Just washday and pottering around sorting...and a walk after lunch.
Just a quiet day not seeing anyone.
I'll carry on writing and posting letters....having something tangible in the hand means far more than an email on a screen
I stopped on the way to the gallery to post a letter in Maybole... now it has a bypass and lorries on the A75 on their way to the ferry are no longer shaking the high street buildings apart... literally.... there is hope..
Today was my last gallery duty of the year... thankfully....I don't really enjoy "peopling" !!
Then a big shop ( for me) not because of the holidays, just a normal 2-3 weekly one.
I'd let some of the basics run down as well. Normally I keep one in use and one on the shelf...and when the one on the shelf comes out, time to refill the shelf ..except that I hadn't!
Back home before Christmas 6 so I missed the worst of the jams...
Time to light a candle for Solstice.
Think of those not with us....we used to celebrate every one, now it is four I've seen by myself. And a light for the future.
Pirate...born in the year of the Hare....and I've always felt, even before knowing him, that every day one is seen is a good day.
A day out with friends today, I drove down to Alloway and went with her in her VW campervan to the Velodrome in Glasgow.
The Women's Track Fund session was on, last one of this year, from 12.00-15.00...all ages from about 8-68!! The coach sorted them by age/ ability and they had riding, and training races and all great fun.
Free drinks and cakes, WTF mugs and t-shirts selling and as spot prizes.
I took a dozen cycling themed mugs that we had been given over the years and they are selling them for the group funds. (More Stuff out of the door to a good home!!)
Not good news about the crown..it was just a cap..so not enough height of tooth to put a peg in for a new crown....so end of January he will smooth it off and a new tooth will be added to my plate. The root is behaving so it can stay as long as it does!
Apart from that, I found a new café...called Puck....which is the thing that the coffee grounds are pressed into for an espresso machine. It is where the kitchen shop used to be....a marvellous place, source of kitchen and pottery tools!!
Work at home carries on with sorting and reducing.
I know....we used to ride whatever the weather, almost... shopping, commuting, racing, training...or just for fun! Walking as well....
Now I don't have to.....
I still use the bus as much as possible...the car gets its regulation once a week outing to make sure everything is working ok, and not seizing up!!
As ever the last place you lose any excess weight from....is the first place it arrives!
I do not want to buy any new clothes!!
Good...got a load of cards written..then went on the bus to Ayr to post them.
I had to buy a stamp for one to France...just over double a first class letter stamp....the rest I already had stamps.
That is practically all of the "family" cards done.
Just after 3.30 pm...
Back on the bus after a cuppa.... mistake... don't get the school commute bus.....not good.
I made a large batch of tomato sauce before supper. Very good!!
Then bad....sitting down to supper one of my porcelain tooth crowns came off....good thing I didn't swallow it!!
A down day today to recover from all that socialising!!
It has been cold wet and windy all day...so just pootling around indoors all day. Doing lots of nuffin'!
Card list compiled....I have enough cards made to do two thirds....but I'm marking some to get greetings messages ..others a fb. posting. Some you want to have a card. Others you know that greetings sent any way will be good.
Tomorrow will be finish card writing, vacuum clean the floors downstairs, and get cards posted. Plus decluttering some clothes drawers.....
I checked my work in the Dancing Thistle on the way to French conversation on Friday
It is rather squashed in with other makers...but she has only just moved in to her new premises and hasn't renovated the whole lot yet.
Then the group meeting in an upstairs meeting room in the library..
Most of the French group were there...and a few of the Italian group..and a couple from the German group.....and plenty of food and drink donations!! And lots of discussion and fun!!
Today I had gallery duty... mainly family groups coming in, so not many sales...but enough to make it worth it.
Then the local cycling club end of season get together.
Pre meal drinks in an old church turned into a pub...very noisy...which didn't make conversation easy.
Then a good meal in the Indian restaurant next door. Still quite noisy...we were a group of 19!! But quite an enjoyable evening, although not really my "thing"...but it was good to have been invited to join them, as I'm not getting out on the bike much, let alone being fit enough to do that!!
