This morning I wrote five letter cards before getting ready to catch the bus at ten past ten. There is a post box where I get off on the way to the studio. Donna was on her own today and I spent getting on for three hours cleaning and filling the paint pots. From there I walked into the town centre. I had a friend send me five pound for my birthday, and rather that it just fritter away in my purse I decided to get another jigsaw.
I was looking in the Pavers shop and decided to go in and see if they do wide fitting shoes. They sell Sketchers and say that some of them are quite generous. I tried on some slip ons but getting my foot in is a problem with them. Then I tried some lace ups, and loosened up they seem okay and they have memory foam insoles as well.They are supposed to be good for ankle and knee problems.
I came back home on the bus, had a cup of tea and a piece of cake with Tina and them upstairs for a while. I knew my bowl and hedgehog would be ready late afternoon and took a chance and wore the Sketchers to walk up to the studio. They were fairly comfortable and my knee hasn't been quite so painful today. I love my little hedgehog.
And of course the very funky bowl!
I was meeting Tina at the church to be a second person there while she had a wedding practice. I had about half an hour to spare so cut through to the cliff top to see the sea. Took this picture of the castle on the way.
They are getting ready for the Tour of Yorkshire stage tomorrow, the huge crane was on the cliff top ready for filming.
The support motorbikes were gathering as well.

Then went up to the church and waited for Tina. This was from sitting on a bench in the garden of remembrance.
A couple of pictures of the lovely church windows.

We drove down to the sea on the way home after the rehearsal. A lively sea again tonight.

Tina noticed this van, beats a parking ticket I guess!
Just finish with a sky picture for a change.

  1. You've had a busy day and been on your feet a fair bit today, and it sounds like you've got around reasonably well. Hopefully it's the start of the upward spiral to getting fit again.
    Love the bowl and hedgehog. The hog is cute and the bowl is really bright. Quite successful clay work. Maybe you'll do some more now you've had a good result.
    Some great pictures today. I really like the stained glass windows, and the loaf of bread on the van is funny. Hope the weather stays good for the race tomorrow so you can get down there to take some pics of that. Don't think I'd want to be filming from the basket on that crane. Bet it blows around a bit in the wind!

  2. I am feeling a bit more positive that things will improve after today. Haven't used the knee support or ankle support, so fingers crossed.
    I may just try and catch the riders along North Marine, a lot depends on the weather and how I am feeling.
