Another week and ‘normality’ seems to be returning. Kevin and I went out on Sunday and there were lots of people about. Haven’t seen so many for months! The cable cars were running and the pier was very busy. Lots of people walking on the Great Orme and around it on Marine Drive. Our friends, […]

I meant to thank you all for the lovely comments on my ‘art gallery’ hall the other week, but forgot. I’ve never thought of it as an art gallery – I feel quite posh now! I haven’t done anything with the slate yet. I’ve got an engraving tool, but I’ve obviously put it somewhere ‘safe’ […]

Well, I was going to have a week off as I haven’t done much this week. Then I heard a lot of noise round the back of the house and discovered that some neighbours have finally had the roofers arrive to replace their roof. I’d chatted to Katie a couple of days ago as I’d […]

Still nothing to show on my desk; I’m still painting! I’m using a slightly different paint as I couldn’t source the one I used previously and this one needs 16-24 hours between coats rather than the 6 hours of the old one. It’s also a bit stinky! It’s supposed to be low odour, but it’s […]

Nothing on my workdesk this week – I’ve been decorating. I did a lot of decorating last year – 3 bedrooms, my craft room, 1 en suite, 1 downstairs loo, the hall, stairs, and landing, all the skirting boards, architraves, picture rails and banisters (oh, how I hate painting banisters!), and 4 doors. I decided […]

Urgh! My head is full of mush this morning. We were woken at some obscene hour by workmen doing some road mending right outside our house. I’d just managed to nod off and then the Police were at the door! Apparently there’d been a break-in down the road during the night. She was a bit […]

I’m a bit late today. What was supposed to be a ‘quick trip’ to Kevin’s office took all morning. Still, I managed to buy some lamp oil for my oil lamps whilst we were out so it wasn’t a complete waste of time! Just before we left I had some post: I’d won a couple […]

Welcome to a slightly damp day in Llandudno. We had rain overnight, for which the local farmers are mightily glad, and it’s a bit overcast. Actually, it’s been overbearingly hot recently so I’m quite enjoying it! For those that asked, Kevin’s finger is much better. We were able to take the bandage off and replace […]

Not much going on this week, I’m afraid. This picture shows my desk after a Zoom meeting with the Agenda under the keyboard, a couple of notebooks, some instructions for making a bag using fat quarters, some stamps, and a camcorder. The camcorder is what I’ve been using for my videos for Gareth Malone’s Great […]

Ooops, I did it again! This was supposed to be the post for #570…. So, first of all, for those of you waiting with baited breath, here is the first set of scrubs that I made all those weeks ago: It would seem that I’ve also inadvertently completed Julia’s challenge to finish an old project. […]
