Bus to Hull

The shopping came yesterday so I caught the bus into Hull at nine. I had no particular reason to go into the city but it made a change, even though the weeds were waving as I left! There is a new piece of modern sculpture at the station.

I went into St Stephens to Boots and got some Clinique on offer. I walked through the city and although my knee hurt a bit managed to get to the funky bridge!

The weather was good but windy, the clouds darkened now and again but soon cleared.

I have no idea where I managed to take this, but will post it anyway as like the bridge it is sort of funky!

I did have tea and apple pie at a cafe and headed back into town. In Smiths I was accosted by a man who was doing a book signing, he asked if ai read crime fiction. I said that I did if it wasn’t too gory, he assured me his wasn’t! He was selling his fourth book but also had copies of the previous three. So I bought the first one and will give it a try.

I got home a bit before two and had a sit down and cuppa. Mind you I had been sitting for over an hour on the bus and had been dozing!! I went out in the front garden for half an hour or so to pull or cut back some of the bigger weeds. These lilies were there when we moved in and are just opening.

After the link up with America I sewed a few squares of patchwork together before getting tea. Then after tea I went out into the back garden, tidied the store out so that there is nothing in the way to get broken when the mower is being used on Monday. Then I walked round the garden. This tall spike is near the back and the sea holly at the side and just forming. Even lovelier when it turns blue.

This plant is in the walled garden, one of my successful boot sale buys.

I have sewn four more rows of squares now, will press them and sew them together tomorrow.

A long episode of Casualty to enjoy this evening!
