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!
It looks like it will be a wet and windy weekend so I doubt that I will be going anywhere.
It is lovely reading about all the family gatherings...and the Kent Possees keep in touch..I have found out what two of mine are up to...50% success...but they all have their own lives. I'd like a little more contact though.

I know the feeling. I keep telling myself that it is enough that they are happy in their chosen lives. Sometimes it is enough.
What a fabulous mish mash of garden sheds you have in your serviceable back yard …..is the little one on the right and the one next to it with the greeny blue side yours or next doors? Do people in that area ‘sit outside at all’ or would that be done closer to the back door?
A very wet and windy weekend in store. Good to see you have weighted down those bread trays with bricks!
no, they are all mine!..not the one to the left of the shot, that is a neighbour's garage.
sitting out is usually nearer the back door..unkess you have a "sitooterie"
they all expect me to visit them.
So glad the cards have been a success! This Storm Dave isn't doing much down our way. We've got gray skies and cool temperatures but no rain.
That is good at least.
Looks like you have alot to do in the wet weather which is typical of Spring. Hopefully your family gets into gear to visit you for a change.
The garden looks terrific. Using trays to protect plants is a good idea. I always hate losing plants so any protection I can provide is important.
Oh how I'm discovering that feeling. I'm not forgotten; I have the sympathy cards, whats app condolences, mother day card, birthday cards, flowers, now an easter egg and "you know, you're welcome to come up any time"
But at the end and beginning of each day there's just me.
Now that is a busy (and no doubt productive) little space down there! You must be full of plant plans going into your springtime.
full of plans awaiting some warmer weather!

it is hard sometimes
Fresca here—not blogging myself but keeping up with you and a few others—I love to see your artwork and your other goings-on.
I have a “borrowed” child—Marz came to me at 20–now she’s in another city, studying history, with a romantic partner—and I get to experience that parental kind of happiness for her —plus sadness she’s not actively much in my life anymore
good to hear that Marz is doing well. Yes it is sad when children drift away..they have their own lives.
I enjoy the bus, it feels real and connected. Loads of people around me turn their noses up at public transport.
it looks like more people are using the buses now. Here it is free for -22 and 60+ anyway, but there are still those who wont...yet.
I like bus and train teavel..more social, but you don't have to socialise!!
