Pretty good day

I was at the dentist just before 8.30 am and no one else was waiting. They don’t unlock the door before opening time. No one else was waiting which I thought was a good sign, but the receptionist said I couldn’t be seen today. Thankfully she had an appointment on Friday and I can manage until then as it is not painful at the moment, just a bit of a nuisance. I phoned Angela when I came out as she had phoned last night to see if I wanted to go for breakfast and I had declined. She hadn’t made other plans so we did go to the garden centre, had a nice breakfast , chat, bit of a look round and then a coffee. I got some more soft top socks as some of mine are beginning to ride down now as they have become so stretched. I started adding some detail to the decorations aI made, bold rather than pretty cakes this time!
Tina had ordered a new table lamp for the dining room with daylight effect. I think it will help with the jigsaw.
I went out into the garden for a while, up behind the wall in the front garden. Some large branches had come down so that I couldn’t access the path I laid to get to the garden bin. There were also many leaves making it dangerous. I enjoyed getting physical for a while but didn’t overdo it, filled the garden bin, which will be emptied tomorrow..
I got most the pieces of the puzzle together on one area, and tried to differentiate shape and tone a bit. Doesn’t seem to be helping much!
I added detail to a few mor decorations, may start getting them onto the cakes tomorrow.
Quiet evening, don’t want to over tax the knee, or my eyes with the puzzle!

  1. You’ve been quite busy then. I hope the energetic work doesn’t cause you to suffer tomorrow 🀞 It nice to be able to get back to doing a bit though. Little and often as they say.
    The decorations look good. The cakes will definitely be colourful this year. Regardless of all that they’ll still taste really good.
    That was good of Tina to get the new light. Means you can spend even more time on the puzzle 😊 Looking at that picture you have actually got a fair bit left to do. I didn’t think it looked that bad the other night!
    Get this one finished then do something a bit easier next time πŸ˜„

  2. Making the most of a leg that bends a bit, while I can.
    The cakes will be looking quite different this year, but should taste the same!
    Managed to get about six pieces in the puzzle yesterday evening, I will get there……
