I enjoyed reading your post, it is not simple diary that often citing your daily routine but I like how you build it up. It feels like you are speaking to invisible auditorium.

When I saw that you mentioned diary that school children did, I had to smile, it was not must for us, but some of our children did and it was nicely documented every day with sometimes drawings and maybe some dry leaves that we were stuck there or something else from walk. As to myself, I was very bad, I remember that one day I also decided to write a diary but except 2-3 sentences I was not able to add. That is why it was nothing for me. I think nowadays I would be able to write even couple of pages for a day, although who knows if people will be interested :)

Fried rice noodles, sounds yummy, by the way there is a community @steemit-ironchef, where you can post the recipes and often they have some nice contests too.

Calligraphy is beautiful, love it, once I wanted to train to write in old German writing style approximately looking like that

I have a Fountain Pen for that, maybe also restart that. I love the drawing, did you draw before? You probably can visit @jorgevandeperre 's blog, he is an art tutor in WOX and has very good tutorials.
