Yesterday evening, after marking it out, I spent quite a while working on the pyrography of the tree house.
Doing the blog on the chrome book tonight and I can't rotate the pictures on it like I can in Picasa, think the later one is the right way though! I was up quite early and got on with the tree house before I was getting a lift with Tina to the hotel. I added more shading and put a minimal amount of writing on, I don't really think it needs a lot more.
I will probably varnish it and today I brought some stick on picture hangers and will put that in with it so that they can fix it up wherever they want. 
Tina took me to the hotel and I had over half an hour in there, on my own again which was really nice. I was having a shower, the pool and changing rooms are in the basement, and the lights went out! It was pitch black and I was starkers under the shower in a cubicle. A voice called out and the receptionist said that the mains power was off and would be for some time, then she wandered off again! She came back with her mobile as a torch and guided me through to the changing rooms. She was going to stand with me with the little torch, then she decided to leave her phone with me. There was emergency lighting outside round the pool and in the hotel, but the dire changing rooms didn't qualify obviously!! 
My ankle was painful today and I needed to get back for a delivery, so although I,had a list of bits to get I decided to get the bus home, take some pills and go into town again later. Tina came in soon after me, the cat food was delivered (the cats get through an awful lot) and I did a bit of hoovering with the Gtecs!! That novelty will wear off, but at the moment they are a pleasure to use. Tina said she had a meeting later in the afternoon and would give me a lift back into town. That worked out quite well as the last bus hone is at 5.55 pm. Before I went out I had a play on a little pencil box that I had bought when I first sent for the pyrography tool.
The spider plant I bought a couple of weeks ago is looking very happy, it has a little flower and a couple more buds I think. I didn't realise they flowered, know they have the baby plants on the end of runners, but hadn't seen the little white flowers before.
No plans for more wood burning tonight, did burn my finger earlier when I had an itch in my side and swung round to scratch it! Smelt of singed skin for quite a while!

  1. The tree house looks really good. They'll be so happy with it. I hope they don't read the blog! Definitely don't think it needs any more added to it, its fine as it is. Good idea putting the hangers in with, specially after my blutac incident :-)
    The pencil box has turned out well too. With the variety of different shape boxes you can get these days from craft places you have a multitude of options open to you for making different things.
    Talking of incidents, the pool lights fiasco is actually quite funny, but probably wasn't at the time. That hotel is a bit like Fawlty Towers! Makes it more interesting though.

  2. It was funny really and the young lass did check on me and made sure I could at least see to undo the padlock and get to my clothes! I can't imagine what chaos it will be when they give the changing rooms a face lift!
    Still enjoying the pyrography,so will have to think of another project for it.
