childhood bedroom anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
They put a far in. No spa, No a spa. Yeah,
oh wow, you gotta put waterproof because the whole thing's
a whole thing. You were never going to go back there,
they ruled you right, did you go.

of home, so I was coming back home every so
of and my bedroom.

Was still there.

But my mum had started this little hobby and she
was learning how to paint. And then I went away
and I went to the work overseas, and I came
back after being away for two or three years, I
can't remember, and she decided to start her own home
business of teaching paintings. As she was doing these little
sip and create classes in my bedroom and she was
(03:06):
even using my childhood toys as part.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Of the still life set up. You know, it's interesting
though you've been away for two years, your mother is in.
But is it funny the assumption that my parents better
not touch my bedroom? They were sealed up like some
shry jocks, still sitting on the end of the bed.
Love it? Thank you Kerry.
