So pleased to see GLO back with us. Hopefully, your pooter will cease to misbehave.
Here at Castle Cravat, life has pretty much returned to normal after our week in Cornwall. My Art Group recommended operations while we were away so, this was my first week back. As usual, I'm doing something different. During the Summer break I saw an article in a painting and drawing magazine about decorating wooden spoons. I purchased half a dozen spoons fo less than a £1 each. I have the acrylic paints and, all that was left to purchase was a can of clear varnish. Have to say that even I was quite impressed with my first effort!
It's not finished but, it's getting their. Already have another Group Member who is talking about me doing many more and selling them at the sale of work that the craft group that she is a member of. We'll see, it's early days. Have some more ideas. While in St Ives, we visited a gallery which featured paintings on small(ish) flat stones. I may buy some from the local garden centre and give that a go.
Picked up our new car on Monday afternoon and, we're happy with that. OH had a medical appointment yesterday. She's diabetic and, once a year she has to visit the clinic where they examine her eyes. This involves putting drops in which, prevent her driving afterwards. Further, she was out with friends last evening which meant that, I had to act as chauffeur again. Today, I have an early morning dental check-up and, I'm out with friends tonight.
Tomorrow, I resume hearing Education Appeals in Birmingham with OH having her own series of hearings on Friday. I will spend Friday morning wlking with the Action Heart Group.
So life returns to normal.
