Ta-dah moment

 


The tiny teddy chair was such a mess- dull grey flaking paint - that I decided to rub it down and paint it today.  It was almost the last of the Johnson's French Chiffon paint so I will have to buy another can, as it is quick drying and has no aroma.


This is how it looked before - grubby and unappealing.  

I also sewed more of my first bathroom curtain, and that is looking good.  You can see the colours more clearly in this photo than the one I took the other day.





I got out for a walk earlier on.  As you can see it was quite misty.  I went up the steep hill, to try and improve my peak flow, which has dropped because of not being able to walk much this summer.


The eye drops are helping my eye but I want to see the pit which held the stye disappear completely.  It's not as sore looking as it was anyway.

I was out of bread today, so made a tasty loaf 1/2 and 1/2 with the Cotswold Crunch granary type flour.

So, not a great deal happening.  I picked some of the apples from the orchard - the birds are having a good time out there and lots pecked at.  I picked the cucumbers too and will empty the pots tomorrow as everything has died back in the polytunnel.

Off to watch another episode of Apocalypse now (Channel 4).  I am enjoying that.

Today's podcasts on Henry V, and the Hundred Years War - a different version to the 4 Hundred Years War podcasts I listened to a couple of weeks ago.

  1. The chair looks so much better, all you need now is a teddy to sit in it. We've got the footie on, not that they've started playing yet. I shall read and maybe have a glass of wine. Xx
