I spent the morning working in the kitchen, I had loads of stuff in brown paper bags that I had ordered from the Refill Jar Shop, and the large table had got cluttered. Also wanted to sort out the containers for the cakes which I hope to marzipan tomorrow. Why is it that you never seem to be able to find the right containers and lids?
After lunch I had another sorting job to do, the outhouse where Rob, the guy who does the lawn, keeps his mower, but I also have tools in there and put stuff in until it is hard to get in! So got that sorted and took some things down into the greenhouse. Then I hosed down the garden ornaments that were in front of the rockery. Got them dried and they are not on the shelf in the outhouse.
There is a beautiful later flower blooming in the bed by the pampas grass.
I sorted out the edge pieces of the periodic table jigsaw, a bit of an oops moment as I should have measured the board!
I sent for some skin tone pencils as much as I love my American pencils the colours for portraits are not great. So before Strictly I had another go at the drawing. Not a good likeness again but much better colours!
Watched an interesting program about Sammy Davis Jnr the other day, so listening to a cd by him now.
Pandora does look cute, but not comfortable on the back of that chair. She obviously just likes being close to you. So that’s both of you uncomfortable then 😊
ReplyDeleteYou’ve been quite active today from the sounds of it. Sorting out stuff in the kitchen is a harder task than it sounds, and humping the stone ornaments around isn’t easy either. You’ll be knackered tonight, and achey too.
Definitely a bigger bit of board needed for the puzzle. Thought you were saving that one for after the op. I like the latest drawing. You’re too hard on your own work!
It was one of those days with not much to show for it but one that gives you a feeling of satisfaction because you have got around to things that needed doing!
ReplyDeletePandora is in the basket ai bought this evening, maybe because it is chilly and she is curled up inside.
