then it's just a matter of playing!

If you mean "If God had intended me to walk..." I made it up on account of being terminally lazy. Though in fairness, since I wrote that, I've taken up cycling and am a reformed character. Maybe I need a new quote!

Hi yourself! That is such a lovely comment, and thank you for it. I should pay more attention to my photography and traditional art - I'm neglecting them shamefully at the moment. As for the fractals, I kind of mess about until something works for me...story of my life, really! Thank you again!
