Painting and tech help!

I have been out a good bit of the day. Bel picked me up at ten and we went to Freeport. Bel only had a stick with her and the walk to the pottery place was a bit hard going for her, but we were in no hurry and she had a couple of rests on the way. It was pretty cold so we sat and had a drink before we chose out pottery to paint. Bel chose a rabbit, there was a sample one near where we were sitting and she really liked it. I chose a petal shaped plate. I had take a pencil in case I wanted to draw a design but in the end just went for abstract. Then I wanted to add a word and then the plate required a bit of embellishment!


When we had been there for our two hours Bel still had another coat of painting to do so we asked if we could stay longer, the signs say it is a two hour painting session. The lady said we could stay as long as we liked, so we had some lunch at the other side of the building then went back to the painting table. I had almost finished so found a little mini set to paint as Bel still had quite a bit to do. I just did a bit of the fine detail for her and it was about 3pm by the time we were heading back!


I had a quick cuppa with Tina when I got home and then went out to see Sarah and David again. Sarah has been talked into getting a smart phone and is really struggling with it, so went round to help get her onto the internet and get the mobile data turned off. She has someone else going to help her get to grips with it on Friday, but at least now she hasn’t got the stress of the phone gobbling up her data. Who’d have thought I would ever be giving anybody even simple advice or help with anything technical!!
I didn’t have a very good night again and it was surprisingly cold out and about today, so warming up now but feeling weary. No plans for tomorrow at the moment.

  1. It’s been a long day for you, specially considering you had a rough night as well. Maybe the activities will help you sleep tonight 🤞🏻
    I notice Bel is a tongue in the corner of the mouth person when she’s concentrating. The finished rabbit looks good though so I’m sure she’ll be chuffed when it’s fired. Your plate and miniatures are very good too. Reminiscent of oops being added to dents on cars. You don’t see that these days much. Maybe people have become better drivers, which I doubt, or it was just a ye olden days thing. It was nice the didn’t rush you to get finished. Quite nice to have a break in between painting sessions.
    You’ve been dealing with technology for quite a few years now and it’s nice that you can help others out. I’m sure she’ll be pleased that it’s finally stopped eating her data. You’re a hero 😊
    It has been cold today, but I haven’t ventured out further than to put the bin out.

  2. I meant to say Bel isn’t a tongue in the corner of the mouth person. Doh!

  3. It has seemed a long day, but quite a relaxing one. Pleased we got to do the painting and Bel enjoyed trying something different.
    We tongue sticker outers are an elite group!
