Plenty of good people around, I come across them all the time. Few people are nasty/ not good.

But... someone being a good person doesn't make him a good partner for me.
If it was that simple no one would be single.
In order to be fulfilled & happy in a relationship and with a partner I need a bit more than simple "good person".

On another dating site a bloke became a member while his wife had passed away less than a year ago.
He's a good person but not good partner material. He thinks he is but all he talks about is how much he loves his deceased wife, how much he misses her. He even wants his ashes to be mixed with hers after death.
Now he truly is a nice person, a good person, but nowhere near ready for a relationship and I doubt he ever will be.

Just one example of how 'good' doesn't equal "good partner".

Thank you so much!

Hihi I'll think about it.
And thank you!! I'm really happy with it :D

Thank you!
We're getting reasonably strong winds tomorrow. I'll keep an eye on it!

Thank you so much, Julie!
I'm really happy with it :D

And because of the way I set it up I can easily take him indoors during winter if I want to.
It can stay outdoors, Paverpol can handle that, but it can be very windy and storm a lot here. I wouldn't want the wings to get damaged.
The corner where he's in is quite sheltered with the hedges on 2 sides, but still...

I take all deco and statues indoors during winter, Venus de Milo, Buddhas, Quan Yin etc.
I'll add AA Christiel's statue to it.

For now I enjoy the statue being there!

Last Saturday I suddenly felt I wanted AA Christiel outdoors in the garden where I created the portal of Lyra.

Until then I'd sort of lost inspiration to do that. The grass in that part of the garden had gotten way too long so it'd mean a lot of work before I could even get to putting the statue there.

Saturday felt right, I got to work with mowers and so on, until it looked like it should.
Then it was time to put the bamboo rack in its place and after properly anchoring that, AA Christiel's statue on top.

To be able to attach the statue to the rack I used a new round BBQ grill. I fastened that to the bamboo rack with wire.
The statue doesn't weigh much so without it'd blow over with the least bit of wind.

Here it is!
The area directly in front is where I concentrate the portal. I keep empowering it on regular basis.


The whole setup. The white unicorns in the conifers around the area. The blue chunks are to weigh the rack down more. It's recycled car glass, sold for garden deco.
The colour turquoise goes well with AA Christiel.



From greater distance, it's almost a straight path from the front of the garden to the portal with the statue :D



Close-up. I added the (fake) pearl in his right hand. The other holds the white ascension flame:



Then I put a few solar lights with it. It's a dark corner with conifers on 2 sides, in the back of the garden, and I wanted it to be lit up at light.
I will add a few larger solar lights later on.



After it was all outdoors, me totally happy, I saw it was 17-8-2024 ==> 8-8-8!!!
No wonder I had inspiration to get it done that day!

This has been proven to be real with current technology etc.
These days one could hoax such a vid but not at the time this was shot.
The way the muscles move, the shine & movement etc. of the fur is real.
At the time they could not fake that. They didn't even that quality fake fur that would / could drape around someone's body.
Proven fact.
This is a real creature.
They even managed to establish the height of Patty.

Watch "Expedition Bigfoot". That's how I got all that info.
Not only did they go out to try and find definite proof, they also went to see scientists & experts concerning certain matters.

That's how they could say -based on new expert research- that this short film is real.
She -as she has breasts- wasn't very tall. Maybe a younger Bigfoot?

That's one of the mysteries.
Theory is that they have a specific way of burying their dead.

There's also ample material to support the theory that they can make themselves invisible.
Science is investigating invisibility, probably for military purposes, and have actually come close.
I've seen them do it in the docu series "Expedition Bigfoot".
Scientist proving it is possible.
To us it sounds far-fetched, but scientifically proven and shown.

Another thing is, that wherever there's a lot of Bigfoot activity the US military show up out of the blue.
They've also fenced off vast stretches of nature where there tends to be a lot of Bigfoot activity.
Meaning... US government knows a helluva lot more about them than they're willing to let the public know.
Also means they're real otherwise government wouldn't behave that way.
I think it is also highly likely that US government has captured Bigfoot.

That's what I detest about science. It can do good things but in many ways & aspects it's horribly outdated.
How can they claim to be contemporary and to be the 'know it all' in the world when they need to kill a living being in order to say "we have proof!"

There's been tons of proof.
The only reason that's not considered valid is that science is to far behind for the existing proof to be enough for them to say "we have proof!"

Isn't that insane?
Just because one aspect in society has become the gauge, the God of Proof (so they think), we have to kill living beings.
It's 2024 for crying out loud!

As long as they're lagging behind they shouldn't be the gauge for "it's real" or "it's not".
Thanks goodness many scientists are changing and don't operate so b&w anymore. but the mainstream that everyone latches on to, incl. governments, still is.

Ask their name???
Is it a blind date?
Normally when you go on a date you know their name.
You also know some background info from chatting before meeting.

Personally I have nothing specific I'd ask.
I am not into 20 questions, but in a nice conversation.
If conversation is difficult it's not the right person for me. With the right one it just flows and you automatically get to a question here and there, but then it's a natural thing that is related to context of the convo.

Hi Gia, thank you so much!!

Lovely to hear from you as well :)

I've been busy with lots of creative things and when it comes to dating looking on national dating sites.
Hence me spending less time here, only so many hours in the day!!

It gets even worse... many men also think a duck face is attractive.
Now it's not attractive for most women to do, but I can tell you it's seriously off-putting when a man does it

Another thing I often see is men making photos when they're for instance sitting on a deck chair or settee, feet up, to show off their legs, almost from the hips.
Such a feminine thing to do, sexy when a woman does it, not very masculine for a man to do.

Thank you so much, Julie :D

Thanks Julie :)



It's finished!
He's got legs now, a 5 0'clock, highlights around his hair and clothes, worked on both their shoes.
Added the lantern on the right, finished the low wall on the left.
I made the flowers in the tree brighter and so on.

Drinking coffee whilst attempting to wake up :)

Currently re-watching season 1 & 2 of Vikings Valhalla as season 3 is out but I didn't recall enough of what had happened.

I got to this last night. Still not done.
First attempt of the dress didn't feel right so I changed it.
And of course worked on the highlights of the bench.
I added some very fine detail on the hood of his sweatvest. Just a wee bit more aquamarine blue in very thin lines. And altered the top line of his sleeve. I suddenly noticed it was way too high and the folds annoyed me as well.
Now it's much better and I'm happy with it :D

Also done her hair, at first it was rather bland. His will get some more depth as well.

I didn't paint for 5 months and 2-3 days ago I suddenly felt like it again!
So I got on with it, hihi.

Not done yet!!

This is what I did yesterday afternoon after Gesso-ing 2x.




Ended the day with this:




Tonight I got to this stage. Of course nowhere near finished

How impressive. And yet... here you are.

Your profile is only about sex while most women -certainly the ones your age- want something serious.
There's nothing in your profile that could pique interest.

I've just finished the wings!
I had initially wanted them to be a little wider and then curl over but it would also make them like sails on a yacht. And since it's very windy where I live I decided to not go there.

Now he looks like this:







Now wait for it to dry, then I can continue painting.
