Also managed to get a butterfly sitting on the Michaelmas daisies.
I did listen to a short story and made a start on the edge of the round jigsaw before lunch. The post came and the new wrist supports I ordered, the extra large ones arrived. Very quick service and they looked great, one problem, not big enough, again......have tried to contact the company but no reply just yet. Tina had said she needed to go to Aldbrough again if I wanted to go along. I got the drawing from yesterday framed as she was seeing the vicar of the church.
Tina had to go out for a while so I did some baking. I had decided to make cheese scones for the volunteers that are helping to tidy the drive. They are worried about sharing so I have bagged up bags with two buttered scones in each ready for the morning.
Made the buns as well in case someone doesn’t like cheese scones.
I went into the garden again for a bit while Tina was at a meeting, then we went off to Aldbrough again. Tina said that the vicar was delighted with the drawing. We called at Mappleton on the way back, so a grew pictures from there. The farmer was ploughing so plenty of gulls enjoying the pickings.
Pretty skies tonight. We decided on take away for tea as it was seven by this time. The chippies were all closed except Sullivan’s and the queue there was too long so Tina got chicken and chips. It was dark by the time we had eaten so we put the outside light on so I could collect up the tools and put the fox food out. Got the scones buttered and packed before heading upstairs. Watching the second part of Des now.
Quite a busy day, but productive. The garden always needs something doing to it! The crocuses do look nice which makes keeping it all going worthwhile. Probably doesn’t feel like it at the time though! Not really seen any butterflies in my garden, but compared to yours it is a little sparse with flora, so I don’t think they have much reason to visit me.
ReplyDeleteThe drawing looks great framed, I bet she was chuffed to bits with it. Speedy too, from drawing to frame to delivery extra quick, and free 😊
Mmmmm scones. I might be tempted to do gardening for scones.....not really, I hate gardening! Make it 6 instead of 2 and throw a bun in and I might consider it 😊
Another evening trip out, it’s becoming regular now. Really like the first pic of the 5. Some great skies in the others too.
Takeaway to round the day off, perfect! Shame the new wrist supports weren’t a better fit or that would have made it an even better day.
It. Has felt good to be a bit more active, hopefully I will be up to continuing in the garden tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThose frames were a real bargain, I just had the two, I framed the poem in one and the second was just right for the drawing. They were only a pound each on a bargain stall at a garden centre.
The volunteers are arriving at about 8.30 am in the morning.
