I stayed up late again last night working and reading. I was playing around with inks and colours which can be a bit unusual for me. I think that turning a bit nocturnal will be good for my work. There is a sense of silence late at night as your surroundings begin to go to sleep (except for the possums that romp around my roof). I find myself less distracted by outside elements at this time and can just focus and push myself to keep working. I'm also sort of enjoying having a limited window of day time to go out and see people and do things.

Yesterday afternoon I got back to the cottage and stepped out on the verandah to find a boat full of people passing by and looking up to me. They began to wave. I waved back. I felt like the Queen for a fleeting moment. It was quite ridiculous. Another cruise ship passed by this morning but I had gone too shy to be seen so hid inside with my cup of tea and my book. I'm enjoying living up in my fantasy cottage, slightly removed from the world below.
