As many of you will know, I’m trying to challenge myself at a realistic level every day.
It means that I can achieve and maintain something – which is always important for morale.
Here are the results of my February Instagram Challenge…

Day 1 – ‘Drink’
Cheers! Champagne drunk from a coupe seems to taste so much more extravagant than it does from a flute.
Very Gatsby.

Day 2 – ‘So Colourful’
White chested rose finch.

Day 3 – ‘Car’
Ford Mustang.

Day 4 – ‘Texture’
Chocolate meringue pavlova with salted caramel, whiskey sauce, raspberries & caramel hazelnuts.

Day 5 – ‘Coffee’
Anytime is Coffee Time.

Day 6 – ‘Just Now’
The only missing picture…

Day 7 – ‘I Ate Here’
Wall at TriBeCa, Smithdown Road, Liverpool.

Day 8 – ‘Family’
‘There are two gifts we should give our children: one is roots. And the other is wings’.

Day 9 – ‘A Corner’
A pair of Architectural Pottery pieces designed by LaGardo Tackett at Pierre’s Koenig’s Case Study House, 21.

Day 10 – ‘Pink’
Lovebirds.

Day 11 – ‘A Wall’
Mural from Surface View – flowers and shell design, Balthasar Van Der Ast.

Day 12 – ‘Paper’
Paper sculpture, Irving Harper.

Day 13 – ‘A pet’
Denny Dog is the doorstop that my daughters regularly take with them to the park.

Day 14 – ‘My Happy Place’
My bed. With everything I need for child-free contentment: a laptop with strong WiFi connection, magazines, matching stationery, 2H pencils and a therapeutic cat.
All on ridiculously extravagant bedding and a candlewick bedspread – a gift to myself and something to remind me of home.

Day 15 – ‘Yellow and Blue’
Navy and yellow floral fabric by IKOplusFabric.

Day 16 – ‘Empty’
In August of 2007, astronomers located a gigantic hole in the universe. This empty space, stretching nearly a billion light-years across, is devoid of any matter such as galaxies, stars, and gas, and neither does it contain the strange and mysterious dark matter, which can be detected but not seen. The large void in the Constellation Eridanus appears to be improbable given current cosmological models. A radical and controversial theory proposes that it is a “universe-in-mass black hole”.

Day 17 – ‘Door’
Bird door knocker.

Day 18 – ‘In the Background’
The View Through A Leaf, Kobi Refaeli.

Day 19 – ‘Breakfast’  Shredded hash browns and cheese nests baked until crispy topped with baked eggs, crumbled bacon and more cheese. Served with chilled avocado slices.

Day 20 – ‘Keeping Fit’
Running. It makes me feel alive.

Day 21 – ‘Hobby’
Collecting vintage copies of magazines – especially Vogue.
I don’t have a very good pension so I’m going to have to let them go eventually…
