Out and about.

 Couldn’t see the hill from the house today, very heavy mist, the heat arrived though!

Tina had appointments today, a hospital appointment in Perth this morning and a massage in Blairgowrie this afternoon so I went out with her. There was a park near the hospital so I took my sketchbook but it was really just grass and a children’s play area. 

Walking back to the hospital I had a sit on this great bench.
The hospital is quite high up, views from them main entrance.

We came home for a while before we set off for Blairgowrie. By then it was pretty hot and I had a very painful hip so I didn’t do much wandering. I took a bag of material to The Nest, the shop that sells unwanted art and craft stuff very cheaply. I bought a couple of bit and will add pics of them tomorrow. I liked these hanging baskets, effective having so many together.
I settled on a bench in a small park to wait for Tina, this decorated bear was there.


We had lunch before we came home. We watched some tennis. Tina has gone to play bowls and I have put the bin out and watered the pots and bonsai plants.
I will finish with pictures from a friend who went to a wild bird reserve.

  1. That is a bit of a mist this morning, nothing like that here, but as you say, the heat arrived and it’s still here!
    I don’t blame you going out for the ride whenever you get chance. It definitely beats gardening, especially in this heat!
    That looks a nice park. You could have drawn some trees 😊
    That’s a great bench. It actually looks comfortable, was it? The hospital really is quite high, but I suppose it’s just so unusual for me as everything this way is so flat ☹️
    I like the hanging baskets too. They make a good display with there being so many. They have some different ideas up there and seem to take a lot more pride in their surroundings. Wish they did here. The bear is really good too. It reminds me of the puffins around Hornsea. Is it just a one off?
    After a very warm day, and evening, feet up with the tennis is a good idea.
    The bird paddling in the water looks happy. At least it had cool feet 😂

  2. The bench was comfortable.
    It may be football tonight as England are playing Ghana, I may just have split loyalties!
    I think there maybe a bear locally, will have to try and get a map of where they are.
    Definitely not doing much else today……
