Bit snap happy!

 This morning was taken up with usual household stuff but did cut some of the stripped reeds to go in with the canes in the bucket!

I went for a walk along the river path this afternoon in the opposite direction to Dunkeld. I was playing around with photos today, for my pleasure as much s nice ones to put on the blog. So feel free to skip through them I will put a boring one of a tree first, quite a few by the river and on the other side of the pth had wire frames round them, but they are mature trees so o wondered if there were maybe beavers in the area. Anyway, it just seemed odd.

Now for the rest!

I will be getting dinner soon and then off to the film society this evening to see ‘I swear’.

A pretty good day

This morning I wasn’t as achy as I thought I would be so had a walk into Dunkeld. I went along the river path which is getting a bit muddy in places now but not enough to make me go the road way. Not much colour on the trees yest but plenty on the ground.

This tree has no leaves left!

I did a bit of shopping in Dunkeld and had a drink before coming home. Took photos either side of the bridge.

Some canes arrived yesterday so I sorted out hacksaw, files nd clamp and cut a few indoors.

Then took everything outside and cut quite a lot more. I have filed them a bit and cleaned some holes, still ness to sandpaper them and cut quite a lot more!

Tina did go into church as a wedding was booked for today but she is still really not well so I got dinner early so I could settle down for Strictly. Over two hours, but a good show.

Will finish with a photo Darren took from the back door a few minutes ago.

Slow start, exhausting finish!

This morning was quiet, bit of jigsaw, went to the library to collect a couple of books for Tina. While I was there, I saw Moira who runs the garden group. I asked her if she would mind if I took responsibility for the wild flower area and she was delighted, so that is good. I put a few bits in the jigsaw and did a sketch of the church from a photo.

The canes I ordered have arrived and I have two small metal buckets, just need the reed screening to arrive and I can think bout starting the bee house.

This afternoon I decided to try and walk to The Hermitage which I haven’t done for a while. Obviously took some photos on the way and when I eventually got to the waterfall.

The donut kiosk was still open so I had hot chocolate and two donuts before walking home.

I really struggled walking home, think willpower got me here! I just took a couple of pictures on the way.

It was a relief to sit and get my feet up when I did get home, and I won’t be venturing far from it this evening. The hearing aid app says I did over 14,000 steps, I had better have a few shorter walks and build my stamina up again!

Jigsaw and slow walk!

 A pretty quiet day. Tina had said she would like me to do a sketch of the front of the church. I walked across the road to see if there was anywhere to sit out of the way, but there wasn’t. I took a couple of photos and thought I would try and do a sketch using them but the internet has been off all day so I couldn’t get the photo up on the iPad.

I sorted out the edge pieces of the second jigsaw and mad a start.

I discovered today that I can have my steps recorded using the hearing aids! I haven’t been checking steps since I got the new phone. I walked along the river path into Dunkeld, quite achey today, hopefully not because I haven’t caught anything from Tina and Darren. More likely that I have been trying to keep doing some exercises for a few days but will continue. No pain no gain! Not very inspiring photos today.

Had a drink in Dunkeld and walked back via the orchard to the river path.

I stopped for a sit down as I was quite achy today and tried doing an out of focus pic, but planned to this time!

Going to watch The Traitors in a bit. Will finish with two photos taken by Tina today, much more interesting.
