Small steps

 I gave the wall a second coat of paint this morning....you can go off the idea of wall paper with a raised pattern!! What had appeared to be completely covered yesterday... wasn't!!

It was still wet cold and windy when I took the bus into town...and the bus was late !! 

This is my fortnightly treat...lunch in Waterstones bookshop café before French conversation in the library.

It is a lively group and I'm gradually using more and more French.  We discuss all sorts of things! We have been working through the lyrics of a song "Aux Champs Elysées"...and discussing about the words used, what they mean, how they are used, which ones are a little archaic but fit the poetry of the song....

I could do with more discussion....and more French!!

Home again, I moved my 2012 quilted patchwork hanging that I made while travelling in NZ....I think that it looks good against the new colour!

I like the color! Rich, vibrant, warm, cheerful. I like the hanging too, and it really shows nicely against the paint.

French song lyrics are a fun way to practice the language!

The yellow wall is looking great and the dark color of the wall hanging displays well against the yellow. Nice contrast.
