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.

Walking and sketching

 I will start with a picture from this morning while I was sitting my chair.

I went out quite early to remove the fleece from the plants and it was really chilly, but the day warmed up as it was sunny. I did some of the jigsaw before I went out for a walk. I had decided to walk into Dunkeld and then on to the path behind the cathedral and on to the river path. Some photos, one of which I was particularly pleased with as it looks 3D.

I had a drink in Dunkeld before walking home. When I got home Darren had finished the jigsaw.

I went out and did a sketch of the church, sitting in the churchyard.

I will finish with an evening picture from my chair!

Lovely evening outing

 Yesterday evening I worked on the jigsaw and again for a little while this morning, soon be finished I think.

The begonia with the large leaves has flowered.

The bonsai trees are about to lose their leaves for this year, hopefully they will survive a Scottish winter.

A few days ago we covered the flower bed under the hedge as the men were coming to cut the hedge back. They came today so will be able to move the fleece now. The hedge had got very high so it being cut back will men more light comes into my room which will benefit the plants.

Went out with Darren this afternoon as he wanted some storage boxes and I wanted canes and a reed screen to make a start on a bee house. Darren got some storage boxes, the best I could get were these bendy canes!

Tina is feeling a bit better so suggested we went out for a bit. We took stools and I had a sketch book, Tina took a book. We went to a loch that is off the beaten track and were there alone. I had been there once before and really liked the little abandoned hut and wanted to draw it. This time I did, it was a lovely evening and I enjoyed sketching and then a short walk along the loch.

We caught up with Throw down when we got in, now it’s feet up and blog.

Varied day

 I walked to the garden group along the river path. The amount of leaves, probably thousands of even millions it got me thinking, all the leaves on the ground and still leaves on the trees. Just weird thoughts that came into my head.

There is a tub with flowers in t the start of the bridge and I spotted a bee going into one of the antirrhinums so should for an age with phone ready for it to come out. I am delighted with my photos.

The gardening group was good today, I was asked to get the nettles and weeds out do the wold flower area. I am hoping that they will let me work on it again, it seems the most neglected part of the garden. Got a lift home with Betty again which was nice.

After lunch I didn’t go to the knit and natter group as we were getting very low on groceries so went off with Darren to Perth, we did food shopping and looked at storage boxes as Darren is reorganising his work room. Took some pics from the car as the trees are beginning to turn.

Tina and I at in the garden for a while, it has been a nice day. The larger sunflower is losing its petals now but the small one is opening.

I did a bit of the embroidery in daylight as it is usually embroidery day!

Nothing planned for this evening. May do a bit of the jigsaw.

Nothing doing!

 A very user day today, bit of pottering and household stuff. We did  fair bit to the jigsaw.

When I went out to the bin another tiny spider hd made a web attached to the shed and not likely to be there long before somebody walks through it. It was just about to secure  fly when I passed!

We have a lot of recipe books, well, not nearly as many s we did have, but still enough, and not one had a recipe for bread and butter pudding, so internet it was! Didn’t follow the recipe faithfully but it tasted okay!

Watched an episode of Throw Down with Tina and watched a bit of the Traitors again with her as she is feeling a bit better today and catching up with tv.

Strictly results tonight so that will be interesting.

I will finish with two colleges curtesy of Google photos, one five years gao when Tina and I had a couple of days in Scarborough. The other one six years go with memories of being by the sea!
