Good Saturday Morning Ladies,
It was an unexpectedly lovely day yesterday, Paul put towels abd bedding on the line early morning and they dried, it was quite breezy, very cold chill in the air too, I just couldn't get warm all day, I rested most of the day but felt to guilty to let Paul go shopping on his own, so I wrapped up and went with him, my goodness did I regret that decision after about 40 mins, I was at the point of wanting to scream at people that held the while aisle up while they stood having a 'catch-up ', then there were no Disabled parking bays, I need the door to open fully to be able to get my leg out, I am not steady enough to balance on one leg while stepping out, I have to have my leg literally lifted in, even more now I have this bloody hernia, as I use my abdominal muscles to help move my legs as I have no muscle strength in and around my hip. So when a young chap came sauntering out of the supermarket to his fancy new car that he parked in a nice wide Disabled bay so it didn't get scratched, I would have gone and kicked his car if I could!! I have never scowled so hard in my life ! 🤣
Sophie
The finished, varnished portrait
Soph was asked by the Lady thats head of Gardens at the Park to paint a portrait of 'Deb' the lovely PR lady on a pumpkin, the buy their pumpkins from a local charity group that grow them to raise money, they are coming in on Wednesday to judge the pumpkin competition at Wildlife park, so they are going to pop Deb's pumpkin in amongst the others so that she just comes across it while photographing all of the entries, Soph took it in yesterday and everyone was blown away, they reckon that Debs squeals of delight will be heard for miles around.
This is Soph's first portrait in Acrylic paint, she usually uses pencil. I am biased but I think its incredible, especially as painting onto a pumpkin wasn't easy, especially getting the colours right.
Amazing work as always Soph XXX
Gina
Great saying
ReplyDeleteSophie’s work is amazing and like you say, not easy painting on an uneven surface
Beautiful photos Gina I am so looking forward to our mini break next month
I hope you haven’t made yourself feel even worse by going out yesterday I got so angry at a man parking in a disabled space I said under my breath “I wonder where his blue badge is” he heard (obviously) and told me to “f**k off” and gaily sauntered into the shop
OH at football today So the day is mine! I wonder what I will do with it…!
Take care everyone xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteLove the quote! 😊
Wow, Sophie’s pumpkin is amazing. I’m sure Debs will love the surprise.
Gina, your photos are lovely, I hope you’re having a wonderful time.
Sandra, I hope you’re feeling better today and are able to have a relaxing weekend. I hate going to the supermarket now, we do click and collect for our main shop. Our Tesco is always so busy, if it’s not all the crates left in the aisle, its customers having a catch up! 🙄 So frustrating!
Have a good day everyone
Sending hugs to you all xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteThe saying is a nice one and we all deserve some more crafts and as I told you, I have bought some 😉🤗
Wow, that pumpkin with her face on is fantastic. She will love it 😊
Gina, hope you have a wonderful time at lake Garda. Beautiful place and lovely photos. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Haven't done much today other than change the bedding and that is a heavy and awkward job to do. I do thinking of getting two single duvets but OH is not keen, hmmn🥴
Sending you all a big hug, extras for anyone who needs some. Wrap up warm. xxx
Hello everyone, another cold day, but at least it was dry.
ReplyDeleteGreat saying, must admit I’ve spent quite a lot recently, all reduced items.
Hope you are feeling better today , I’ll second you when it comes to people parking in disabled bays, like you I have to have the door open wide. I have all my shopping delivered from Sainsburys now, have a yearly delivery pass, so it’s quite cheap.
Love the painting on the pumpkin, Sophie is very talented.
Goodnight all .Lilian
