Doctors and library

Tina drove me down to the surgery this morning so that I could have my blood test. The nurse weighed me as they haven’t for a few years now, Iweighed the same and some extra blood tests while I was there. If I don’t hear anything they will have all been normal. I made my way home via the sea front and the library. 

I collected a book I had ordered at the library. I had done a ‘story crossword’ a little while ago and the subject was Eleanor Roosevelt and she sounded like a fascinating woman.

Caroline texted to say the dragon light was ready and she also had the plates so I can state working on the sample for the landscape on a plate class. She said she would drop them off later, but sent me the results of the flowerpot class.

I think they turned out well so hope the ladies are pleased with them.

Jean came for a while this afternoon and soon after she left Caroline arrived. Haven’t got a bulb yet but pleased with the result so far. Took several angles.

Have watered the garden, but sitting complete with cat now, as still very tired.

Very quiet day

I have felt weary and achey, and today I decided I need to try taking it a bit more easy and see if that helps. I did a load of washing and then had a nice breakfast with Angela.

Sat and caught up with some tv I had missed and then went and visited Bel for a while as I won’t be seeing her tomorrow as I am having a blood test in the morning.

I have watered the walled garden and ignored the weeds that are filling the beds and appearing on the patio!

I haven taken any photos today but forgot to mention something yesterday. When I was at the pottery studio yesterday Rob was busy unloading a delivery and a lady comes with her niece for a birthday treat. Rob said I would set them up when they were ready to paint. I got the niece started nd then got on with my painting. They asked a few questions and then asked if I could help with a design for the plate. She liked cats so got some images up on my phone. Copied the one she liked. D when she had painted writ the cats name on for her to paint over. They appeared to be very happy when they left.

Still sitting around but hopefully won’t crash out in the chair like I did yesterday. I don’t feel quite so tired tonight,

Feeling weary

A bit of walking today, post box early and then did walk up to Freeport. Best to keep moving as if I sit down I doze off! Yesterday evening I hosed the garden and took some pics.

I had a go at painting a coaster for my workshop. Should be colourful when it is fired.

I tried painting another one at the studio this morning. The pale lines underneath will burn off as I changed it as I painted!

I am feeling very weary so haven’t done a great deal, but did sort out a simple recipe and made a banana cake as we had bananas that were way past their best!

Tina bought this toadstool garden or next at Burghley so got it outside.

Will finish with a few more shots from the garden.

Home and early post

Travelled home today. Darren popped in to see Margherita briefly before we set off for home, I got told off for telling the staff that she will be ninety next month! But she scolded me with a smile on her face while telling me she will ever talk to me again!

I will put some non people pictures from yesterday now.

Two pics from last night when Darren and Anya met up with the family for a meal.

Darren and ai stopped at Hemswell Antique Centre on the way home. Three large buildings with all sorts. I got the bargain of the day, only spending a pound!

Hot and tired now, but it has been a lovely trip.

Back to the pottery studio tomorrow.

Burghley and Stamford

As the heading suggests we were out and about with the family today.I took pics of the moon I the night as I couldn’t sleep and lots of photos today. I will post people ones today and maybe add some plants and sculptures tomorrow! Hot and bothered so will try to get the photos posted nd leave it at that for today.
