We had a good chat as we both watch Heartbeat and Strictly and I put a few pieces on her latest jigsaw. I went to the shop on the way home then got on with lunch. I was visiting Jean today as she is not very well so I walked down to see her, bought some flowers at the florist on the way. She still can’t do a lot and I think she is really struggling emotionally as well as coping with the pain after surgery. But we had a good natter and Terry made us our drinks. He is very clever and gave me the cutest little brooch, he has been carving odd pieces of firewood into gonks and mice.
Jean insisted on him giving me a lift home! I went into the garden to freshen the bird baths, lots of leaves landing in them at the moment. Took a picture of some antirrhinums that had self sewn in the path and some Michaelmas daisies which always remind me of my primary school.
I am going to try and use the little sketchbook every day, not sure how long that will last!
I made some more of my ‘healthy’ slices as I have one for breakfast now.
Got the shopping packed away and just having a relaxing evening now.
Flu jab tomorrow!
Sorry to hear the legs are giving you so much grief at nights right now. I know you say they settle down once you’re up and about, but that doesn’t help with the lack of sleep.
ReplyDeleteAt least it was slightly better weather wise for your Friday visiting. Well I assume it was up there as it was quite a nice day down here. Sounds like both Bel and Jean are struggling right now. Good job you’re still getting about to keep the visits going. Very nice of Terry to give you a lift home. I love the little mouse. He’s very good with the carving. Another one of the things I’d like to be able to do, but just can’t!
Why do Michaelmas daisies remind you of primary school?
A sketch a day is a good idea. You’ll keep it up if you decide to do it. More willpower than most 🙂
Enjoy your evening.
I went to St Michael’s primary school and on his saint day we walked to the church and wore Michaelmas daisies.
ReplyDeleteTerry really I’d good at the carving and likes making thinks out of small offcuts.
I have a not so little cat on my lap, probably isn’t great for the legs but they don’t hurt at the moment, they save it until bed time!
