I went down when Darren came home and Blue was on the tower, I think Charlie was using the scratching post on there earlier, so looks like it will become popular.

A walk it the (muddy) park
Tiredness has caught up with me a bit so last night I started bees waxing the drawers of the cello cupboard, not that you can really call it a cupboard, they are very little drawers! A bit of a long term project to do it all and a few tins of beeswax methinks!
This morning I took a walk turning right out of the drive for a change. I did a couple more left turns onto Eastgate, some nice looking buildings along there.
One house had a great tree house in the garden, bet their children loved it, although I think it is old and probably not played on much now.
There were several entrances to the park, it is like a heath, very popular with dog walkers, although not that many around when I walked across. I can see them in the morning from my bedroom window.
It was very waterlogged in places and pretty muddy.
I thought this was a great tree, I know, like the weirdest things!
The next two pics are of the church and our house from the park. The church is almost screened out of the picture and the french doors on the house are the living room.
The men came and filled the dip in the hallway ready for new flooring. They covered it with some ply to keep the cats off, I asked if it would be okay and they said 'it isn't glue, it is just concrete and it will be fine'. It wasn't, the ply dipped down and made a bit of a mess of the surface, but it should be okay, have removed the ply now so that it can dry by tomorrow and is hopefully hard enough now not to add paw prints to the damage!
I went out this afternoon and managed to hand my application form for volunteering into the charity shop, but as I went on, aiming to go to the leisure centre and the surgery I realised that the pain in my knee and ankle were too bad today and I needed to get home and take the weight off.

Darren drove us over to Scarborough this evening to collect the last bits from the house in Woodall Avenue, was nice to get the chance to say goodbye to it. Then we went to Scalby Manor and had a carvery meal before I drove us home. I am tired and very achy, so not doing much else this evening.

It must be nice exploring as you are and getting to photograph new things. Some nice buildings there, and the park looks nice too. Should be even better in the spring and summer with a bit of colour added. Yes, it is a weird tree. Looks like it wouldn’t take much for it to blow down!
ReplyDeleteThe cello is looking really good. It will be stunning once you get it all polished. Not an easy task at all, but it’ll be well worth the time. That was a a very good buy.
Sorry that the leg is playing you up. You have done a lot in the past few weeks though, probably way too much. Think you need a bit of down time to relax before Christmas hits!
I bet it was sad to go into the house in Scarborough for the last time, although going for a meal was a good way to end the day.
It is interesting seeing new things, and finding my way around. Not really a big place at all but it takes a while to get the layout into your head.
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit strange going back and Darren drove round the sea front on the way home, that is such a familiar route, nice to have one last trip round
I do love the cello, one of the most impractical things I have bought, but I just fell for it!
