Not a bad week – no more bits have fallen off – well I tell a lie….I tested my Morton’s Neuroma and Costsochondritis up the Malverns yesterday – as you do – much the same really – no better/no worse – mind you I think I was distracted from the usual pains by the fact that somewhere up one of the lumpy bits yesterday I pulled my groin and chipped the back of my front tooth veneer! Was very nice tho – and the weather held out. We met for breakfast in the Malvern Hills Hotel – and then went on to do 8 lumps of the Malvern Hills – including Worcestershire and Hereford Beacons and a last stumble up British Camp – which is a 2000 year old iron age fort resembling a tiered wedding cake – got some nice pics tho the day was dull weather wise.
Apart from the bits dropping off, I had a nice week really –
I have started a wood carving class – dad has done it for years – whittling away carving chess sets, hands, totem poles – self taught really – and the gang at the BWA were well impressed when I took a few of dad’s bits down to show them – haven’t carted the totem pole there yet….I had to make a special board to fit it – and dad and I have christened it. Dad made the totem pole to cover all the bubbles in all my wallpaper when I papered my bedroom a while back with cos it has a subtle red Indian theme.
So now I’m learning too – have joined the British Woodcarvers Association and meet at Brum University on Mondays and Wednesday evenings. I am carving a horse chestnut leaf – and am managing to conker it – it’s knot hard – especially with the support off the guys who know what they are doing! It’s so therapeutic – I go off into a little wooden world of my own :-)
Off now to soak my tootsies in my foot spa and watch the Strictly Dancing results – this is what Sundays are all about :-)
Hope your weekend was good – and all your bits are hanging in there
