Catching up!

The knee is being difficult at the moment, but positivity is the plan and I am feeling quite cheerful. A few short walks today, early on to post some letters, then along Newbegin to The Green Owl to have breakfast with Angela. It had been closed for a few weeks for refurbishment and was looking very inviting inside. We had an enjoyable meal and a lovely chat as always. By the time I came home the rain had set in, the garden gets wetter and wetter.
I decided to try and push the wooden jigsaw closer together, not a good plan as about a fifth of the pieces just came apart! I did get it made again but now worry how I can glue it as the pieces are not interlocking. Maybe I will buy some story glue as I think anything else will just lift the pieces.
This afternoon I was back to 
The Green Owl again to meet Sher. This time O just had a drink while she had a sandwich. She got me a little key chain decoration and a lovely pair of earrings, both made by local crafters.
This evening I thought I would have a little play with the soft pastels that Tina gave me yesterday. May have a go at colouring with the felt tips later.
Going up to the pottery studio tomorrow when I hope to finish the candlestick I have been painting.

  1. Glad you’re still keeping positive, even with the knee trying to derail you. At least you got out for a few shorts walks. I think breakfast out is always nice. You get to eat a nice meal to start the day, and you don’t have to cook or wash up. Perfect 😊
    I like your gifts from Sher. The earrings are definitely you.
    I think the rose looks really good. I think they are one of the hardest flowers to draw, and pastels certainly don’t make it easier!
    I hope it’s not too much of a struggle to get to the studio tomorrow.

  2. The earrings are lovely, maybe I will wear them tomorrow.
    I should be okay, the bus takes me most of the way, and got to keep moving whether the knee is painful or not.
