Iffy weather

I haven’t been so active today, the leg was painful over night and still not happy today. I fed the birds as usual, lots of activity in the garden today. The blackbirds are back which is good there were magpies and crows plus the usual pigeons and the odd seagull. squirrels scampering about and doing their best to empty the bird feeders! There were small birds flitting about as well.
I did walk to Bels for a visit as we didn’t meet last week due to the storm and this Friday she has family visiting. Bel does jigsaws as well and has lent me one. Probably not ne I would have chosen and looks like it could be another challenging one.
I did some more of the foil etch picture. It is really difficult to keep to the lines with the wooden cocktail sticks. I need to find a better stylus replacement before I start another one,
I have done some reading, the Sherlock Holmes yarn, it is good but because I am tired a lot of the time I keep nodding off!
The shredder/grater thing is not great except for cheese. I have a long painful history of grating myself and it takes a while. This little gadget does it fine and fast,so worth it just for that.
It has been a grey and occasionally wet day, autumn has arrived. Quiet evening now and maybe a bit more reading and nodding off!

  1. Sounds like you’ve managed a bit even though the leg is punishing you. The birds are happy, which in turn makes you happy, and you also got out to see Bel. Not a very long itinerary of things done, but better than none I suppose. The jigsaw she lent you will probably make you regret going as it looks like it’ll be a stinker with all that brown! Plus you won’t be able to throw it out the window if it’s not yours ๐Ÿ˜Š
    The foil pic looks like it be really nice when it’s done. How about a small knitting needle as a stylus?
    I know exactly what you’re like with cheese graters. You’re not safe with anything that’s sharp! If that gadget stops you grating down to the bone, then it’s well worth it!
    Enjoy reading and nodding off ๐Ÿ˜Š

  2. Yes, I thought that the brown areas on the puzzle would be a challenge.
    Small knitting needle could work, will sort one out.
    Staying awake so far, just about!
