It was a funny old day, weather wise, yesterday. Misty and dull all day and then, come the evening, definitely foggy rather than misty. It was the same this morning but now it looks as if the sun will come out and the mist is rapidly disappearing. Long may that continue.
In my sitting down times, I have been getting on with my concentric circles blanket. It's not a huge one, just a lap blanket really, and it's used up some of my stash of small balls of yarn as well as some of the larger amounts.
Here's a link to the original, Colour Study: Squares with Concentric Circles by Wassily Kandinsky, which was the inspiration for arguably the best art project I did withy my year ones. I covered it several times in my many years teaching Y1 and have very happy memories for how much we all enjoyed it.
I think I will probably donate this when it is finished.
Back to yesterday and I got my sound issue sorted - well, I didn't, my super clever friend (taught his boys in Y1) used a programme to take over my laptop from his computer and have a look around. At first he did just what I did and that was OK but eventually he found the problem and now I can be heard again. And I know what to do should it ever happen again.
Many thanks, Eddie - you are a star (yet again).
I did a bit of Cambridge 'research' and have booked a ticket for entry to Kings College grounds and chapel. There's loads of other lovely things on my list so I will just have to see how it all goes on Saturday, how the timing works out. The coach should get there at ten so I want to get my bearings, have a coffee, visit the market and look and the Corpus Clock and then it will be time to go into Kings. And then I will just see how it all goes. I'd like to visit the Round Church and look in one of the many museums (not sure which yet) and there's some nice shops scattered around. And there's something old and interesting around pretty much every corner, isn't there? I certainly won't be short of things to do and let's just hope the weather is pleasant - dry at least.
After personal training (as always, really good), I smartened myself up a little bit and Julia picked me up for our girls' meal out together! We used to go to a local pub but it changed hands and went downhill so now we go cross town a bit to the Harvester which we all like and which really isn't too expensive as these things go.
Before Christmas, I couldn't go, in January Beth couldn't go but this time we all made it and it was a really lovely evening. We've fixed out next date for early May now,
Driving home was a bit hairy in the fog but it's a familiar route so all was well. Thanks, Jules!
Today, as usual on Thursday, starts with a Chris and me chat at mine this week. Then I'm going to do my small weekly shop. And in the evening it's our Slim Win chat! SO a really nice day
