Quiet day again

The snow is still on the ground and some pavements still icy.  Although we had a lot of sunshine it did not thaw a lot and the temperature has dropped quickly this evening and it is very likely to freeze. I did get to the nearest shop for some more cat food and something for my lunch. I did some chores this morning and iced the two extra small cakes. Didn’t visit Bel today as she said that her drive was icy. I put some hedgehog food, some was eaten yesterday but it has become very hit and miss. I picked a twig from the garden to sketch today.
Terry came to collect me so that I could see Jean and it has been three weeks. She is doing fairly well but still getting very tired. Terry is so clever and i now have some great earrings and a broach that he carved.
I did ask him if he thought he could carve me some printing blocks. He took some photos of the bag and says he will give it a go.
He fetched me home and that is when we could tell how drastically the temperature was dropping. The veggie box hadn’t arrived when I got home so I was watching out for the delivery. A car came down the drive and I thought that was it, it drove past the front door so then I thought is was gong to park, probably someone going to choir practice. But it drove on and then turned out, how rude! The veggie box came soon after and I took a pic this week.
The shopping arrived and I am presuming these roses are for me as they aren’t back until Monday.
Rosie called in this evening on her way to choir practice. She has said she will get me some coloured fondant at Tesco which will be good, I can the get on with decorating the cakes.

  1. Glad you didn’t go out walking too much as I’m guessing it’s pretty treacherous out there. Really nice of Terry to pick you up and bring you back. His carving is fantastic. The brooch and earrings are beautiful. Such a clever man. It’ll be great if he can carve you some blocks.
    I think the car driver that decided to use your driveway as a turning circle had a total cheek. I’d stand in front of them and make them back all the way around and out 😂
    The veggie box is always good. Looks very eatable. Some good subjects in there for skating too 🙂 Does todays sketch count as an indoor or outdoor drawing?
    A little good news about the hedgehogs. I hope they don’t disappear totally.

  2. Terrys carving is great, he makes loads and gives them away. I am not complaining!
    I don’t expect considerate behaviour from people parking here, but that driver took the biscuit!
    Almost an outdoor sketch!
