bloggers, weather, life, printing

I've just added another new blogger to my reading list.  I ought to weed a few out, especially those that are decidedly defunct and inaccessible..but....

We've just had two dry sunny days...loads of washing done and dried,house aired and cleaned.

However we're both a bit stretched and "growly"...

It is a relief to see more daylight at both ends of each day,and we have a full moon coming up, which often causes restless sleep..Moon children both of us!

Apparently it is a special moon of a sort not seen since 1886,the year my maternal grandfather was born.

Pirate has picked up the baton of establishing an 80+ age group for track racing...it is a struggle, even though there are enough riders...and four more at least to add to the group next year.
 If you offer the events at the National Masters Championships they'll enter...the authorities say,if they enter we'll run it...and in the latter case with no promise of an event,they'll give up, thereby scuppering the chances of the next group of up and comings....
It would help if the people in authority would actually reply to emails and return phone calls...

Meanwhile Pirate is feeling mentally smashed due to the stress...luckily there are willing youngsters (early 70s !!) to back him up and give assistance.

I'm gathering braveness totry a new technique with the linoprinting...using caustic soda !!!...Glasses, apron and Marigolds at the ready,of course!

Everything in this post seems to have an element of danger! Take care with the caustic.

I thought I'd clean out the old list. But looking it over, I remembered them. Some were so dear. What happened to them. Some have died. I couldn't do it. Like old letters, I guess.

Marigolds? Please explain!
