Visit day

This morning I went to see Bel, she had enjoyed Christmas having dinner with her neighbours who keep an eye on her and talk to her every day. She also got some nice gifts, mostly edible, but she is disciplined and limits herself to two chocolates a day. Sadly I don’t have that sort of discipline, when they are opened they are begging to be eaten! I walked long to Number Nine to give them the money for Tina’s calendar. I saw Hayley and she said she would put it with the other money as it is for a men’s mental health charity. The calendar is partly naked men!
Before lunchI started sorting through my wrapping paper. I have enough Christmas wrapping paper to last the next few years, I should have checked before I bought any more! After lunch I walked to Jeans via the sea front. I took a couple of the waves as I love it when they is an off shore wind as the spray looks like horses manes. Didn’t catch it too well.
I had taken a picture of the folly earlier.

Jean was in fairly good spirits but is still having a lot of pain in her back and is frustrated not be be well enough to go to church. Terry showed me some of his drawings, he is a very talented man.
I have spent some time on the jigsaw, which is taking shape, a tricky one, but in a good way.
I picked up some sewed on my walk a couple of days ago so that was the sketch subject!
May try to get to the pottery tomorrow as the families painted pieces are ready.

  1. A varied day for you again. Glad Bel enjoyed Christmas. It’s good she has nice neighbours. Like you, I have the willpower of a goldfish, so chocolates wouldn’t last long here either 🙂 It’s a real shame Jean can’t make it to the church as I know it’s a big part of her life. She must really miss it ☹️
    What’s the betting you forget where you put the wrapping appear and end up buying even more next year?!
    I like your pics of the waves. The colours are very reminiscent of old slide film. Rather be on the shore on a day like that though. Another unusual sketch. Looks very realistic to me. That book is going to be so good when it’s finished. Then you can start another one 🙂
    I hope all the pottery made it through the firing 🤞

  2. I have a wrapping paper box, which I went through yesterday, but it didn’t stop me getting more this year, or I should say last year!
    It was bitterly cold out and last night the big thick fluffy hood came out rather lighter ne I have been using.
    Still a few pages left in the original sketch book, it has been good getting into the habit of using it daily.
