Curious cat

We have been planning to renovate our shower-room for more months than I care to remember. Today the work finally started. The tilers arrived at 8am and immediately set up a tent contraption at the doorway to the shower room, complete with a hole to fit a tube that is designed to take all the…

5.1.21

Kitty is slowly getting old, like the rest of us. She has white hairs appearing in all that brown and black. Her nose has turned pink, because she had rather a bad cold, not covid though thankfully. She managed to lick all the black off her nose when she had the cold. I suspect that…

my geometric wall

Today I finally got around to painting my one remaining white wall. Every other wall has pictures on it, but this one was blank, in a narrow part of the hallway where hanging art would probably cause it to be even narrower. I have been planning this for months. My main problem was finding some…

Being artistic

I received from my daughters quite some time ago now, one of these painting by numbers for adults kits. Up to now I have had no time to unroll it or really look at it. Today, Easter Saturday, I decided that with this lockdown, I now have time, so i unrolled the kit. I was…

Being tidy with the jewelry

As my task of the weekend, I decided to sort out my jewelry boxes. I have way too much Jewelry, all tangled in the box, and ironically I rarely wear any. So I decided enough was enough, and got it all out, and sorted it, getting rid of stuff that I was never going to…
