Damage limitation!

I started to dissemble the clock this morning, I actually broke it down even more that in the picture and started the assembly from the start, this time with the addition of glue!
As the morning was reasonable weather I went to the shop after I had made an appointment to see a doctor in the afternoon. Then I put three plants into each of the tubs in the front garden. No pics as they don’t show up much yet as there is a conifer in each tub. Walked along to see Sher for a while, Mondays are quiet in Hornsea so we were able to have a chat. I like this artists paintings a lot, they are very expensive but I was interested to hear that he hopes to do some sessions at the shop.  Will start saving up as I would like to attend one!
Then back to the clock, got it all together and working. Not sure if the video will run on the blog, but if not it will be a picture! One of its home for now as well. Correction, can’t work out how to find the video!
The pendulum works which is attracting Pandora’s attention! So it may end up in the bin yet……
The leg has been bad today so I left with loads of time to spare to make my way to the surgery. Have to rest a few times but made it okay and saw a very nice lady doctor and will try being back on codeine and paracetamol. She mentioned exercises most of which I do occasionally so will endeavour to do them more regularly. She hasn’t put the new meds on repeat, but if it is helping I can message her and she will sort that out.
Very lovely flower bed on the way there.
As I am in fiddly craft mode I opened up the cello pack. Have made the stand!
Spent some of last night in the rocking chair, may give it a try for the night tonight.
Should have said that Tina kindly came down to the surgery so I didn’t have to walk back in stages!

  1. I think you’ve done very well to get the clock back together. Glue sounds like a sensible idea to me too! It really does look on the fireplace. Much better than actually ended up in the fire 😊 Nail Pandora to the floor, only one foot though, no point in being cruel 😂
    Good idea starting the cello straight away while you’re in the mood. The clock was good practice, both times…….sorry 😊
    Artist sessions sounds right up your street, and if he actually paints stuff you like that’s even better. Definitely worth going to.
    Getting to see the doctor was good. You’re honoured to get an appointment so quick. Hopefully the pills will work better than the last lot. Can’t be any worse I suppose. Good that she’s making it easy for you to get a repeat if they do the job.
    That is a nice flower bed. They do seem to spend more on nice displays up north.
    Can’t say sleeping in a rocking chair sounds wonderful, but if it works then that’s good. Worth a try at least.

  2. Not a bad day, maybe get a few more plants in tomorrow but will see how the knee is. Got through to the surgery relatively quickly and the receptionist was quite helpful. Long may that continue!
    The flower beds and baskets are well tended in the town.
    I was pleased to rescue the clock. The pendulum goes fast, it is quite mesmerising!
