Lovely sunset again yesterday, won't be any pictures tomorrow though as it is cloudy this evening.

I haven't been giving the full picture the last couple of days as I painted a plate for Darren's birthday.
He likes French fancies and I got some of them too. I will take another picture tomorrow of the plate with an actual cake on!! I also decorated the Simnel cake I had made. I had packed all the icing equipment so worked with roll out icing so that he had a cake to celebrate his special day.
We celebrated yesterday evening as Darren was leaving for work early today and Tina is out this evening.
So Darren now knows our long kept secret surprise as he has seen the tickets for us to attend the British Grand Prix weekend.
This morning Sandy picked me up and I went to the studio for a few hours. I cleaned and filled all the paint pots and did a bit of art work on a teapot for a customer. Had a sandwich with Sandy and then walked home. My knee was very painful in the night and has not been good today, I am hoping it will settle down. I used the strong knee support today. The ankle on the other hand is doing fine!!
This afternoon Tina called up to say that my trees had arrived so I did go down and fill the new pots and planted them up. Very nice pots, looks like they just have a stick in each at the moment!
I have done a bit more to the jigsaw and watch an episode of Morse this afternoon. Broadchurch this evening, only two more episodes I think. Meeting Brian and Hazel for lunch tomorrow which will be good.

  1. Darren looks so happy having is picture taken, but you have to suffer those things on your birthday :-) I can imagine he was really chuffed with his surprise weekend away present, it'll be a great thing to go to. How long did the French fancies last on the posh plate? Not long I bet. All in all a good birthday, apart from having to have a picture taken :-)
    Sounds like you need to rest up a bit for a few days, after lunch date tomorrow obviously. You've had a busy time recently so you're bound to have a lot of aches and pains.
    Like the new pots and trees.

    1. Darren never likes his photo taken, don't catch him often!!The French fancies hadn't been opened earlier, may have been now, but it is a big cake as well!! Not planning on doing much tomorrow apart from going out to lunch, won't do the stairs any more than I have to either. Fingers crossed the new trees will take okay.
