Plenty to do indoors today....the cards are coming along well..and I did another half hour on the turbo!
at 5.30 it was a beautiful morning...birds shouting about it, clear sky....
Then at 6am the first hailshower landed ..and it was rinse and repeat all day !!!
Yesterday I did my first gallery duty day.
Travelling by buses....no point using the car if you have a bus pass and not a lot to carry!
I makes for a long day ..but it makes sense.
I topped up my cards...but found that I was down to one which is a view of Arran through a Culzean courtyard archway. and the chook cards had all gone!
Both were remedied this afternoon after I'd done half an hour on the turbo...I'd waited in for a delivery while it was sunshine and showers...and it was getting windier and colder!
View from the turbo...with bread trays protecting the garden from feline attention!
Not a lot done today apart from writing the backs of the cards ...."original handprinted design....website address... made in Scotland"
A bit of tidying around...inside not out as it is turning cold again and it was showery this morning. It is even cold in the greenhouse, where only one broad bean has started to germinate!!
The sunset was spectacular....This hardly does it justice.
The lights in the middle are Prestwick runway lights.
A positive day today...washing done, and the clothes got four good drying hours on the line in the breeze.
yoghurt made. (and I've just remembered that I need to go back downstairs to get the tub out of the machine to cool down..there is always something!!)
printing done...half a dozen of the new Arches block and a dozen of the Castle as there was only one left before the Smiddy Gallery reopened. Some of my cards eere sold yesterday, but I don't know which four.
The footfall and the day's sales are posted on a Whatsapp thread for all the group.
I started writing the backs of the cards after supper....ten left to do tomorrow.
Duolingo to do, a few pages to read ( having read the prequel "Vianne" I am rereading the rest of the series that started with Chocolat, by Joanne Harris)
but first that yoghurt!!
Today dawned wet and windy...again...not much incentive to leave my warm and comfortable nest!! Apart from the need for breakfast!!
I thought I'd managed to sell my tv today...but he hadn't measured the space where it was to go....at least he was genuine, not like some of the usual timewasters. Then after lunch friends called by.
They live in the NorthEast of England now...but I last saw him in Cardiff...over twenty years ago? and I'd never met his wife who is from Mexico! Although we have been "chatting" on fb for years and watching each others photos!
The weather redoubled its efforts after they left...so half an hour on the turbo and create a new block for printing cards.
I walked out at seven this morning into a heavy hail shower!! throughout the day it has swung from hail showers and bright sunshine!!
The lesson went well...fraught with worry that I'm making mistakes but then finding that I get most right on each section.
What I lack is confidence in actually speaking...not just remembering the different tenses...despite ddoing the extra assignments ok...and missing the honework off the website. I must download a few of those before they delete them as it is the end of term, and practice.
I'm wondering if I should sign on for next term as I know that I'd probably miss four of the nine weeks.
Messaging with a friend about this she passed on details of U3a French conversation classes less than ten mikes away....I've emailed them...I need to know how long their waiting list is for a class place....
We'll see...
Last minute additions today, of stock I had replaced at the Dancing Thistle. These are all bar one at the Smiddy Gallery now.
Here's hoping that tomorrow will be a good day....without today's sharp cold showers!!
