Great to hear you're warm and snug Gibel, that'll be a load off your mind. You'll be wearing your bikini tomorrow!
Oh dear KG, I bet you wish you hadn't started. Hope it's soon sorted and not too expensive.
Caroline, hadn't realised that Nathan DG has a new book out, will eagerly await a price drop! Good to hear that there's some action being taken about the dogs, will be interested to see what happens.
It seems ages since this morning, actually yesterday morning as I write this. This was my day:
Couldn't get to sleep last night, too much stress from early in the day. Had a rude awakening by next door's dog going ballistic, the window cleaner was here again. Chucked on joggers and sweatshirt, opened up access to the back, made a cup of tea and took it back to bed to read for a while. It was freezing cold but sunny out, there was a really hard frost and the pavements looked icy. Didn't get out for a walk and didn't do any Pilates today. Was hoping for a pleasant day after the stress I'd been put under in the previous two.
Bread supply was very low so baked the part baked baguettes I had in the cupboard and made a tuna sandwich, put the rest of the bread in the freezer as it's not particularly nice the next day. Spent quite a while changing my Tesco order for tomorrow, I need quite a few things.
Art class Zoom lesson started at 1.30, I thought we'd be doing some drawing today but the teacher was talking us through perspective. It's something that doesn't come easily to me, in fact all the lines and vanishing points make me feel quite agitated. She went through our reference photos and advised us, mine was of Valencia. I'd been joking that I should have used one of my photos of the Uffizzi but by the time she'd finished I wished I had, at least it's only two point perspective. She has every confidence in me, I wish I felt the same. The class massively overran, it was 5pm by the time it finished. If I'd known we were not going to do any drawing I would have sat in the lounge instead of at the kitchen table.
Went out to get something from the freezer for tea, just got spag bol as it would be easy. Then my friend L rang to say that she'd felt rather daunted too by all the perspective, hers is just one point perspective but lots of detail.
Shortly after that another friend phoned, although she's a close friend we're not in touch a lot as she works shifts. We were talking for nearly two hours, well past the time I'd normally have my meal but I'd rather talk to her while I have the opportunity.
Fancied a glass of wine with my meal, shock, horror, I was out of supplies. Found a mini bottle of red wine, had that. The Tesco cavalry will be coming tomorrow! Really feel like a couple of drinks after this week.
Watched some TV, felt too late to be running a bath after so just had a shower. Haven't read a lot of the news today, that's probably a good thing.
